It's meant to be what would ACTUALLY happen if superheroes existed in the real world. In the real world (which is not rated PG-13) people die, use foul language, get naked, and have sex. and in the real world, you have to be a tiny bit off your rocker, or at least have some personal issues (like Nite Owl) to dress up in a costume, wear a mask, and beat up criminals in public. i saw the film and its brilliant. i'll admit i had a few disappointments, mainly with acting from the Silk Spectres and some of the people in smaller roles, but i loved it and am REALLY looking forward to the directors cut. i highly recommend it. but for newcomers please keep in mind that it is not an action film (though it is a violent one). it's a very intense drama that explores the psyche of people who would actually dress up and fight crime. don't expect lots of explosions and punches and kicks. but expect the explosions and punches and kicks that ARE there to be AWESOME! i loved it. 3 and a half out of 4 stars. i'm sure the directors cut will be 4 solid stars. i hope you enjoy it. because Duke so loves movies like “X-men”, “League of Extraordinary Gentleman”, and “Batman”, i wouldn’t imagine he’d get Watchmen.

I have never read any of the comic books, had never seen anything about it, so I went in with an open mind. I love comic book movies, and have enjoyed atleast 95% of all of them that I have seen. This movie left a real bad taste in my mouth. I got to see the movie for free on a sneek preview at a local theatre, and at the conclusion, I wanted my money back. The movie was too long, very confusing and had completely unnecessary scenes. The movie had tons of potential of being a better movie. Instead of trying to cram so much into one very long confusing movie, they could have made it into 3 more entertaining and enjoyable movie. The commercials made the movie appear to be similar to "X-men", "League of Extraordinary Gentleman", "Batman" and other superhero movies; but this crossed the lines that did not need to be crossed and broke the most common of super hero movie rules: 1. You imply death, you don't actually show it. 2. No foul language. 3. No sex/nudity, it is ok to imply and hint, but you do not show it, (the seen of the possibly rape and one superhero beating up a female superhero and then starting to rape her was unnecessary). Do not waste your money or 3 hours on this movie, if you must see it, wait till you can rent it for $1 on the Redbox. “Watchman” was the worst movie I have seen since the atrosity “The Marine”.

Plus, its light on continuity so that'll appeal to non-comic fans. I don't think fox or DC are going to be disappointed when it comes to profits.
