I just watched it, dont watch it! It`s a piece of shit!
They should have stuck to the comic.
Um...except for the ending, it was about as faithful to the comic as it could get. What did they change that you didn't like?

What didn't you like about it? I loved the film. I hadn't read the comic before, but the film got me interested in them. I actually prefer the ending of the film to the one in the comic. Makes more sense to me to have Dr Manhattan blamed than for some fake alien invasion.
At first I was disappointed about the ending change, but after relaying those sentiments to a friend, he was able to convince me that it was an improvement. Considering all of the crap people had to go through to get this movie made(Alan Moore, the writer of the comic, did not want a movie to get made, and eventually refused to take a dime in profits from it) and the tone and feel of the comic not being condusive to an easy film adaptation, I thought Zack Snyder did a damn fine job. In fact, I've liked it more each time I've watched it.
