Being in the industry for my whole life, I can say that The Watchmen was one of the best stories any comic book has ever had. It was based around a bunch of normal people in a fictional/alternate world. The characters were not there to impress or "wow" the reader, they were merely people doing what they wanted.
The book was much better and flowed a lot better than the movie did. The movie cut out some important scenes and important plot information which made the ending seem unexpected and even over the top. The book lead up to that ending much better, it didn't seem like it came from left field, or that it was trying to be "smarter" then it really was.
I enjoyed the movie for entertainment purposes and I enjoyed the art/filming/atmosphere of the movie. The book however was better in every sense of the final product.
Read the book to be impressed, watch the movie if you're bored.
