I don't think the term watchmen was ever used in the movie, there was a band of masked crimefighters that appeared to be called the Minutemen.

Even though I still think it's important that the title doesn't include "the" because it gets people thinking about the concept of what a watchmen is and may represent, I should have shown some restraint with the compulsive nitpicking, I admit.

Oh my god, the excitement is mounting. I just read this book for the first time over the last 3 days and I can't wait for the movie.

This book is on my long "to read" list. I can't decide whether to put off seeing the movie until I've read it.
Normally I would always read a book before seeing the film, but it could be months until I get my hands on it.

I impulse purchased this at Barnes and Nobles on Sunday, probably took about 5-6 hours to read. I suggest you read it first, but I'll know more after seeing it.

(Very small sample, though.)

The movie was awesome. The book was pretty good. It's been number one on Amazon for books for a couple days now, managing to surpass the dozen or so Twilight books in the top 25.
