After my review of the graphic novel you knew this was coming.
The first area I want to talk about is the cast. The main cast is Billy Crudup (DR. Manhattan) Patrick Wilson (Nite Owl) Malin Akerman (Silk Specter) Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach) and Matthew Goode (Ozymandias). I have a few problems with the cast such as THE FACT THAT Malin Akerman CANNOT ACT, Jackie Earle Haley's voice can be a bit to crackly, and Matthew Goode's inability to show emotion when needed.
Another point I want to touch on is the cinematography. While this movie is literally dark you can make stuff out usually and its not depressingly dark. The green screen works with the actors while never seems out of place. The best piece of film comes from the intro where it combines slow motion shooting with exposition in the background and foregrounds of the environments.
The script has flaws a perfections. The positive's are how true it stays to the graphic novel, The great dialog(sometimes misdelivered by Malin), and the character development. There are really only two negatives I can think of the lack of moral ambiguity and the love scenes that were just there to say WE ARE R-RATED SCREW YOU BATMAN.
-----------------Spoilers IF you haven't read the comic book or dont want to know the changed ending-----------------------------
[spoiler] The ending is better in the movie then it is in the GN. The ending is changed to make people think that Dr. Manhattan is the worlds new enemy thus the world unites way better then the RETARDED OCTOPUS in new york i mean wouldn't Russia just think we were faking if the Octopus was only in New York. I think the world would be more likely to unite if they thought Dr. Manhattan was watching them like an overlord. [/spoiler]
-------SPOILER ENDS---------
Altogether I have to say this is a GREAT Superhero movie better then the overrated Dark Night don't take your kids unless they like blood and blue penises but besides that altogether I recommend this movie to everyone except kids under 11 (sorry no blue penis for you). I give this movie a 96%
