Yeh they changed the ending
The Graphic Novel was more cinematic than the movie, panels were like a storyboard
Expected the movie to follow the visuals of the graphic novel for the Dr. Manhattan sequences, which they didn't
Expected the movie to show the doomsday clock getting closer and closer to 12, which they didn't
Tales of the Black Freighter animation is good though

I actually think the storyline of an alien attack would have been more effective than saying that Dr. Manhattan is trying to kill humanity. The best part was how indepth the comic goes into each character.
Yeah, the depth of the story is remarkable in the Graphic Novel. Though the movie was close and could have been good, but because they changed the plot significantly, it became crap. Alan Moore didn't take any credit for the movie.
I haven't seen the Tales Of The Black Freighter animation. Is it part of the movie or is it separate?

For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has never stopped thinking about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident. Refusing to believe that she would be abandoned as a young child, Jenna searches for her mother regularly online and pores over the pages of Alice’s old journals. A scientist who studied grief among elephants, Alice wrote mostly of her research among the animals she loved, yet Jenna hopes the entries will provide a clue to her mother’s whereabouts.
Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists two unlikely allies in her quest. The first is Serenity Jones, a psychic who rose to fame finding missing persons—only to later doubt her gifts. The second is Virgil Stanhope, a jaded private detective who originally investigated Alice’s case along with the strange, possibly linked death of one of her colleagues. As the three work together to uncover what happened to Alice, they realize that in asking hard questions, they’ll have to face even harder answers.
As Jenna’s memories dovetail with the events in her mother’s journals, the story races to a mesmerizing finish.
