I thought The Comedian was a really good character. He wasn't so much sadistic as he was completely amoral. I seem to recall them explaining early on that he was a "parody" of humanity, in that he saw the world for what it was and decided to just sit back and laugh, having a grand old time doing whatever the hell he wanted, because in the end it wouldn't matter. He was killed because he was working for the government, and Nixon asked him to look into Ozymandias' actions and he eventually learned about what was going to happen.

Dr. Manhatten was such an blue emo douche
I was surprised at how douchey Dr. Manhattan came off as well. Douchey from the human perspective, at least. When I went in I only knew a little bit about the characters, so I knew he was "Godlike" and just kind of assumed he would have this very moral quality about him. In reality he just ascended far beyond any human comprehension and had trouble relating to the people he once loved. That's why he left his former girlfriend, because she really was getting old and he couldn't make himself care. Ozymandias' plan made sense to him, but as he said, he neither condemned nor condoned it.

I want to see this movie again. I've also got to borrow the comic from a friend of mine. I'm interested to see what changes were made.
