WATCHMEN is not a good movie.

[Bursche]

Get over it. Its a Novel to Movie transition, and just like any other ones (Harry Potter, Narnia, Twilight) you get a better experience and understand if you read the novel. That being said, if you read the novel, while you would understand the movie fully, you wouldn't be awe inspired by it either because its a direct transition except for the ending.

But by your criticism, it just seems like you're an immature moviegoer who expected the next Dark Knight.
