So, I just saw Watchmen.
Regardless of the lack of that pirate story (and associated characters) and squid, I thought it was a very good movie, squared. However, I don't think that people that hadn't read the comic as I did before watching it would Get It. Especially the first bit of the movie would seem confusing, I think, as well as some of the more detailed sections of the movie.
Also, never disposed of sewage with toilet before. Obvious, really.
I didn't think it did the comic injustice, nor did it leave out bits that I was really bothered about. The squid missing is a tad odd perhaps, but they switched it with something more credible and something impressive enough.
Still though, people that haven't read the comic would appreciate it less. I know my parents slash family, for example, would WTF at it on multiple occasions, let alone the people that would WTF even sooner than they would. It's a vague movie if you haven't read the comic.
BUT, I liked it, and you can't take that away from me.
