While I think the new ending is well-intentioned, my main problem with it is that I didn't really believe that an attack so wide in scale and of that particular nature wouldn't have been confused as a nuclear strike by one or both superpowers and prevented the real missiles from launching. The film's explanation of how the scientists pretty much instantly knew it was Dr. Manhattan's energy signature seemed too pat. Say what you will about a giant alien squid-thing, it's sufficiently weird that I don't think anyone would confuse it for a Soviet attack
On a more minor, purely visual level, I missed the piles of thousands bodies at the Pale Horse concert and the rivers of blood running through the city.
