But I just read the msnbc review. oh. my.

That's what I'm talking about, it sounds like that review was written by someone that had no idea what Watchmen was about (ie had not read the book) and so in large part did not get it.

On the other hand, if the movie does not hold true to the book it could still be a good movie as long as you have not read the original story, I Robot for example.

I think I'll wait for the reviews:

If:

Readers like it and Non-readers don't = Read the book first

If Readers don't and Non-readers do = Don't read it first

If Readers and Non-readers don't = Not an issue, I'll just skip it.

If Readers and non-readers like it = Read the book first so I can get some of the inside jokes.

So, in the name of science, if you see the movie please post if you liked it or not and if you have read the book or not.

Thanks.
