You made so many mistakes I don't know wear to start. Open the dicks you call eyes you silly faggot it was Mr. MANHATTAN not doctor atomic. And he is played by billy cruddup not Adrian brody. LOOK IT THE FUCK UP ON IMDB. How hard is that?

Also there is no way that movie ends like what you said. You must have been too busy thinking about some gay Obama shit you fucking moron. Rorschach DIES at the end he doesn't save the day. The ending is not a HOLLYWOOD ending the only thing they changed hardly matters and it wasn't what you said either...

The rape scene is a serious scene of an emotional event that changes the characters relationships. Its in the comic by ALAN FUCKING MOORE and not supposed to give you a boner you fucking weirdo if you are too immature to handle it then don't fucking write a reiview

Also at the end of your stupid review you compare watchmen to fantastic four. Uh, guess what faggot? Watchmen is a commentary on shit like fantastic 4. It's saying heroes aren't really heroic and being a hero messes you up and stuff. Meanwhile in fantastic four they are all just okay with everything and being a hero is awesome. Use your brain next time you write an article because what you wrote was seriously something awful...

I just finished reading your review of Watchmen. Your obvious ignorance of the characters is irritating, but understandable, and most people will share that, so I am not going to complain about it.

But you ended your review with this quote:
"Those of you who aren't familiar with Gaiman's comic masterpiece and those of you looking for something a little more cerebral than, say, "Fantastic Four" should steer clear of Watchmen. It is a thrill ride and a treat for old fans, but it is not going to being winning new audiences to Gaiman's elegant work."

Neil Gaiman is a fantastic writer, both of comics and novels. His Sandman series is one of the gold standards of the genre. But you will not find a single word of his in Watchmen. It was the brainchild and work of Alan Moore, another giant in the comic industry. This fact is easily found with a quick Google search or look at Wikipedia.

You might try doing some more research like reading the credits on the graphic novel you said you bought and read. Getting a basic fact like that wrong, doesn't really say much about you ability to make cogent observations about any work.
