No, there was nothing wrong with Watchmen. And yes, I have read the graphic novel.
I'd punch you if you weren't a woman.
Edit-Make that an attractive woman.

Come and have a go, if you think you're 'ard enough
People's issue with the watchmen, as I understood it, was the editing of the story... no one could fit all that graphic novel into a movie under 5 hours.
I think Snyder owned the watchmen.
Wait Watchmen was bad?? Must've not have got the memo. It was no Citizen Kane but it was a good adaption with a better ending than the Graphic Novel, and I was entertained throughout and the casting was excellent.
Snyder did a fine job. Nolan might've improved it a bit but not by much. Watchmen already felt pretty dark. I mean it wasn't like the Watchmen was like the Jerry Bruckheimer Batman. A cartoony, over the top, cheesefest.
How was the ending better? Put it in spoilers if you need to.

[/spoiler*]
Just remove the asterisk.
I know how to spoiler thanks. Go google it. It's more realistic than a stupid space squid. In a movie about superheroes and a giant blue guy who can bend time and space, and annihilate matter like a demigod there's only so much a general movie audience can absorb. They would've seen the squid/octopus whatever the fuckin' thing was and been scratching their thick money heads like WTF??!?!
snyders watchmen is almost perfect.
a.i. was actually a good movie. i guess it doesn't appeal to fans of movies like "bad boys 2" though. :icon_neut
As a huge sci-fi nerd, I can tell you that AI blew donkey dick. Horrible movie.
First time I ever saw it, I had never heard of it before and I was catching bits and pieces while multitasking watching TV. It was beautiful, I was sobbing lol. A few months later I stumbled on the wikipedia page and wept just reading the plot. Then a few months later I watched it on DVD with the ex after telling her how great it was. It wasn't even kind of near as good as watching it that first time was. I must have watched it in just the right order that hit all the right nerves in me. The ending just didn't resonate at all like it did before.
Maybe you should experiment by cutting it up and watching certain scenes only lol.
hehe... Yeah, There's just too much other media out there for me to revisit things I strongly disliked on the first viewing.
