Alright I would like to hear you thoughts on either if you liked the movie, and if you read the comic whether or not you thought the movie did it justice.

I want to see it! I read the comic and heard it was too faithful and that people who haven't read it probably won't understand the movie.

So far so good, I might go see it
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

i just saw the movie and you should probably read the comic before you see the movie. Also, the movie did a great job of doing the comic justice.

I'm not going to see it.
At least not until I see a movie that I want to see.

Sastora, you gotta see this one. You'll like it.

I loved it. It had everything anyone would ever want in a movie. Ultra-vilolence that isn't overdone, sex (a little something for everyone), a compeling story, characters for everyone to relate to etc.

This is one of the best super hero movies ever made. Hands down.

Saw it last night. I am with Captain on this one, and I have read and re-read it before, so I can say with all honesty that this was the best Watchmen movie that could be made. Anything left out either was not needed, or will of course be in the "director's" cut or extended version. Aside from it just being a comic-movie it was also a very good movie on its own. I saw it with my girlfriend, who has never read a comic book, is 22 and a graduate student in Engrish (r=l in Chinese, she is Chinese so I kid her about it), and is a film and literature nerd and even she loved it. I had an older friend who was with me, he and his wife had both read it and were very pleased.

I will say this, if you are a Watchmen fan-boy:

1. You will not like.
2. You are a fan-boy so are an idiot.
3. Nobody cares what you think so your opinion doesn't matter anyway.
4. Get a life.
5. Suck my balls.
6. Get a life.
7. There is no way to make it perfect unless you spend more money and time on it than would make it finacially feasible to ever make and nobody would ever sit down to watch it but you, so once again suck my balls and get a life.
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.
