I'm just glad it didn't disappoint me. Oversimplification would have done that. Although, some simplification (like the end, which is just too bizarre for cinematic translation, but seems right in the comic, I mean the synthetic alien's death throes psychic wail). The characterisations were superb. Nite Owl and Ozymandias were perfect. I loved it. A movie on a work as complex as Watchmen was not disappointing (like V for Vendetta)- that's good enough for me.
Yes, cinematically the climax is a big let down, but like you said, it is difficult to film the novel's climax. I believe Alan Moore has refused to see the film and he di not want his name in the credits either!
I really liked this movie for multiple reasons. mainly for its take on the superhero saga " target="_blank">http://www.isitworthwatching.com/2009/03/watchmen...
If you enjoyed the movie, do get a copy of the graphic novel, you will be blown!
