Anyone looking forward to the "Watchmen" movie? Or a fan of the original graphic novel? Or have a contrary opinion?

I'm reading about how "Watchmen" is the greatest graphic novel ever and the movie is either great or sucky depending on the review.

But I'd never even heard of the book before now, guess I'm just oblivious? I liked the original "Heavy Metal" magazine when in college, but otherwise have never been into graphic novels or comic books, after age 10 that is. I went to the bookstore to buy the original "Watchmen" book, then got distracted by a nubile series called "Empower". But I didn't buy either - have a hard time paying "real book" prices for a comic book.
