My brother followed it perfectly fine and he hasn’t read the comic, in fact he really liked the movie.

I found it to be a fair adaptation, but missed the nuanaces you get in the comic, which is be expected. The book/comic is always better, but I really enjoyed Watchmen. I can’t wait to see it again later this weekend.

This is very simple. Go and judge the movie yourselves. I re-read the Watchmen frequently – it’s that good. But I do not think any movie will ever come close to the book, then again I never expect it to. No one should. All reviews should only be taken as someone’s opinion and nothing more. Go and see for yourself and have your own opinion

How about everybody stops being nervous about this movie, how does that sound?

I’m awaiting John’s review here, I have a feeling it’s a positive one, and guys, Roger Ebert gave Watchmen 4 stars, so that’s a relief since he’s different than other critics

As a long time fan of the graphic novel, I LOVED IT. It was brilliant, despite missing some elements of the novel (otherwise it would go forever… like the directors cut, which I can’t wait for on DVD!) but the essence was there, and it just felt right.

My only criticism would be that some of the dialogue felt forced. Or maybe my interpretation of that dialogue from having read it, skewed how I thought it should have sounded.

It is a very complex, detailed story. And I know I was able to fill in a lot of knowledge myself from having read the book. I wonder if those who don’t know the book may find it too confusing.

Regardless, all I know is that I love it. Bring on this 4 hour directors cut DVD!

movie is ridiculously dense, i really dont understand how people are meant to follow the film if they haven’t read the graphic novel.

John’s taste in film is eerily close to mine, so I eagerly anticipate his review.
