One question - I've never read the comic book/graphic novel/whatever you call it. Many of the negative reviews said the movie would be very hard to follow for people not familiar with the source material. Do you think that will be the case?

No, I don't think so. Maybe I'm giving you too much credit () but I think you'll grasp it. It may seem slow at first, but rest assured that everything will makes sense eventually.

I was mainly wondering if this is something cool enough that I should just go ahead and buy it. |

It seems like Watchmen would be better as a book than a movie.

Even then, it doesn't hold a candle to the graphic novel. The graphic novel is nothing short of the greatest artistic achievement that the entire comics industry has ever produced |

It wasn't a GN, rather a series, but I've always felt "Martha Washington Goes To War" would make one AWESOME movie.

I don't think that the original distribution matters. Many of Charles Dickens' novels (for just one example) were distributed serially by chapter to a magazine before being compiled into one, complete book. They are still novels.

Well, I got the last blu-ray Watchmen that Blockbuster had. I'll either watch it later tonight or tomorrow.
