Doug Gordon 4 years agoI thought it was a excellent on screen adaptation of the novel. The movie ending was actually better to me than the novel. Strong story supported by excellent visuals.

clarencechestnut 4 years agoI didn’t read the graphic novel (I’ve never read a graphic novel, actually), didn’t know any of the story going in. 8.5 at IMDB after 4000 votes is pretty solid so I went. I thought it was phenomenal. I always dread reading reviews of movies like this that I enjoyed because they usually explain why I can no longer enjoy the movie. Not this time. The movie is a stunning visual achievement, and like Ebert, there was so much going on in some frames that I don’t think I will see it all in three viewings. I wish they would have developed Dr. Manhattan’s quantum reality a little more, the love scene in the Owl was a little too earnest for it’s own good, and the gore level could offend some, though all I see is movie props in service of a story so it didn’t bother me. What this movie did have was intelligence, and a voice. It reminded me a little of Firesign Theater and how they twisted our own reality just a bit to come up with something completely alien, but familiar at the same time. Recognition of the normal in the weird highlights the weird in the normal. And character development - I thought the old newstand guy and the teenager’s character was better developed than any of the character’s in The Good German. All that, and I didn’t look at my watch once.
