probably not, critics are hating on it for being too much like the comic as stupid as that sounds.

I know you guys are going to give me shit for this, but I've never read Watchmen. I've actually never been able to afford many comics, which sucks. But I'm kinda weary of this movie beacause it seems a little "Over-Hyped".

Watchmen is actually one of the few graphic novels you can most likely find at your local town library. That's how my roommate got a hold of a copy.

I felt like if you were someone who didn't know the story a lot of stuff might not make sense.. but I feel that about a lot of things. That's how I felt about LOTR when I first saw it. Maybe I just think people need to see the original material of stuff first.

Not a big fan of sex scenes? You gay or something?
Just kidding you man. But in regards to what you were talking about needing to read the book before hand, I felt things that were subtle in the book were made blatantly obvious in the movie. I didn't realize the meaning of the last page until I read it a second time and realized the magazine publishers were talking about Rorschach's journal. In the movie its impossible to miss. I actually love how they went about the ending too where Veidt used Dr. Manhattan as a scapegoat rather than faking an alien invasion. I felt it tied the story together more nicely, the only thing I wish they kept from the book was the conversation between Dr. Manhattan and Veidt after it was all over and without that scene it makes Veidt seem a little two dimensional.
