This was a spectacular movie.
I knew it was going to be great, but I had no idea how great it was truly going to be.
I can understand a lot of people's agitation of the "random placement of music." Some of it did seem a little out of place, but I think it was meant to help remind the audience what time period this takes place in, instead of them knowing and then losing their concentration by the sheer awesomeness of the movie and reverting it back to our time.
There was only ONE song that I thought was out of place and I don't know the name of it. It was the song that was playing when Dan and Rorschach were flying to Ozymandias's Antartic lair.
The only two things I had a problem with at the start were Rorschach's height and Dr. Manhattan's voice. I got over these issues very quickly. Jackie Earl Haley was wonderful as Rorschach. His "Batman-like" voice wasn't as bad as I thought it might have been, and sounded very monotonistic when he talked for prolongued periods of time.
As for Doc M's voice. I thought it was a little too high pitched from the previews I saw, but it matched his character. The way Billy Crudip portrayed Manhattan matched the voice perfectly.
The movie overall was very pleasing visually and musically. When hearing Tyler Bates' score, I was mesmerized.
I have only ONE complaint out of the whole movie that really kind of took the excitement away. And that complaint is the actor who portrayed Richard Nixon.
With as much as they did for the special effects, you think they could have gotten better prosthetics. It looked absolutely HORRIBLE! Not to mention he was just a bad actor with a bad impersonation. I'm just glad he wasn't in the movie so much. All the other actors made up for his lack of performance.
And I don't know why everyone was getting upset of the portrayal of Ozymandias. I thought it was wonderful. While not as bulky as in the comic. He was majestic and very bad-ass in combat. He truly was the essence of Adrien Veidt.
I'd definitely give this movie anywhere between 8.5 and 9 out of 10.
