    I've decided to go see the 8:30pm viewing tonight! (even if i'm going by myself)

    I normally don't listen to critics, and quite a few of my friends didn't enjoy it ... but our beloved IMDB gives it an 8.4/10!

    Watched it yesterday, I liked it quite a bit, though it is a tad long. Nice take on the superhero genre.

    Well, Watchmen is not your usual comic, so the Watchmen movie shouldn't be the same as any other comic made into a movie.

    It is a dark comic which was written in a way completely different from the usual comics, like Superman, Batman, etc. showing superheroes are 'human' too and they do have dark sides.

    In fact, only one guy is a true superhero (Dr Manhattan), the rest are all pretty much human with human faults and personality traits.

    I am going to watch it tomorrow and I am looking forward to it.

    I rather enjoyed it. Without giving away to many spoilers for those who have not seen it, I didn't really like the ending, but I kinda like that it was not a normal ending too.

    Oh and that Dr Manhattan dude needs to learn a new word : trousers.

    LOL... John was played by Billy Crudup. I thought he did it very well.

    Anyway, here's my take after seeing the Watchmen movie...

    It is thoroughly enjoyable. It stayed very true to the original story of the comic series. Just some slight changes here and there, but I am not spoiling it for others that haven't seen it.

    I was waiting for the 'last 40min drags' I have heard people mention, but it never arrived for me and then the movie ended.

    Also, not that much sex in the movie, it is especially not very raunchy and it is only really the one scene. Nice lady
    Something I will say - it has gore, making it very visceral. The one scene specifically might actually make you want to look away.

    All in all, I highly recommended this movie, especially for those that read the comic.
    It contains great cinematography, music and the scenes are epic.

    I like it when a movie's ending catches me off-guard and this one did just that.

    I found this write-up of the movie - a very good review / article, for all those doubting, not knowing what to expect and where the movie comes from.

    To think Doc Manhattan was totally rendered in CG. It was very well done.
