Testamonial:  And i have actually gone to a bar and had a bouncer try to start a fight with me on the way in. I broke his teeth out of his fucking mouth and put his face through a passenger side window of a car.

Guess thats what the Internet was build for, pussy motherfuckers taking shit in safety...

My favorite part was the opening credits montage to Bob Dylan.
Mine too. I loved how the superheros were stealing famous moments in humanities history with john waiting on the moon for Neil, silhouette grabbing the girl instead of the sailor, or the retirement party last supper. These were all original material but kept closer to the ideas in the watchmen then some of the scenes that were done panel for panel.

I thought perhaps bisexuality, given his admiration of Alexander the Great
That would fit the bisexual villain cliche that was all the rage in the eighties

There is a trope referencing this:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DepravedBisexual  I note Ozymandias isn't on the list, but his sexuality is more implied than outright stated anyway.

There is only a brief appearance, near the end, but it looked alright, from what I remembered.

Its been a while since I read Watchmen, and I also saw it on a (lower quality) camera rip, so admittedly I am not the best person to ask.

They slaughtered Rorschach (figuratively) in the psychologist part.
Everywhere else he was alright.

nah, they also have him butcher a defenseless chained up person. that goes against the no compromises aspect of his character.

I wonder why they changed that?  I think I understand why the cigarette/eye part wasn't put in (I think there is almost certainly something in the Hollywood code about children appearing to smoke) but was a rationale put forward for changing that scene?  I'd just like to know if it was purely aesthetic or for another reason.
