Thumbs up Watchmen

Wow!

Saw it tonight and it was great. I'd actually like to see it again because there was a lot to see TBH.

Acting/direction/production/effects were all first rate. The only immediate criticism is that I wonder if people who haven't read the graphic novel will really appreciate it. It might also be the sort of film which you prefer on your second viewing.

9.5/10

Been looking forward to this since I first heard about it being in production.

Same here.
Glad to hear your verdict, Phykell, as I was praying this wouldn't end up being a total lemon.

I could go and watch it again tonight TBH - I can't remember the last time I wanted to see a film more than once

I just hope I haven't raised expectations too much now

I think that's a physical impossibility, as "everyone" has been waiting a long time for this.
While we're here, can I just say roll on Wolverine as that's another I'm eagerly anticipating.

Having read various 'user reviews' so to speak i've come to the following conclusion:

If you've read the novel - go see it, fantastic film.
If you haven't read the novel - Confusing overlong snoozefest of style and no substance.

On that basis, I will wait until i've read it.
