Go read the graphic novel. The graphic novel is beyond amazing. This movie adds nothing to it, it only takes away. Completely un-imaginative, every frame of the movie is straight from the comic book. Normally this would be a good thing, but not when you do it with a complete lack of your own creativity. The only really good things were the cast and effects, but the director's idea of what the movie was about doomed it's existence from conception. He thought that the ENTIRE story was about the guy getting away with killing all those people. Really? The message is clearly stamped on every page of the graphic novel. How could you miss it and think that the story was about something as obscure as that? Zack Snyder, you did an exceptional job on 300, but tell you what, take that annoying lisp of yours, shove it up your butt, fart, and then write a script about that. It'll probably turn out better and it's not as easy to miss the point of the story. Even if that were all good, this movie would still be doomed, they spent way too much time and emphasis on the nude/sex scenes and way too little were spent on the few action scenes they had. I would totally categorize this as an action/adventure porno. Just all around, the attention was put in the wrong places. Snyder refused to put cloths on Dr. Manhattan cause "that's the way it is in the comics and I want to stay true to them" yet he felt it was still staying true to the comics by cutting out one of the biggest events in the book, cutting out characters entirely, and completely changing the ending. Yeah, that makes sense. If he'd have stuck true to the other stuff and put Speedos on Manhattan, I really don't think anyone would have cared.
