Re: Watchmen
Just seen this movie yesterday!
I managed to finish reading the comic just a couple hours before (had a bit of a hard time getting into it at first but it really hooked me in later on).
I think the movie turned out to be as good as could realistically be expected. It's not Batman/Dark Knight-good (which is pretty much gonna be the benchmark for "realistic superhero movies" for the foreseeable future), but it stays very close to the source material. Biggest change was the ending, and you miss some of the subtleties in the background stories but at 2.5 hours the movie is already quite long so it would have been impossible to get everything in.
Of course Batman had a solid lineup of some of the biggest and best actors around to carry the movie, and I felt that Watchmen could have used a bit more of that too. All the characters definitely looked the part, but none of them really managed to get to the level of acting of the main cast of Batman.
