Short answer. Yes. If you haven't read the graphic novel you might be a little lost. There's a lot of filler material left out, and much left up to the viewer to assume/fill in.Overall it's a movie worth seeing at least once.

The movie is great I just saw it today and I got to say it's a must see. I never followed the comic but you won't get lost that badly the movie sort of has it's own plot.

8.5/10There are parts that drag on, and the quick shift to soft core porn in the middle is a bit excessive.

I didn't like the comics and I didn't like the movie either, but it did have some nice effects in it but all in all it sucked. Still don't understand why they claimed the comics was considered the top 100 stories of all time, yeah maybe back in 1985 it would have been.

This comic, as all comics, allows time for the reader to decide what to take from that read. The film is one take on what seems an obvious story. The real story is lost on most readers and lost in the film. It is not a literal tale.
It may be argued that the real meaning behind the comic is too occult for some therefore its important message is lost. The film offers everything superficial about this comic and badly explores the obvious story while ignoring the meaning of the tale, a good film can get away with raping a good story.
Sadly this is a case of a bad director (Zach Snyder) who took a shitty script from David Hayter and Alex Tse (both of which have no understanding of anything that smacks of subtlety or allegory) and then tried to make a mass consumable product of a very difficult original message.
This film fails.

Watchmen started as a 12 part comic limited series in 1986-1987 before they put them into one Graphic Novel in 1995 thats why I still claim them as "comics"

WinterreiseI couldn't disagree more.As someone who has read both the graphic novel (it's not a comic) and seen the movie multiple times, this movie is very good. It sticks to the plotline of the graphic novel religiously, while still keeping the movie in a viable time frame and interesting. It even cuts out the rather lame ending that is in the graphic novel and replaces it with a much more believe-able ending that ties everything together nicely.Also, if you're bawking at the sight of the male nudity in this movie, you need to grow up and see that it is being used in an artistic format, not a pornographic one.If you're someone who is capable of recognizing a very deep storyline and unraveling a lot of subtle-but-there deeper meanings, you're going to love this film. Really, this is more of a work of art than an action movie, and it needs to be recognized as such.10/10
It's not good if you dont like the storyline of the comics (which I own) but i do like the comics and the movie didnt live up to it! The male nudity wasn't good...it was weird. The effects were awesome though
