I mean, what can I say. The unfilmable movie, remains unfilmable. I really do think that Zack did as good a job as he could have and I have to give some credit, but its just not a story that holds up in film. The pacing of the book and all of the little side things (under the hood, kovacs' psychoanalysis, etc.) is the stuff that makes everything that happens so much more powerful. If I was not already in love with the comic and judged the watchmen on the movie alone I would not really understand what all the hype was about. I really really want to be optimistic about the whole thing, but I can't. One thing I have to say is that everyone who hates on Mr. Goode is being ridiculous. I was very impressed. My initial doubt came only because I didn't think his stature would get that dominating presence that I always associated with Veidt, but the way he spoke and the way he looked down at everyone really made Veidt come to life. *applause* The Comedian was well acted as well, although there wasn't any hate directed toward him so I don't really have to defend that point =)
