I saw the movie a few nights ago. It took it sometime for the story to progress, as the beginning was character development for the cast and their past relationhip with The Comedian. Most of the characters were interesting, but I do not like the ending and disagree with it 100%.

No one has the right to use force against another person (when I say "use" it means initiate, people have the right to defend themselves). Ozymandias' view that he has the right to kill off people to save the world is completely wrong. Every person has the right to their own life, no one has the right to take over it. If a person does, that is the path of the tryant, the dictator; they abolish all rights to life and embrace that they can judge who lives or dies. Ozyamndias believes that the ends justify the means, this is completely wrong. The end never justifies the means, that way of thinking treats humans as chattle, sheep who can be used in any way for any reason that is perceived to be good. If how you accomplish your goal through violating the rights of others then your goal is not good, but a mutilation of what is good. Those who believe in this, reveal that their own life is worthless, meaningless, and have no self-esteem. It is a gross error in epistemology in thinking that inalienable rights can be broken, inalienable means that they can never be broken or else the person who does is commiting high cirmes against humanity.

Dr. Manhattan agrees to this view because even though he says he values human life, this view contradicts it. Because of his power and existence he has lost association with human life and thus value life. Since his existence has transcended mortallity he has lost the concept of values to him. For it only through the life that values can be established. Since he is no longer mortal he has lost all values for nothing can now help or hinder his goals. It will happen no matter what happens. Also Dr. Manhattan sees his future, but that is only one future, by believing that must happen, he acts to fulfill, something similiar in Tales of the Abyss, he could have chosen to do something different changing the future but he became a slave to the future he saw, this happened in part due to him losing all values. Because he became disconnected with life and himself being immortal the future and human events meant little to him.
