The graphic novel that most believed could not be filmed took two decades to get into cinemas thanks to Zack Snyder's sheer will. After 3 days it was shown here's some of the movie reviews I came across the net.
RT| Gritty and visually striking, Watchmen is a faithful adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel, but its complex narrative structure may make it difficult for it to appeal to viewers not already familiar with the source material. Read More>>

Director Zack Snyder's cerebral, scintillating follow-up to "300" seems, to even a weary filmgoer's eye, as fresh and magnificent in sound and vision as "2001" must have seemed in 1968, yet in its eagerness to argue with itself, it resembles "A Clockwork Orange."

Even Watchmen fanatics may be doomed to a disappointment that results from trying to stay THIS faithful to a comic book. Read Full Review>>

It's a compelling visceral film -- sound, images and characters combined into a decidedly odd visual experience that evokes the feel of a graphic novel. It seems charged from within by its power as a fable; we sense it’s not interested in a plot so much as with the dilemma of functioning in a world losing hope. Read Full Review>>
As for the killerfiller,overall a brilliant and enjoyable movie. Two and a half hour may not be enough to satisfy the fanboys but probably more than enough to appeal to everyone else. Visual experience is nonetheless magnificent, the music is perfect ("The Times They are A'Changin","Hallelujah","The Sound of Silence") and the fight scenes are well-staged.
