Watchmen
They got the look and feel right. They cut things out, only two of them things I cared about. They didn't back off the nudity or violence, which was a pleasant surprise. Nor did they soften things like the Comedian and Rorschach. I agree they had to simplify things. I am told they shot a lot of it and are putting it on the DvD. I don't like what they did with the end, but at least they didn't sell out. I loved the visuals and Jon and Rorschach were particularly well played, but Sally Jupiter was terrible and neither Adrian's actor, nor Laurel's were particularly good. The Owls, Comedian, and Moloch were fine. I was bummed they cut out captain metropolis, but I understood. Same with the people in the neighborhood. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but I would have loved it more with better Ozymandias and Jupiters.
