The movie is RATED R, its a movie based on a completely ADULT graphic model, if you think this is a movie for kids, then frankly you are an imbecile.
No, I think you misunderstood. I didn’t say anything about thinking this is a movie for kids, I said I was (and am) unfamiliar with the graphic novel and the previews for this movie make it seem like it’s in the theme of a regular superhero movie. I’m not an imbecile, just ignorant of the graphic novel and its story line. I think many people - adults and kids alike - are unaware of the adult nature of it and there’ll probably be some kind of backlash at the way the TV commercials portray it.
With all due respect, anyone who thinks that millions and millions and millions of children, preteens and young teens will not view "The Watchmen", in the coming years, would, by many responsible adults, be described as unstable.
Adults who frequent such garbage, in the name of being a "free" adult, are contributing to the very serious decline of this nation and other nations........... As we all become more and more desensitized to the vulgar, violent, hedonistic society we are becoming, we invite the chains that encircle us and choke out our real freedoms.
Kinda like the much overweight man who has just eaten another huge meal, and, lying on the ground, expects to be able to jump up and defeat the well trained, agile, physically fit enemy.
We are inviting our ultimate defeat, as a free nation..............
"Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness.Get control of all means of publicity and thereby: Get the peoples' mind off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. Destroy the peoples faith in their natural leaders by holding up the latter to ridicule, contempt and obloquy. Always preach true democracy but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. Encourage government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear with rising prices, inflation and general discontent. Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a soft and lenient attitude on the part of government towards such disorders. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population defenseless." Vladimir Ilich Lenin
The purposeful moral decline of a just society is one of the key factors in facilitating it's end.

The ads don’t really make it clear that the movie isn’t all that different from Xmen. It is being marketed as just another blockbuster superhero movie.
