One early review dubs the movie "... the first real flop of 2009."  http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/090227/entertainment/centertainment_us_film_watchmen  Is it just that the reviewer didn't "get" the movie?  Or does it really come off as flat as he says?  I know the graphic novel was pretty meaty, so I have to wonder how much got chopped to fit into the movie.
