"Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?"
I love this film, anyone agree?

I saw it when it first came out, and really enjoyed it even though I've never been a comic-book-to-movie fan. Great characters, excellent acting and a superb plot. Def. recommend it!!

I'm a comic book fan, but I have never read the graphic novel of this, after seeing the film though I do want to read it.
