I know practically nothing about the original story other than its set in an alternative 1980s with masked heros/anti-heroes/superheroes.

I did quite like this movie.  Sure its got many problems! eg. The ending feels rushed.  WTF is that tiger thing at the end?  Why does Rorschach's mask have those changing patterns?  Extended sex scene in ship!  1 maybe 2 too many musical sequences.

There is an extended DVD/Bluray version to follow, 30 mins extra I think so maybe that will help with some of the story character elements or maybe it won't!

EDIT: CHECK THE LINKS BELOW AS THIS IS BEING REMOVED OFF MANY SITES!!

I'm mother fucking sold. I know you can't judge a book by it's cover, but I think I'm really going to enjoy this one. Thanks for posting that!

This is disappearing off many sites so catch it while you can!

Or go watch the movie!!

Got to watch it. It makes me want to see the movie just for its odd style, though I know people on here say it sucks.

Dylan was so fitting for this sequence, it's ridiculous. It works on a lot of levels.

Read the book if you want to know the answers to your questions above. Theyre all explained. All the problems you saw were because they had to cut details in the transition from print to screen.
