The opening credits of Watchmen was pretty good. Maybe I'll have to watch the movie after all.
Without spoilers, tell me,
1) Is it faithful to the comics or does it diverge wildly?
2) Is it good for someone who has never seen or read Watchmen stuff?

There were changes, mainly with the ending, but I felt the changes were good and you can't expect the movie version to be 100% like the book.
I went with one friend who never read the book and she really enjoyed it, though another friend didnt but that's because she didnt like the gore and rape scene, also it was a silly stupid superhero movie (she has bad tastes in movies anyways)

The movie is extremely faithful to the book but in the interest of time they had to cut a lot of stuff. In some cases the scenes they kept were changed, sometimes for the worse. There were a few things that the movie did better than the book. If you haven't read the book you might not understand the movie as well as someone who did read the book, but you will also have the benefit of not comparing the movie to the book at every turn, which is what I did.

Yeah I was sad about the things they couldn't keep in, but I am still anticipating the extended version so I didnt let it keep me down while watching the movie last night. |
