but how many movies EVER have improved the source material? off the top of my head, i can think of basically 2: Field of Dreams and the Firm.

the point of adapting previous material to screen isn't to improve it, but to give it life, to give itr a different medium, and to entertain. if this movie does that, then i'm cool. if not, well...i'll feel about like i did after reading it, truthfully.

The movie guy for the Milwaukee Journal on his blog said that the sneak preview of Watchmen here got booed. I think people with zero idea of the source material are going into this expecting Iron Man.

Didn't care for the book back in the day and it really doesn't matter to me how faithful of an adaption it is.

All I'm hoping for is good movie that entertains me.
