My favorite Rorschach line was "I'm not locked up in here with you, you're locked up in here with ME!"

That's my favorite too, but since I read the graphic novel that one wasn't a suprise for me.

My opinion is that don't try to rip this movie apart when it does adaption from the comics, it's pretty faithful for the most part. Like any comic book movie, it has snags, but not much that would bother you unless you point it out.

I might go see this, but I didn't really like "300" that much.

I didn't like 300 too much either, but I found this movie much better.

I enjoyed the movie it was entertaining. Opening night was not as crazy as I thought it was.

People in my office were saying the same thing. This movie's been almost drowning in hype, so everyone seemed to expect it would be pretty hard to get into. Then I start hearing how the theaters were actually only about 75% full even on Friday/Saturday.

I haven't read Watchmen yet (I've been meaning to but haven't been able to buy a copy) but I'm going to pick up a copy next week. I like Alan Moore's works, they're very interesting.

I saw it a few weeks back. It was kind of disappointing to me, though I can't really put my finger on why. The only interesting characters were Rorschach and the Comedian, the rest (Silk Specter included) just seemed bland and I couldn't really connect with them.

I had never read a graphic novel before but after seeing Watchmen I went out and bought the novel and finished it in a couple days I thought it was great (and I even went into the movie not expecting much).
