Watchmen tentacle monster?

Ronald Reagan gave a couple speeches where he asked the question, "What would happen if aliens attacked the earth?"-supposedly everyone would join together to fight against the common enemy. It was sort of strange. They mention it in UFO documentaries all the time.

Because you have to have Bubastis for the action figures.

I should add that the added death toll in the film is totally unnecessary--especially the destruction of Moscow, which could easily leave the Soviet strategic forces launching on their own initiative, because they don't know why they've lost contact with their superiors.

Seriously, NYC would have been enough. And why in the world did Veidt target Paris and (iirc) Hong Kong?

I thought having Veidt attack multiple major cities was a good idea, that way us humans would know John is mad at all of humanity, not just the United States.

I've also heard that the author of the comic was complaining about the movie.

I think that has always been and will always be the case with any film based on Alan Moore's work.

Some fans did an animated movie of "Black Legacy," his Doctor Who comics, and Moore gave the adaptation his stamp of approval:

First, let me say how much I enjoyed Black Legacy. It is not only the first screen adaptation of my work that I've actually watched more that the first five minutes of before being overcome with rage and disgust, it is the only screen adaptation of my work that I've enjoyed from start to finish and can say I thoroughly approve of.

So he does watch them, after all...
