I saw it last night. I was suitably impressed. The prison scene which was my favourite part of the graphic novel, was also my favourite part of the movie. I thought the guy who played Rorschach was perfect in the role. The ending makes a bit more sense in the movie, aside from Nite Owl's reaction afterwards. But I have a couple of questions about the changes/things left out:
1. Why did they change the way that Rorschach kills the kidnapper?
2. Why is there no smoking? The flamethrower makes more sense in the novel because it involves cigarettes.
The only thing about the music that stood out to me as not fitting was Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. I love the song, but not a fan of his version of it. For some reason it just didn't work for me in that scene.
The opening credits were a fantastic way to summarize Under the Hood. Those excerpts were pretty important.

Thoughts in white:
I agree it seemed weird however, I guess if you consider Dan's impotency and Laurie's actually feel real "human" connection for the first time in years, it could be considered a 'Hallelujah' moment. Furthermore you have to characters who had just relived they're heyday, of which the song was newish.
I still agree that it seemed to not totally vibe in reality though.
