I finally was able to watch the movie version of Watchmen.

Alan Moore was right. You can't take the comic and transpire everything to the screen.
While Watchmen is still a great movie, it lacks some elements of the graphic novel. The ending has been changed and the famous sentence "Nothing ever ends" isn't spoken by Dr. Manhattan anymore.

The situation and the atmosphere of the movie does not feel so dire and helpless as it does in the comic and the nuclear war looming in the background doesn't take up as much space.

It is a great movie and you should watch it nevertheless, but it never can beat the comic book.

4 out of 5 stars.
