I agree you should probably read it before you see it. But it was very good. I have only two complaints. One, They should not have changed the way Rorschach killed the child killer. The butcher's cleaver to the face was in no way as cool as the handcuffing and setting the place on fire while giving the killer a hacksaw and telling him not to bother with the cuffs he didn't have enough time. It was just better in the comic and I saw no good reason to change it. Two, the way they handled Bubastis. He just showed up at the end with no more explanation then a quick mention of Adrian's company doing genetic manipulation earlier. My wife was like, "what the hell is that?". IMO they could have done this better in one of 3 ways. One, introduced him earlier and given a bit more explanation. Two, left him out completely. Or Three, just made him like a regular white tiger or something that you saw earlier with Adrian as a pet. I also agree this one is NOT for the kiddies! A couple in front of us brought their daughter and she couldn't have been more than 6 yrs old. It almost kinda ruined the movie for me. I wanted to be like, "I hope the money you saved on a babysitter is gonna cover all those therapy sessions that kid's gonna need in a few years." But overall, a great job and a beautiful translation from book to film! TWO THUMBS UP!
Watchmen
Team » Watchmen appears in 44 issues.
Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The grouping of heroes and villains contained in the work are not, in fact, named "The Watchmen", though they were at one point referred to as "Crimebusters". Rorschach, Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan were the team's primary heroes.
Comic Vine's Watchmen Review
i saw the movie, it was so gooooood, finally a movie how hero movies should follow, it had it until they blew up themselves up to make peace ..........what the hell just like that wheres the justice after that just give up and fly off into space disappear anyway i hope this doesnt happen for real just to have peace.
I loved that movie. I think it's better than the Dark Knight: it's less boring in some ways. I mean, the interesting scenes were the ones with the Joker, rest his soul, he did a great job. I especially liked the choice of music, Unforgettablefit perfectly with the killing scene.
And I simply LOVED Haley's performance.

This weekend could really determine how "successful" the movie is. So if you haven't seen it, maybe you could go and take some friends. Or even see it again. If you didn't like it, "Escape To Witch Mountain" is opening.
"I think I mentioned that I have great respect for "Watchmen" but I don't follow the hype that it has to be the greatest comic of all time."
You can't really say whether or not Watchmen is the greatest comic book of all time, because there are so many different genres, styles and opinions that it's impossible to determine.
What's more accurate is that Watchmen is perhaps the most influential comic book of all time. The things Moore and Gibbons did in that book were simply never done before. The modern comic book would not exist in its current form without Watchmen. Just as modern film would not exist in its current form without Citizen Kane.
I enjoyed the film. I had low expectations because, to be frank, I did not think Snyder could pull it off. The Dawn of the Dead remake was decent at best and 300 was one of the biggest pieces of crap I have ever seen. And the film had problems, like the action sequences. But overall, Snyder and the cast and crew did a good job.
I definitely wouldn't call it the best comic book film ever, though. For me, The Crow has held that distinction for over a decade.
