This is by far the best superhero movie I've ever seen. I haven't read the graphic novel so I can't/won't compare the movie with it. It's almost 3hrs long, but it does not get boring at any time. They have put in a great pause in the middle of the movie where Dr. Manhatten narrates and then it goes up again. It's so well written and everything gets tied up in the end. I don't understand those who found this boring but I guess their attention span is quite crappy. I've just ordered the graphic novel after seeing this yester and I can't wait to read it. I am a fan now. Recommendable!
