Couldn't have said it better myself...
I saw The Watchmen, and as I predicted... It didn't translate on film as I had hoped. I was somewhat entertained, but that was mostly because I am such an avid fan of the novel. But hey, I couldn't NOT see it! It was just too much to try and cram into a film... There is nothing like uncovering the story page by page as your eyes scan through the multiple story panels. The way you absorb the novel is such a big part of its appeal, and that's just something that you can't attain while watching it through a movie screen. I could go on and on but I dare not bore you with my comic book nerd rants... GO SEE IT FOR YOURELF!!! :-p
