I saw Watchmen, midnight showing. My advice to you: see it.

However, there are somethings about it I didn't like... (Spoilers follow.)

First off, the end. There was no squid, no enginered alien. Just a pseudo-Dr. M light-show. Ridiculous. There's no way that would stop Russia and America from fighting. As a matter of fact, I'm inclined to believe that Russia would be more agressive if America lost its walking superweapon, only to have that weapon turn on them, as well as on the rest of the world.

Bubastis was in it. No reason, either, or explanation of her. If there's no genetically modified alien, why bother with the lynx? Hmm? She's just... there.

Also, Laurie didn't smoke. Small thing, I know, but it pissed me off a little.

Hollis Mason didn't die. Rorschach still died--but Dan saw it.

Hurm. Nothing else comes to mind that pissed me off. Which is... an acheivement. I think they did the best anyone could hope for with this movie. I know the exec.s were probably down Zach's throat on a lot of this, and all he had to point to was the Dark Knight's success. I mean, in order to make a Watchmen exactly like the book, you'd have to... have already had a Watchmen come out to be able to point to it and say, "See, people DID see the movie, despite all of this!"
