Well, I did.And for even a comic book to movie translation, it was astoundingly accurate. And the changes that were made, well, they weren't terrible either.
Actually, aside from the ending, I could've read the comic and not seen any major differences, other than perhaps Silk Specter's costume. And I'm not complaining about that. What I am complaining about is the change in Dr. Manhattan's role in the end of the world scenario. Which was, I may add a change from not at all to implied complete cooperation.
Suddenly, it wasn't a cold war turning into a threat from aliens, but rather a cold war turning into a worldwide threat from John. Lovely. This is not a change I support, but it did not change the flavor of the film.
I would still rate this film a 4.75 out of 5. It was not perfect, but it was, in its own right, beautiful.
