As you can tell by the ads on The Escapist, Watchmen is coming out soon. I liked the movie but I'm not sure if it is worth purchasing yet. What do you guys think? Is it worth buying or should I look for something else that has came out recently? If so, what?

Yes, yes and a million time more: YES!

I'd also reccommend buying the book if you haven't read it already.

Have you seen the film before?
If not, rent it see what you think.

If you have seen the film, why are you asking? Your opinion is your compass here.

If you haven't seen it I wouldn't recommend it. Just read the graphic novel; it's infinitely better than the movie.

Personally I though it was an amazing film. Despite this I'd have to say...No. Not yet. With a rumoured Ultimate Cut in December...Well I'm waiting. I recommend you do as well. However if anyone wanted to send me the Director's Cut as a present I wouldn't mind (Hints and winks in an overly obvious manner).

Where has that rumour sprung from? I'l be waiting for that if it's true. And 'ultimate' sounds pretty all encompassing, wonder if they'l integrate or at least include as special features the black freighter stories which have been released separately..?

I was just wondering everyone elses opinions on it.
I say yes go out and buy it, buy the comic too.

And while your at it buy any books or comics or films with Alan Moore's name on it as well, such as BladeRunner, Scanner Darkly, V for Vengeance.

*groans*, ultimate directors cut?, that'll be overpriced I bet, like a million bucks.
I feel they are a cash in, how many times have we had Star Wars re-bastard? , sorry I mean remastered.

*giggles like a school girl*, actually the thought of an extra layer of Watchmen for me to digest is delicious! I was just moaning about other less worthy stories being "extended" or cleaned up.

I saw this today at a friends house strangely enough, I thought it was pretty cool, long but interesting.

It's a good investment, I mean the movie is really long, add in the bonus features, you're getting a decent bang for your buck.

This man is a genius, do everything he says.

My opinion: Buy it. The film was absolutely amazing whether or not you have read the book. It is a brilliant rendition of the book and despite missing out a large amount of the original plot it makes up for it with how they vary the plot to make it work, and the end is equally shocking as a result, even if you've read the book. Definately worth buying I reckon, as well as the book if you don't already own that.
