I hadn't heard that, should be pretty cool. I would love to see some guy go batshit with insane determination like that on screen.
Bathshit?

Same here, and i've read a bit more than half of it, never got to finish it. Hoping to watch the movie next week though.
Oh. I say apeshit. Cuz that makes more sense to me. Bats aren't a threat imo.

Snyder has plans to release a director's cut theatrically in July if it does well enough in its initial release. His director's cut is 3 hours and 10 minutes and includes extra violence and more sexual content. It doesn't include TOTBF and other scenes which were omitted. A cut which includes 'everything' will be released on DVD. Snyder calls it the 'Crazy Ultimate Freaky Edition'.

Saw this movie Friday night and loved it. I have read Watchmen and was really psyched about the movie, and I think that it definitely lived up to my expectations. I'm glad that they kept all the gore and sexuality from the novel/book/comic intact. [BLACKOUT]In fact the whole thing except the ending was extremely faithful to the book, and the new ending actually makes more logical sense.[/BLACKOUT]

Just got back from seeing it. I feel that Zack Snyder did as good a job as anyone could have done given the challenge of adapting Watchmen into a film.

My thoughts on the movies portrayal of the actors:
Rorschach was SPOT ON!(granted, the movie marginalized him and made him a far more minor character than in the book, but he maintained the essance of rorschach. only thing i could say would be kovacs' face wasn't as lumpy as the comic)
Dr M was good. He was playing a virtually emotionless character, but did it well.
Silk Spectre was meh. worst of the main characters imo. she didn't have NEARLY the emotion of the comic.
Night Owl was ok. not as whimpy as he came of in the comics, and the lack of [BLACKOUT]Hollis Masons death, and Dan's subsequent RAGE[/BLACKOUT] took a lot out of the character.
Comedian was good. got the personality perfectly.
Ozymandius was meh. under emotional, even for his role, and he just looked funky in the costume.

I need to see it again. I was so focused on how it compared to the book I couldn't take in the film properly.

Story line was choppy because the book was.
It's no more confusing than Sin City or any Tarantino film.
