Might take a decade, but you can see this getting to Broadway at some point. Could someone phone Alan to see if he's interested in getting involved. - zeroinfluencer from Bookmarklet

So I know a bunch of you saw it last night. What did you think? For me, I had trouble just *watching* it. I was trying to figure out the little changed details, cuts and different dialogue. I'll have to see it again.
My two foremost thoughts were. Wow, how did Zack Snyder get this movie made? Risky choices for an event movie. Love that. Also, Malin Ackerman was just bad. The rest of the performances I think were great. - Khyle
Yeah, I know what you mean, Khyle. I have mixed feelings overall about the movie. Big hairy thumbs up for the performances of the Comedian, Rorschach, Nite Owl (II), Sally Jupiter, and Dr. Manhattan (somewhat grudgingly, but, you know, he would be pretty difficult to play). Ozymandias and Laurie Jupiter - not so favorable. Overall, if this movie could have been made, as is, in 1987 or so, it might have had more resonance. - Mark Dykeman
I didn't remember this being in the comic, but it was rather interesting to see that it was the Comedian who murdered JFK in the Watchmen-iverse. - Mark Dykeman
I thought it was excellent. I went in with no prior knowledge of the written work, as I usually do and adored it. I didnt wanna go in with preconcieved notions like a lot of people because they often come out dissappointed. I just look at it as a stand alone piece adapted from a written work. - Jorel M from twhirl
@Mark: I agree with basically everything you said. Great movie with great acting (I especially liked Rorschach and Nite Owl II). I especially agree with your point regarding timing and resonance and I was just discussing it with a friend. I can only imagine what a splash this would have made on mainstream popular culture if it had been released as is somehow in the late 80's/early 90's. In any case, I loved it. - Chieze Okoye
It'll live on if it's seen as a cult classic rather than a weekend blockbuster. Problem is, it's over hyped unless you know about the novel and Moore's writing in general. As a stand alone movie - it's maddness. Give it time to be enjoyed by a wider audience over generations to come. - zeroinfluencer

The ending (SPOILERISH) - is the ending of the movie better than the original comic? Same? Worse?
If there's one major criticism of the comic, it's the, um, solution used to deal with the nuclear arms race. Bluntly, some readers found it lame. The method is different in the movie, but the intent and results are similar. In both cases, you have to wonder if the master mind was really so smart if they came up with that kind of solution to the problem. What do you think? - Mark Dykeman
I like that the non-squiddy device was being built right in front of us throughout the film. That was one of the few surprises of the film. I'm kind of mixed about blaming Dr. Manhattan. I don't think it quite works the same way. - Rob Haas
Being in the Brownstone ready to fight crime instead of retired and happy was bad and in conflict with the scene before it - RAPatton
@Robert Haas - that's a good point about the non-squiddy device. I'm mixed about having Dr. Manhattan blamed, if only because it further paints super-heroes in a bad light in the Watchmen universe. However, the fight scene with Dan, Laurie and the gangs that attacked them disturbed me even more. Dan and Laurie were in a bad spot, but they were vicious in their own way and the way that they got off on it was disturbing. That's one of the themes of Watchmen that seems to get forgotten. - Mark Dykeman

Newsarama.com : Watchmen Box Office Watch: Midnight Showings Double '300'
""Variety reported this morning that Watchmen made $4.6 million during midnight showings Thursday evening/Friday morning, more than double the domestic midnight gross of director Zack Snyder's previous surprise graphic novel-based smash, 2007's 300. Watchmen reportedly played in nearly 1600 theaters around the U.S. Thursday night, with all 124 IMAX showings completely sold out, prompting the company to add 3am shows in some venues. IMAX reports most of their weekend showings around their theaters are sold out. The Hollywood trade also reports that over 92% of ticket sales on Fandango for this weekend have been for Watchmen, indicating a highly-motivated base on moviegoers anticipating the film. According to Variety, some analysts are predicting Watchmen will surpass 300's record March opening weekend of $70.9m, though some of the Internet prognosticators are being a little more conservative, with boxofice.com projecting $70m and boxofficeguru.com coming in at "around $64m"."" - RAPatton

Just out of curiosity: How many people picked up the DVD of the motion comic this week? If so, are you trying to pound out those five hours before seeing the movie?
I haven't. Thinking about it though. If I find it on sale, I could see myself picking it up. - Derrick
