If you read the graphic novel you'll appreciate the movie even more. the character choices and set design was amazing.

he movie it self was 2 hours and 50 minutes of non stop amazing.

I've been biting my nails for this movie since before the Black Knight hit theaters!!!

I'm desperately trying to fit it into my schedule for tonight, but either way I'm seeing it soon.

i was utterly amazed at how true to the novel the movie was , the characters were like they were off the pages.. perfect matches. the ending was a little different than the novel .. but good none the less

I'm going to watch it tonight. I'm a huge fan of the comic, I just hope they do Dr. Manhatten justice.

Horrible movie IMO, but that's just me. Wasn't worth the 2.5 hours.

*Spoiler*
Good guy turns bad guy, defeats good guys, tricks world that naked blue guy is evil, world hates naked blue guy, world becomes peace with a common goal of hate for the naked blue guy, naked blue guy leaves earth, bad guy slash former good guy wins. The end. Lame =P

sorry, but I didn't like this movie at all. Did not hold up to V for Vendetta (same writer).

I can see how it would be cool for those who know the story or have read the book, but I walked out going "what just happened?"

like any book to film .. you lose alot of background that you would kinda need to understand the movie fully
