I read the book and saw the movie. I'll probably read the book again, but I don't think I'll be watching the movie a second time - it just had the feel of a big mind continuously being sidetracked by small details that resulted in mediocrity.

I really, really liked the movie version of Moore's V for Vendetta, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was pretty good. Haven't read the comics for them though. Watchmen was new to me until the film was being hyped. At the time these were being written, I was way into Heavy Metal magazine, with Tex Arcana as one of my favorite serials. Was disappointed in the '81 Heavy Metal movie too. Cool soundtrack though.
