Funny you should mention Watchman as an example of story compression. I, too, felt there was something seriously "missing" from that film ... but when I read the comic afterwards, I was surprised to find that - up until the octopus creature at the very end, if was pretty much filmed frame by frame - with barely one or two scenes left out of the film.
It just hit the wrong note with me, I guess. And Kick Ass just hit the right ones for me. Obviously YMMV, and that's cool - and more and more understandable as I am exposed to more varied reactions to the film.
