It made sense if you've read the graphic novel...
I thought it was an excellent adaptation, myself.

I rather liked it as well
felt too long though, but I think I saw the uncut version first time round

This is the trouble with adapting any kind of book as a film
you will always end up with a film that's too long for comfortable viewing if it's faithful to the book, or you end up with a film that people whine saying it's not got this or that bit in it as you have to make some cuts.

Best thing to do is adapt a badly written book but with a good concept that no-ones read.

I really enjoyed it
can understand why they changed the end too.

only trouble with it was that ozymandius was a bit of a wet gayboy in the film, whereas he was super hardcore in the book. and the smartest person in the world, which was only alluded to in the film because he said it.

Yeah, he was annoyingly limp
have you spotted the bit where Night Owl and Rorschach are hacking in to his computer and there's a folder that says 'boys'?
