Saw this yesterday afternoon.. Loved it.
I got Lana to read the comic book this last week (it's only 12 comics, won't take long) and her observation at the end was that she probably wouldn't have understood it all without them.

It was a great realisation of the film, an almost perfect translation of the comic book into film. There were a couple of minor changes from the comic that made sense in the for the medium, and a slight irritating change at the end that I think lessons them impact just slightly.

Casting is absolutely perfect, spot on all round.

Be warned, if the 18 rating isn't giving it away: Lots of very graphic violence and one fairly pornographic sex sequence (with one of the best climaxes

). Oh yeah and Dr Manhattan is naked for most of the film with all on show.
