I agree.

In a post of "Quick Movie Warnings," Barb Nicolosi summarizes her feelings on Watchmen:
WE WALKED OUT.

Awful. Disgusting. Degrading. Vile. Barbarous.

The kind of entertainment the Roman mobs were watching just before the barbarians came over the walls.

Did I say depraved? I meant to.

If you let your kids go to this piece of absolute unmitigated garbage, you deserve whatever nightmare lives they end up inflicting on you.

I fear I haven't expressed myself strongly enough...
I did make it through the whole movie, but kind of regretted it. As for Benjamin Button, I enjoyed that one but I can see her point that the film wasn't so much about the story as about the idea of the story. It was a little long and could have benefitted from tightening things up a bit (as in cutting out a couple sections).
