As a longtime fan of the comics, I really enjoyed this movie. Honestly, it came out better than I thought it could. Having read the books there were parts that I really anticipated seeing on the big screen. In most cases the film succeeded with a faithful jump from comic book page to screen. Are there some cuts and changes? sure, but overall I thought it was a great adaptation of a work that has long been considered un-filmable.

If you have not read Watchmen, It's a dense, layered and complicated story, both in the original comic and in the film, different folks take varied things away from it, your mileage may vary!
