It was a pretty good interpretation of the novel. I decided to just wait for the DVD to come out, and was pretty impressed. They did a great job of sticking to the story... and Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan were spot-on as I thought they should be. A good bit was left out, but you try to condense a 12-part novel into 2.5-3 hrs.. that's gonna happen. I rented the blu-ray, and will definitely be picking it up for good.
