Look, I'll be honest I am usually against people who bash things without even seeing it (GI Joe, TF RotF), but have you read Watchmen (You probably have)? How in gods name do you adapt that into a good movie?!
I read it. Stared at it. Read it again. Then wondered how the hell you can adapt it. It's like trying to adapt The Long Halloween in two hours and being 90% faithful to the script.
Plus they are changing the ending. And just look at Ozy:
Sort of changing the ending. Don't want to enter spoiler territory, but the final scene is the same. The only thing that seems to change is.. the... THING.. that was made. That's a relatively small detail in the villain's scheme - there's other ways to do the same basic plan without including the... thing... that's not in the movie, just so long as it manages to provoke the same response.
As for the nipples, it should be pretty damn obvious what that's about. The movie is borrowing its visuals from superhero movies, just as the comic borrowed from superhero comics.
A lot of very skeptical people have seen 20 minutes or so of the film, and I've not heard a single naysayer.
We know some things have been excised already (Under the Hood, Tales of the Black Freighter) that will be given to us on DVD. If you take the base running time of 165 minutes, knock off 10 minutes for pre and post credits, that leaves 155 minutes. Divide that among 12 issues, and you're at 13 minutes per issue. That's not nearly as bad a pace as you might imagine, when you consider some pages constitute a few seconds of action.
