Watchmen lawsuit settled

[liner]

it was weird, i haven't read the book, i've always wanted to and now i really have to. while i really liked the movie i always felt this depth or weight that the popularity of the book has. there are some scenes that i guarantee were shot to look just like they did in the book. again, this is coming from someone who has yet to read the book and that's where the weird part came in for me - certain parts felt like they were trying to be true to the book but just couldn't, either that or i just didn't follow a couple times. it's hard to explain, obviously, but it felt like a movie made from a book that wasn't supposed to be a movie. i know that's not very clear but the difference is that a lot of the time they just fuck up good books with bad movies and in my opinion, if the graphic novel is as good as it's supposed to be, i think it's possible that they have made a pretty good movie even if it's not completely up to the standards the novel set. from what i understand it was a pretty lofty undertaking and almost impossible to match up to the standards set by the book.

most of that didn't make sense. i've heard from more than one person that if you didn't read it, you won't "get" the movie and that's just not true. i got it, i just think the plot may have had a bit more impact throught the depth of the written word (and drawn pics). i thought it was really cool and seemed like it tried really hard not to besmirch the original material.
