I saw it, great movie! But definitely NOT one for the younger crowd.
The reason I say this is because there is some very explicit sexual scenes and a LOT of gore.
But it is a great movie, and even if you are not a comic book fan (I definitely am NOT), you may still enjoy it. Lots of action, good plot, amazing special effects, etc.
I never read the Watchmen comics, so it was a little confusing, but it all makes sense in the end.
Just keep in mind if you do watch it that:
-The "Present" takes place in the 80's, in an alternate universe (so do not let historical inaccuracy draw your attention or leave you baffled)
-They are vigilantes
-Vigilantes were outlawed
-Although they say they stand for justice, sometimes they do things that are less than civil (especially the Comedian).
-There is no "good" guy or "bad" guy, they all have their own motives.
