If you haven't read the book, there's a 50/50 chance you won't like it.
The few bad reviews i've read, it seems like the critic did not read the book. I could see a lot of people getting lost in this movie.

he was played by the little dude from bad news bears
 
one thing I will say is that if you havent read the book, the previews are VERY misleading.
i got a dude that just saw it and he was let down bigtime cause he thought it was gonna be this big sci-fi action flick, and I can def. see wheres he'scomin from.
4 hours and counting.........
 
Thats true, the previews will give you a sense that it will be action-packed like 300.
So to those expecting this movie to be that, they will be hugely disappointed for sure.
I must say though, that is what my brother was expecting but he ended up loving it and he has never read the book.
 
I saw this last night during a midnight release. It was pretty cool and this is coming from someone who hasn't read the book.
 
I saw this last night. Definitely a good movie for someone who got a basic overview of what 'the Watchmen' is from their cousin, without getting toldhow the story goes. If that makes sense. My friend who went with me said he thought it was great and he'd never even looked at the cover of the graphicnovel.

So to those are on the fence, and wondering if they can only enjoy the movie if you've read the book, thats not the case.
 
Ahhh, I got that text yesterday and then again today.
It's up to you if you want to post it, there really isn't any invitation needed anyways.
First come first serve as usual right?

I loved almost all the songs in the movie so I am considering going but I am exhausted since I worked yesterday til 6pm, followed by 4 hours of basketball,then to the midnight showing and back to work today at 8am. I have a feeling I'll knock out once I get home.

movie was very good...

it does lose something in translation though. If you don't have background information on the movie I can see being VERY lost throughout almost all of it.

he filmed the unfilmable, but he didn't transcend the original work.

Imagine kubrick trying to do this... I wonder what we would get

To be honest, I don't think even he can do this movie in a span of 3 hours. To get the essence of the story and to get it's point across and to get areal sense of feeling for all the characters, the movie will have to be at least 4-4.5 hours long. I do not think there is anything Kubrick could do to squeezein so much information in such a small amount of time. I could imagine him having a much darker version of the book though.

you're a kubrick fan I see

Ummm I honestly think he would twist and change everything to fit his own view of what he believed the themes of watchmen to be. Like you know how he basicallymade the shining "his" and not king's. I could see him doing this with watchmen. It would be much different than this for sure

He would probably anger fans of the book though

do you see this movie as "special" in any way? I feel like it didn;t make that jump. But the source material was so amazing that it works anyway
 
Just got home from watching the movie. Amazing; seeing it in IMAX was the way the movie is meant to be seen. The characterswere perfectly casted, and the visuals were nothing short of awesome.�
