The new ending worked really well, maybe even better than the original, and didn't really change anything as far as the resolution of the story, but I would have rather seen it the way Moore had written it. Other than that there were a few things I would have like to see included that weren't but those are just small things like lines that were omitted or small details that were changed.

I read an interview with Snyder on why the ending was changed.

Spoiler Alert!!!!

The studio execs thought that in a post 9-11 world that the GN ending was way too graphic and had reservations spending 100 million on it.

Snyder agreed and honestly the GN ending is what I really wanted to see but I can understand the alternative point of view.

I have not seen the final cut of the movie but i did see one of the prescreens months ago to help them cut the stuff out that wasnt as good or what not... I hated the comedians as a person but damn he was good at it!!! Ill have to see it again. This is defenatly not a normal rated R as mentioned above. It took me out of the movie a few times not because i wasnt happy about what i saw but that i didnt expect to see it. Did i say I hate the comedian??? Im surprised the other heroes let him get away with that stuff... what a Douchebag...

Watched it earlier today and liked it very much. There are supposed to be different cuts released later this year and one is supposed to be about 3 and a half hours.

Yeah, I heard that they'll be including the Tales of the Black Freighter in the DVD version.

I went and bought the Graphic Novel (outstanding work by Moore and Gibbons) and I had only read about 50 pages before going to see the film with my wife. My wife is not a superhero movie fan, but she loved this. I enjoyed this film too, not as much as the gn, but enjoyed it very much. I am now about halfway through the gn and am loving every page of it.

Great special effects... Great cinematography... Bla bla bla...

This movie is disturbing on so many levels!!!

PS - Don't take young children (or me) to see this movie!!! It is very graphic and gratuitous in both violence and sexual content!!!
