watchmen haters

I tend to wander the net like a crackhead looking for his next fix. Once a topic is in my head it will be the only thing i look for. a few days ago i was looking for watchmen reviews to hopefully get any more info out of them as possible. Ive seen every trailer, feature, and photo there is related to anything to do with the movie. To call me obsessed would be a understatement. Sadly though my wandering sometimes takes me to the "ghetto's" of the internet. While on one slightly shady forum a gang of hooligans that had the pleasure of seeing a special presentation of the movie were complaining it was to much like the book. Too much like the book???? I remember when it was announced they were making the movie the internet almost had a billion person stroke from anger.

"how can they film the unfilmable?"
"oh great another novel fucked up by Hollywood"
"This better follow the book. i want to be able to see the movie and place everything in it in the book"

Those are some quotes from random idiots. These people did not want a retelling of the greatest graphic novel. "The fans" wanted their novel in motion form. So now that every reviewer has said it follows the book over 90% people are throwing fits. They want a retelling of the story. they want the directors perception of the story. if they wanted the exact story they would read the novel....

Am i the only one that sees a problem with this? I realize fanboys are fickle but damn...

oh and any forum that has a link to watch a movie a week or two before it comes out does not contain the movie just a billion virus's and or other evil things to screw up your computer.

Now you know!
