Watch it, Men.
What I loved most: Superheroes
What I really hated: Same old plot
I'm a huge superhero fan, and thus, I enjoy this movie.
Otherwise, it's just another crime thriller in a superhero setting.
Watching the old superheroes make me feel young, and almost powerful again (yep, I'm not young anymore).
Although it has the same old plot, the action sequences are still gripping enough. I wish there were more actions, not that there aren't enough.
Great costumes, great sounds, good camera angles.
Fans of comics should love this. Don't know about the others.

It reflect the whole thing about us human nature, always wants to kill each other, need sacrifice to wake up our idea. not for those who want to see group of heroes fight against one villian, for more mature andience. the movie show true face of human, dark nasty. not for childish people who don't want to see the dark(true) side of human.

Brave Attempt to Adapt Seminal Comic
What I loved most: Jackie Earle Haley as Rorshach
What I really hated: Terrible sex scene on a blimp
I guess the best (damning) praise I can give it is that it wasn't as horrible as I was expecting it to be. Of course, there's no way Alan Moore's sprawling vision is going to fit in a single movie, but Snyder does a decent job of trying. It's when he tries to do his trademark speedramps that it feels contrary to the spirit of the work. Most of the cast is decent, especially Haley as Rorshach, but there's a truly terrible sex scene. Overall the good and the bad kinda balance out, making the end result simply blah.

colourful characters
watchmen's storyline is quite okay but the director somehow managed to capture the audience's heart by introducing all these creative characters.The whole show isn't boring at all and I can assure you won't fall asleep while watching it.
