You heard our thoughts about Watchmen in show 0021. What did you think of the adaptation of the comic book to the big screen?

I thought it was an excellent adaptation, and wasn't jarred out of the experience by the changes that were made for plot... although how they altered the Roschach-cleaver-dog-murderer scene was rather disappointing. That said, I don't know that it was an excellent movie, in terms of stepping back and trying to imagine watching it without benefit of being familiar with the graphic novel, in terms of plot and flow.  Ever the optimist, I'll give it an 8/10.
