Spoiler...have Ozymandias' plot center on making Dr. Manhattan the agent of destruction, as opposed to the bio-engineered psychic monster that dies upon being teleported to NYC?
Though I admit it takes tremendous liberties with the source material, I think that, in terms of making a film that A.) works on the screen and B). has appeal beyond hardcore fans, the decision to
Spoiler...omit a gigantic, be-tentacled Lovecraftian beast was a good one.
For a film audience, I think leaving things as they were would've resulted in a tremendous "WTF?" moment that very well would've been met with a serious amount of "I waited three hours for THAT?" ridicule.
