Saw Watchmen
on Saturday. The movie didn't disappoint, at least not those of us who know the deeper meaning. Afterward, at Barnes & Noble, I purchased Watchmen and Philosophy: A Rorschach Test - the book follows the events in the graphic novel (well, as far as I've read), rather than focusing on the film. So far, none of the writers have actually touched on Dr. Manhattan as the god who closed his eyes when he zips off to Mars. Maybe it's brought up later in the book, or maybe no one wanted to make the argument. Either way, the book's good. The movie's great. But the original graphic novel is the best.
