TotalFilm.com already has a review of the film up and they say it is very good. I’m not even a Watchmen fan but am really interested to see the movie.

I found the movie to be very entertaining even though I’ve never read the graphic novel… thought it was a nice addition that Snyder used the same kid that played a young Leonidas in “300″ as a young Walter Kovacs… who says there is no nepotism in Hollywood – it’s Snyder’s son, Eli.
It was a little long, but I never lost interest. I’m not sure if the narrative from Rorschach really did the trick, but I could see no one else narrating during the film. Jackie Earle Haley did a great job!
Reviews will wage a war of words against the amount of violence in the film, but it should harm the film at all… hope fully people don’t tire of the genre after the failures of “The Spirit” and Hollywood’s focus on putting forth scores of comic book/graphic novel based films.
I definitely give this one high marks – it won’t win any awards, but it should attract people into theaters and create quite a buzz abroad (regardless if Alan Moore gave the film his blessing or not – after his disagreement with film execs over “V for Vendetta”) the film should rake in more than enough to cover its $100 million dollar budget.
