Alright, so I've seen the trailer for the movie, heard a lot about the book, and am deciding whether or not to pick it up. I've heard good things about it, but not enough to convince me to pick it up, and I wanna see the movie, but don't wanna see it without knowing nothing about the book, so give me some opinions, worthy of a pickup or no?

I'd also like to know. The movie looks pretty interesting and with my recent interest in comics/graphic novels I'd love to know if the book is worth the money and time to read.

Yes. I was too iffy on whether or not I would like it. I'd heard excellent things but at that point only read Batman graphic novels so I wasn't sure if I was up for a change so to say. I bought it, and really enjoyed it and now I can't wait for the movie. Very well written and different from anything else I've ever read.

Even though it's a bit difficult to get in to at first, in the end it's one of the most important works in comic book history.
Anyone that likes to read, period, needs to read Watchmen at least once.

It's one of the deepest, most layered stories I've ever read. It's awesome (except for the boring pirate comic, IMO). A friend of mine picked it up and said it was the best graphic novel he ever read. It's totallly worth read, multiple times.

You know, it's referred to as "The Most Celebrated Graphic Novel of All Time" for a reason. Perhaps that should give you a hint on whether or not you should read it.

Just read it now so you can be cool and say you read it before the movie came out.
