It wasn't way overdone with Nite Owl... when they were fighting in the alley, he broke some guy's arm and you could see the bone break out of it. It spent like ten seconds on the slo-mo of that.Milldawg wrote: The violence was totally inconsistent. There were parts where it was way underdone (like every scene with Nite Owl) and parts where it was ridiculously overdone (like every scene with Rorschach). It didn't know whether it wanted light comic violence or gritty graphic novel violence.

the cataclysmic event in the end is much more violent and features plenty of gore, and I liked its portrayal better there since it reinforced the nature of Ozymandias' actions. Also, the lack of the Hiroshima references and the Tales of the Black Freighter story really made a difference, considering how it developed Ozymandias' background and even hinted that his plan didn't work at all in the end. Also, Bubastis was meaningless in the movie.
