Went and caught this flick today.

I thought it started out well hit a little lull and then finished very strong! My son who is a HUGE fan of the book was out of his mind with it and wants to see it again.

Helps to have read the book but not entirely needed. If you are going to this movie expecting the usual X-Men or Spiderman action/comic fare I warn you this is in a whole different league. It is not for the faint-hearted and contains some nudity.

I think all of the acting was pretty good with the exception of the actress who plays the Silk Spectre. I would not say it is a special effects driven movie but what effects it does have are well done. Dr. Manhattan certainly looks more real than say say the CGI Spiderman.

I'd give it a solid 8 and despite the little lull it did not seem like a 2hr 45min movie.
