Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Saw Watchmen tonight. I've read two reviews of the movie, one bad (Washington Post) and one average (IGN.com). While I agree with a lot of what the IGN review said, I loved this movie. Also, while the ending is pretty implausible, I thought it was better than the one in the book.

Something I think is kinda funny though, is the way the movie is being marketed as a superhero action movie, which I guess it sort of is. But, I saw this guy who brought two kids, one looked around 10 the other maybe 6. The guy gave me the impression that he hadn't read the book and was unaware of the subject matter that was going to be portrayed in the film. This movie aint Spiderman. Hell, it isn't Batman either.
