Okay, it's 1985. There's tension between the Soviet Union and the US. Nuclear war, and all that stuff. The Watchmen are vigilantes investigating a murder of another superhero.
The rest, I have to get from http://watchmenmovie.warnerbros.com/
I have no idea why I didn't read or even know about this graphic novel when I was little.

It's interesting you come into these threads (the comic book movie ones) and essentially mock anyone who has an interest in them.
I mean, I'm not a comic or graphic novel fan myself, but I can at least appreciate that there are people who are justifiably pumped to see this movie.

Ksig, I don't think she was mocking anyone.
I actually laughed...know why?
I actually found what she said funny and thought provoking because what she said (altho I am not sure if she knows this or not) was actually a reoccuring theme throughout the movie.
Ease up a bit on her, ok?

I think you're also thinking back to what she (wasn't it cheerfulgreek?) did with the Dark Knight thread.

all I can tell you is that you are in the ballpark...don't spoil the rest of it.
and Cheerful...When you see the movie you may want to rethink what you stated about the title.

I won't say anymore.
As a matter of fact I will go as far as saying that if you haven't done so, DO NOT read the early reviews because some of them had way too many spoilers within them
Go see and get back to me when you are done.

Yeah, most of the reviews I've read gave spoillers. Trust me, if you've never read the graphic novel, go into the theatre with knowing only what they tell you with the trailers. You'll be suprised, I can almost say, you will be like, wow.

i really really really could have done WITHOUT the blue twig and berries swinging around.
but other than that, the movie was good. relatively close to the comic. moreso than most adaptations.

Apparently, after talking with friends, my opinion is totally different than theirs, but I thought this movie was beyond HORRIBLE!
I watched with my mom and brother, and my mom was the only one who read the book. She liked the book, but all 3 of us wanted the 3-hours back.
Why did they feel the need to make John anatomically correct instead of just ambiguous, and the sex scene in "Archie" was unnecessary.
Horrible, horrible, horrible.
