Having only recently picked up the book and read it, I can say the movie was pretty dam good. The montage thing that filled in some backstory was good, and the movie didnt feel 2:40 long.
Comedian and Rorsach are my faves. Blue dong not so much. Nite owl sex scene overdone too.
Thumbs down on the guy in front of me who brought his 3 daughters to this. Ages 6-9 or so. NO exaggeration.

I saw it friday. Pretty interesting show. Done very differently. Kinda reminded me of Sin City for some reason, but not quite. Pretty damn brutal. I didn't know it was rated R. Tripped me out when they dropped some eff bombs. More gore than i've ever seen in any other superhero movie. It was good. I didn't read it. But i thought it was still good. Not one of the greatest movies, but definitely worth watching. I haven't seen so much dong since watching some Peter North movies a week ago. But at least in those movies, it served a purpose. I have no idea why they kept showing Dr. Manhattan's wiener. It's not like it was what gave him his powers. Just didn't bring anything to the story other than a bunch of giggling in the theatre.
I'd give it about a 6 out of 10.

i liked it. never read the books but it makes me want to now just to get a bit more of the story line. i liked the Comedian's character for the little that he was in it, plus Rorschack was interesting too. something about sociopath superheros was a nice interesting twist to all the superman/batman/spiderman feelgood stories. dark and graphic is nice for a change. but having not read the books i didn't feel as lost as i thought i would have been. sometimes when hollywood makes a movie based on a story/book they either leave stuff out or add stuff to make it more interesting. a friend at work had told me that the movie was pretty spot on to the book. i want to go see it again in imax. maybe Dirt wants to go too so he can see the blue schlong in imax???
i never read it...didn't actually know of it. thought it was your regular sci-fi superhero movie based on the commercials. a friend went to see it and by the sounds of it...it's WAY too graphic for me. 
from what's been described...the gore alone will keep me from seeing it.

I went and saw it last night. It was amazing. I really liked the subplots, layers and how everything fit together.
splatter on the ceiling. missing arms. the dogs and the leg. there was some gore.
i saw it tonight in IMAX. i dug it greatly.
to the comments above about the blue dong: it was proportionally sized. plus it has a point, if i read wikipedia correctly: the gradual abandonment of clothes is an indicator of dr. manhattan's gradual detachment from humanity
I have watched it just this afternoon. Yeah, lovely stuff on the movie. Quite comparable to The Dark Knight, what do you think, guys?
Heath Ledger could have done a better job as the Silk Spectre than the chick who played her. He is the best actor period in both films.I have watched it just this afternoon. Yeah, lovely stuff on the movie. Quite comparable to The Dark Knight, what do you think, guys?
But the Watchmen is more violent and has more visual impact.
So you are saying Heath Ledger would look better in a rubber suit? Are you basing that on his performance in Brokeback Mountain?
I'm pretty sure all dongs have a point.
I use mine for sex.

irate2:I went and saw it last night. Didn't expect much as I pretty much hate everything...And I was pleasantly surprised. I've not read the book, tried, can't take a comic seriously.
Very well packaged for having so much in it. I would've cut the airship sex scene, or at least changed it...Really? Leonard Cohen and the flamethrower? Fail.
Opening credits are amazing. AMAZING. Haley is stellar as Rorschach. Definitely either a love it or hate it movie. Subject of Morals and Ethics classes at various universities for years to come...sadly.

If Watchmen is as bad as Inclag says, you, sir are on CRACK.
Hot Fuzz was extremely funny. Maybe if you'd have said "not as bad as 300," or "not as bad as Sin City," or "not as bad as V is for Vendetta (or whatever that retarded cinematographic POS was called)," you might have something going on...

As good or better than Dark Knight imo.
Again we're dealing with a comic book movie, if you can't handle witnessing blue dong, go see Slumdog Millionaire or something.
Also greatly enjoyed seeing Coraline a few weeks back.

Finally got around to seeing this last night. You were most definitely looking too close. LOL.
All in all not a bad flick.
Sqagles, square bagles!david cross?
same here finally got around to seeing it about a week ago and I thought it was ok...now of course I have read the book at least 5 times over the last 15 years or so...but just like most movies once you read the book the movie hardly ever measures up. They left out to much info but it's what I expected for a movie...as far as the blue dong....never even really noticed it...some of you should maybe ask yourselves WHY you noticed his weiner so much

I saw it on DVD as well. I thought it was OK, Funny I didn't read the book, but I came to the same conclusion that stuff was left out. I was lost most of the movie and really couldn't follow the plot. But then again, it's a comic book so I guess the movie following the style of the comic book pretty well since there seemed to be "chapters" even if they weren't noted as such.same here finally got around to seeing it abouot a week ago and I thought it was ok...now of course I have read the book at least 5 times over the last 15 years or so...but just like most movies once you read the book the movie hardly ever measures up.
