No, the book is awful, the film will probably be really good.

See From Hell and V for vendetta for precedent. Alan Moore, shit book - great film.

Really? I always thought Alan Moore was supposed to be some kind of god when it came to the graphic novels. I know V for Vendetta split the fanbase but as a newbie I really enjoyed it.

I find Moore to be both desperately mediocre and almost unreadably pretentious and nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is

Yeah, I think you should. Alan Moore is easily one of the most recognised writers in the comics medium, and Watchmen is often held up as his masterpiece.

I'd recommend checking it out before seeing the film.
