Being a big fan of the novel, I didn't like the movie much. Perhaps Terry Gilliam was right, the novel was/is indeed unfilmable.<BR/><BR/>@Ashok<BR/><BR/>Where is your "Joshua Tree" review?Tyler Durdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522408143329977249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160776.post-86486888282274241102009-03-08T15:10:00.000-07:002009-03-08T15:10:00.000-07:00Ohh, that is interesting.

But I was surprised how much of gore I was able to take on. I realized it when I read couple of other reviews and thinking back it was pretty gory. But yeah it is a graphic novel and it comes with the territory I believe. But the film could have been better in my opinion.Ashokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817757322994851367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160776.post-41238034134261148102009-03-08T13:08:00.000-07:002009-03-08T13:08:00.000-07:00As someone who loves the comic book and liked the ...As someone who loves the comic book and liked the movie quite a bit, I'd be glad to tell you just how the endings differed, if you're sure you want to know (don't read on if you dont!) ... The intent of Adrian Veidt, as twisted as it is, is the exact same in the comic book and the movie .. The big difference is that instead of faking an attack by Dr. Manhattan, Veidt instead creates a giant squid, which the earthlings think is some kind of alien attack, causing them to all bond together out of fear ... For me, the ending of the movie was better than that insanity because it made it hit even harder when Dr. Manhattan has to kill Rohrschach (as he did in the comic book too)Reel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.com
