What would they do, just blame the US? In the movie Veidt didn't just destroy NYC. He also attacked other cities across the world (If I recall, Moscow too). This made Dr. Manhattan a common enemy to everyone.
Having Veidt obliterate an entire group of semi famous people after having them disappear for a couple of months, then creating a giant 'brain' which can't handle the basic teleportation system he's created so that it explodes and unleashes psychic waves? Then the rest of the world unites against an 'alien threat' that all it has done is teleport into new york city and exploded? You mean, all this race has managed to do is appear and then explode? Not much of a threat they can do anything about if you ask me. And a bit too complicated.
Now, if you're living under fear of an alien they're all familiar with - Dr. Manhattan - and have seen what he can do, and have seen that he has become slowly alienated from the rest of humanity. That's scary. This man that is indestructible. Best not piss him off, or give him any reason to be pissed off. See what the motherfucker can do?
Lines:
I went and saw this again with friends who hadn't seen it (but again had not read the comic). I didn't giggle as much though the parts I did before and I also found the soundtrack to be less annoying. (Maybe because I went to a different theater and it wasn't as loud??) Overall I still like it and I still prefer the ending of the movie to the book for the same reason as above.

I still don't understand the hate for the alien-squid-ending.
Eris:
Ben and I went and saw this last weekend, neither of us have read the comic (we figured we would watch the movie first, so that we were a bit more impartial, I guess?) and I liked it. The sex seen made me giggle and I can see why people didn't like it. I thought it dragged on a little, and the closeups of jiggly bottoms made the whole thing a little ridiculous, but hey, whatever.
Iwas telling Ben afterwards taht they changed the ending from the comic, and how there was a giant one-eyed tentacle monster thingy from what I had seen in discussion threads because of some psychic dealio (basically in those words, too. I am great at explaining things.) and he just looked at me blankly. That kinda sums up how I am feeling about the eminent tentacle monster part of the book. You guys aren't really helping with that.

There's no hate. I didn't mind the ending in the book, in fact, I thought the fact that they went insane with fear when the alien squid landed was an awesome addition. I just thought the Dr. Manhattan ending was more believable.
