You have to read the book first to enjoy it. Somethings I liked, some I didn't.
Cons: For one, the film is much gorier than the book to the point were it can get kind of stupid. Dan and Laurie never killed anyone in the book, but in the movie they broke necks and stabbed people in the throats. The swearing sometimes was forced just to warrant the R rating, since they never went further than the occasional "shit" in the book. Rorschach is my favorite anti-hero along with the Punisher, and leaving out most of his story pissed me off. Still waiting on the Director's Cut DVD. Malin Akerman is a piss-poor actress and brought down some scenes, made it hard for the other actors to work with. Pros: Fight scenes were very stylish and cool. Some were better than in the book. Beginning intro was cool, summed up all the old technical stuff pretty well (probably confusing for people who never read the book though) Rorschach's voice overs were almost word for word and Jackie Earl Haley was perfect for the role and looked and sounded exactly as I imaged Rorschach would. I liked how they changed Rorschach's first killing. In the book he became Rorschach when he killed the dogs, instead they made him Rorschach when he killed the guy. It's more meaningful to go crazy killing a PERSON than a dog. "Men go to prison, DOGs get put down!" was a good line too. I liked it and wasn't as dissapointed as I thought I'd be. Can't wait for the DVD.

BTW, I completed the page 'cause I watched the movie with guns on my mind, so I tried to ID them best I could. Also stripped google of everything I could.

My favorite Rorschach line was "I'm not locked up in here with you, you're locked up in here with ME!"

That's my favorite too, but since I read the graphic novel that one wasn't a suprise for me.

My opinion is that don't try to rip this movie apart when it does adaption from the comics, it's pretty faithful for the most part. Like any comic book movie, it has snags, but not much that would bother you unless you point it out.

I didn't like 300 too much either, but I found this movie much better.

I haven't read Watchmen yet (I've been meaning to but haven't been able to buy a copy) but I'm going to pick up a copy next week. I like Alan Moore's works, they're very interesting.

I saw it a few weeks back. It was kind of disappointing to me, though I can't really put my finger on why. The only interesting characters were Rorschach and the Comedian, the rest (Silk Specter included) just seemed bland and I couldn't really connect with them.
