Who watches the Watchmen?

Patrick does, apparently.

Patrick went into the cinema expecting a post-modernist masterpiece, and all he got was a nearly frame-by-frame translation of the comic, with huge chunks of the dialogue reproduced without the nitty gritty realistic feel. Patrick also wonders y the soundtrack is only effective with two songs - "The Times They Are A-Changing" and "Sound of Silence" with Hendrix's "Watchtower" all too obvious. Patrick also finds the voice-over narration extremely irritating, with that same gruff growly hoarse voice like the recent Batman.

Patrick also can't identify with any of the characters, at least in the comics, Dan Dreiberg was a pretty sympathetic character. Patrick also feels sorry for those who haven't read the comics as they'd be lost within the first fifteen minutes. Patrick doesn't think much of the changed ending, even if he didn't like the ending in the comics that much either.

All in all, Patrick feels this is a pointless exercise, nothing new for the comics fans and those who haven't read it will have trouble taking in the minutiae of the proceedings.

P.S. In honour of Alan Moore, who likes to refer to himself as the third person.
