Read the comics. It is far and away the best thing to ever come out of the comic world. So good that it's the only book that ever gets mentioned in best novel lists.
Alan Moore has said it was never meant to be a film and even wrote the story with that mind. Watchmen was written not to show that you can make a great movie or novel, but written to show what you can do with comics that cannot be done in film or literature. It's a fucking masterpiece.
That being said I don't look forward to the film at all. I really believe that the best thing about it will end up being the Smashing Pumpkins song in the trailer.

I've checked out some scenes from the film, they look pretty horrible. Imma try to get it on bootleg just to see how bad Snyder fucked up on this one.

The only way, in my mind, that this project ever stood a chance would have been a 12 part TV series on HBO and directed in the same way Rodriguez did Sin City, meaning go panel to frame and spend a lot of time with Gibbons on what he feels it should look like on screen. I would have been excited about that project.

But it is targeted towards you. No self respecting fan of the comic is anticipating this film or expects it to be anything better than average.
When I say read the comic. I don't say that to comic book fans. I say that to fans of great storytelling. It's the kind of book that could be used in a University literature class. The type that takes a few reads to fully understand.
