My feeling about "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" are very much in agreement with yours. :D
I know you were already bored but I think they should've tried to make the ending "longer" to let it better sink in what he has done. It should've also been possible to make the movie shorter by cutting other scenes.
I agree with you - if they cut down some of the monotone speeches of Dr.Manhattan (and some of Rorschach's voiceovers) , removed the whole Mars bit (seems to be pointless and didn't add anything to the story) but played the ending better it could have been a totally different movie. The movie really was quite interesting to watch in the first 1/3.
re Rorschach: He was the most impressive character. And strangely enough even more so when he took off his mask. Very fearsome. And the other bad guy, Comedian, was also remarkable. And there it is again, the ambiguity that the worst characters are the most fascinating. :)
They are both my favourites too, I had a bit of "Oh, this is Danny from Grey's anatomy and Daddy Winchester from Supernatural" in the case of the actor who played Comedian, but he was good!
On the other hand, Dr.Manhattan was quite ridiculous.
