The Watchmen

"This movie is about a bunch of washed up HUMANS with no powers."
"B u t i t m a k e s n o s e e n n n s e !!!"
"Watchmen" is a very bad movie, and I am one of the few people who have the guts to say it!

I consider myself a very open-minded person, I can enjoy over the top violence, gore etc. but this???

After watching 300 my expectations were ridiculously high but I did not expect this from Zack Snyder.

A boring plot that moves along like your Grandma's childhood memories.

I've never been to a movie that spent this many hours being bad.

There were all these silly side sub plots that totally confused the storyline! The movie jumps around way to much, doesn't have a solid plot line, bored the hell out of me!

There were just too many plots happening all at once, very very very long introduction.

The plot is dizzily boring and confusing.
"never-ending series of meaningless dialogues"
The book may be very good (friends tell me it is), but I can verify that the movie is awful.

Events and character choices just didn't make sense to me!!

It is a constant and never-ending series of meaningless dialogues

I just could not wait for the impending nuclear holocaust because then I would be able to go home. And I'm actually a very peaceable person...

I really don't understand people who are saying they will watch this over and over!?
I don't dislike Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel or Leonard Cohen.

I cared less about the blue penis

the giant blue Smurf who's genitalia seem to make their appearance with ever increasing frequency for no apparent reason.

The constantly flashing big blue penis was already quite disturbing/distracting in itself, but not as much as the script itself.
The "heroes" allow millions to die because they are too crappy at being heroes 
The movie does not manage to make me feel connected to any of the characters. This is the main weakness to me.

The Comedian is the only one I loved straight away but he dies within 5 minutes.

I found myself caring only about Rohrschach.

'Rorschach'. The only character that you actually felt anything for.

The one shining light in this movie was the performance of Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. Of course he sounded like a conservative so they had to kill him off before the movie ended.

Nite Owl is a geek. He's the kind of classmate who's name you wouldn't remember after 1 year.

Silk Spectre II was horrible. All she does is have sex with the guys without too much of a pause between them.
"Worse than Shakespeare!"
It amazes me how much emotional baggage these people in their stupid costumes can carry around with them.

a bunch of boring people who think that they can save the world.

it has hardly any plot to speak of! Both my girl-friend and I vented our anger about this fact after the screening

Silk Spectre II's life was a joke and so was this movie.

The rescue scene followed by the sex scene just about sums up the whole film - it was just non-arousing, boring and pointless.

Recall that extra homework you got after behaving badly at school? Well, I at least do, and this movie is it. Worse than Shakespeare written on paper, if that means anything.

The only time I paid attention was when someone's bone popped out or someone's arms got chopped off.

PS.
I found more than 150 reviews with 1/10 rating at IMDB. I only had the time to study 50 of them.
