See it yet?

Not everything is translatable between mediums, and just because a translation takes place doesn't guarantee the translated item will bear the quality of its origin (I don't think I really need to cite examples here, there have been plenty of them). So calling the Watchmen film a failure because it didn't achieve the same level of qualilty as its source is both foolish and more than a little naive.

In fact, one might argue that for an "unfilmable" graphic novel a film that's enjoyable at all is a massive achievement.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
