Going to see it tonight
Like the title says, I'm going to see it tonight, I'll post my review of it here tomorrow sometime I think. I've not yet read the comic, but I do intend to read it once I've seen the movie.

Review (no spoilers)
Right, my review.
Like I said, I hadn't read the graphic novel, so I didn't know what it was about (aside from the general plot). I went in expecting something like "300", seeing as that was also a graphic novel filmed by Zack Snyder.
It was nothing like that.
It was better.
Yes, there's not that much action in this one, however, after seeing this, I have to say that more action isn't always a good thing. The balance was perfect I'd say, the story is very compelling, and the shots are all beautiful. It's got a dark gloomy and sometimes sadistic atmosphere, and I like that.
I've got my hands on the motion comic and on the graphic novel and I certainly intend to watch the motion comic, it's about 6 hours long, and I believe it is the entire graphic novel but animated and with a voice actor (yes, just one). And after that also read the novel.
So, in short, I recommend this to everyone who's not afraid of heavier, darker films, you'll enjoy it a great deal.

Watchmen as a saturday morning cartoon!
The title says it all, what would happen if they'd turn it into a Saturday morning cartoon?
I think something like this:

18?
It's 16 over here. But I agree, don't watch it with immature assholes (no matter their age), because that will probably ruin some parts.

I don't think a better movie could have been made (a 12 hour miniseries maybe).
Perhaps you should check out the motion comic. It's basically the entire comic animated (not like cartoon animated, but animated none the less) and with a voice actor (yes, just one). It's 12 chapters, like the comic, and takes about 6 hours to watch in its entirety.
