I only had two problems with the film adaptation of Watchmen:
First, the ending in essence changed Adrian Veidt to an even more cold "save the world from itself" type of character. Not only did he force his former friend into self-exile, but he made him look like the sworn enemy of all human life! That's beyond low.
Second, the book strongly implied the Comedian was the younger Silk Spectre's real father but left it up to the reader to figure it out in the end. However, the movie had Dr. Manhattan just come out and say it, not only dumbing down the plot but also changing the character for a moment; never is he that direct.
Overall though, an entertaining movie that doesn't completely piss all over the source material like some adaptations have. I'd say a solid 8/10.
