This is a link post Watchmen goes viral
Despite the fact that I don't like the way they've animated Dr Manhattan and that they're not going to have the original ending, this film has such potential to be fantastic that I'm still terrified they're going to make a complete mess of it.

This is rather nice though!

This is a normal post Bit of a spoiler in your post there?
Might be worth changing it to save those who may not have read the book.

This is a normal post Right you are
to protect the innocent. My friend who isn't into comic books just read it and was blown away. I think I may have a little too much influence on her though, I explained to her the concept of lolligoth (with pictures) and now she's obsessed.

This is a normal post Good work with that!
In my flat at the moment there's a copy going round being read by everyone, and so far we've got six people who are so excited about seeing the film that we've all promised to buy tickets for the first night as soon as they go on sale. Result!
Not sure about the viral, but I do like how they've done Manhattan personally. Oh well, anything which means I can see more of the film is a good thing, in my book.

This is a normal post I've heard they've changed the central conceit of it
but not the overall ending. No tacked-on happily-ever-after thing, it just wouldn't work. Not after all the effort they've put in everywhere else.
Trying to not give the game away here for the uninitiated...

On both counts.

This is a normal post As long as they have something like the silent images of New York just after the climax
I won't mind. That chapter was incredible. Shame they're getting rid of the space creature though. I guess they had to argue enough to keep Dr. Manhattan's gigantic freakish one-eyed monster in the final cut without another one stealing his thunder.

*geeks out*
