Watchmen

Okay,

this might be a **SPOILER ALERT**,

but maybe not. If you've read the novel, you'll get this.

Isn't Ozymandias' entire character based on a misreading of the poem? So, he's the smartest man in the world, but somehow literary criticism is beyond his ken

Yeah--that's what got me. I got the name in the book, but putting the poem so prominently in the background in the film, chiseled in gold no less, makes somebody look like they weren't paying attention. Or didn't get around to reading the last few lines.

There were some holes. But I did like Jackie Earle Haley alot. He came off being the most sympathetic character, which is odd.
