Who watches the Watchmen

"I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat." - JOB chapter 30, verses 29-30

"Until we transform our mere sightings into genuine visions; until our ear is mature enough to order a symphony from the shrill pandemonium of the aviary; until then we may have a hobby, but we shall not have a passion." - Alan Moore

Will the Watchmen film stand up to Alan Moore's original story? I hear he has already expressed discontent with the adaptation, but what artist is content when they sell their work, and someone else is allowed to "adapt" it?

Earlier today I saw Watchmen graffiti in the bathroom of a convenience store in Brenham, Texas, very ominous.
