I watched the watchmen

So I saw the Watchmen movie on saturday. I heard good and bad stuff about it but decided to see it anyway just because I was looking forward to it for so long. I am glad to say I was surprised. There were some changes but nothing that was that big. The changed ending worked. Not as well as the original but it still worked. Some things were taken out to make it shorter (like the death of Hollis Mason) but it will be out in the 3 hour director's cut DVD. So what have we learned here? Although a lot of comic book movies suck the readers must be open to new ideas. Its just a movie so die-hard fans (like myself) should calm the fuck down.
