I personally went from the geeky love of super-heroes and from the hype of MindGrapes and the film industry. I know hype is never a good reason to see something, but what can I say it has its rewards!
I appreciated the twisted plot line that enthralled me in the mystery along with some very complex, deep characters and complicated relationships.
I really was impressed with mode of presentation and the way in which the told the story along with the visual aesthetics and the talent of all the actors.
Overall though uber, and I mean UBER violent and sexually graphic in nature (I had to stare at my cup for awkward amount of time), I still suggest taking the time to see it. Just don't take any kids with ya. It for sure earned its R rating, besides the depiction of Dr. Manhattan. Maybe the choices of depiction worked with the bleak nature of this film. Adding to the present thought/belief that humanity is bloodthirtsy and a selfish race. Definitely a dark mood that matches the anti-heroes of the film/graphic novel.
Final Statements:
Even though a socio path, I rooted for Rorshach.
Enjoyed Nite Owl's boyish charm and struggles
The music was amazingly and worked perfectly with the narration
Best line: "You people don't understand. I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with ME!"

Whoo! I'm really glad you liked the movie. Having read the graphic novel, I really enjoyed seeing the movie since it did a great job in translating the story to the screen. I was super impressed with all of the actors and thought they portrayed their characters perfectly (especially Rorschach, Comedian, and Nite Owl).
But dear lord was it violent and graphic. I thought the violence, for the most part, added to the story, but I thought the way the sex scene was filmed was really unnecessary and over the top. Probably the only scene in the movie I didn't like.
