I really disliked at the over-the-top violence in the fight between Dan and Laurie and the street thugs. It was uncomfortable, served no purpose except
making the viewer wonder exactly what is the difference between them and Rorschach, and to top it all off, was not even consistent because they had a clean,
non-murderous, "Batman" fight scene later on in the prison break scene.
(presumably reinforced) costumes while the prisoners were unarmed and came at them a few at a time from a single controllable direction while they had their
costumes on for protection.

It is unfortunate that the director clearly hated Ozymandias; he's a complex character in the book, but pretty much a cardboard cutout villain without
any subtlety in the movie.
My one significant nitpick with the movie was the inclusion of Bubastis. Since the giant psychic space squid was dropped from the plot, there was no need to
include a CGI gene-spliced pet to prove the viability of genetic engineering. It simply became a tacked on WTF?!? version of Blowfeld's cat.
