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.
This is one of the few movie adaptations where I was glad they changed the ending. The ending in the book was so awful that it had to be irony. You have a book based on realism with this outrageous ending. I just don't think that type of irony would have translated well to the screen, plus the new ending fit in better with the Dr. Manhattan stuff. The Nite Owl bit was a little odd, but maybe it was easier to portray his close friendship with Rorschack that way?
