Watchmen Blu-Ray DVD

I have to admit-I was not a "fan" of Watchmen until the film came out.

I would agree with many reviewers that without some familiarity with Moore's novel, the film could be confusing.

I know there are purists who think Snyder should have filmed it panel-by-panel, I don't completely disagree with them, but that may not have been practical.

This DVD was on sale at the place where I got the Snow Leopard upgrade. I noticed it was Blu-Ray at checkout, and nearly did not buy it.

I had noticed the "digital copy" designation, and they said I would, in fact be able to view the movie. I like the movie, but was not familiar with the "digital copy" concept, so I decided to give it a try (worst case: return it).

The digital copy option worked perfectly. I put the DVD into the iMac, and iTunes took care of the rest. The download was fast, and now I have Watchmen!
