It's so good that it consistently flies above critics' heads.
Im starting to wonder if some of you actually understand the story. Ozymandias' plan is to manipulate the Soviet Union and the US into making peace. The novel's ending accomplishes this in an awesome way that reinforces the idea of the sick humor of reality. It is a narrative that runs through the entire novel (the Comedian).
Why on earth would Dr Manhattan killing 2 million Americans cause peace? He was a war tool of the American government.

It is, on a basic level, the same end point.
Dr. Manhattan attacks both sides, killing millions.
As I said, the general outcome of both movie and GN is that humanity unites through fear of a common foe, all based on a massive lie.
Does it deliver as well as the GN? No, but the general message is the same.

I didn't really think of that. Yea, it does hurt the end theme.
I don't think it ruins the movie though.
