Watchmen: Movie and Book

I had read the graphic novel before seeing the movie so I had a good idea how dark, troubled and violent the story of these superheroes was going to be. Zack Synder did a really good job staying true to the novel even capturing some of the panes as they were drawn back in the 80's. The casting was great and even the big blue wang of Dr. Manhattan seemed to fit right in with the rest of the group. I would suggest reading the novel first because there are a few elements of the story which will be easy to understand with the proper background. All-in-all it was a solid start to the spring/summer movie going season, even if spring has yet to really spring here in the northeast.
