Absolute Greatness!

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2009)

Fantastic movie! Snyder did a great job of bringing the novel to life. This story was syrupy thick with human drama and realistic characterizations. Dr. Manhattan did look a little stiff (not down there) but the lip-synch did not appear to me to be off. The sex scenes and fight scenes were very graphic, very realistic and very appropriate to developing the characters and stories. The violence was very graphic (blood, burning flesh, severed limbs) it deserves its "R" rating. Please, do not bring kids (I saw some there) as the sex scenes were very graphic. I read the book, my wife did not, we both were able to enjoy, understand, and relate to the story. The ending made more sense to me than the one in the book, it seemed more realistic in the story line. They did eliminate Vice President Ford and some other characters and elements that I thought would be important, But as the movie is at three hours I guess something has to be cut. I can't wait to see what Snyder puts in the Director's cut! Must see multiple times!
