Have you read any of the reviews? That's not why it got bad press at all. It got bad press for the opposite reasons altogether. Because it is just a dumb, noisy, overly stylized movie and doesn't require you to use your brain at all.

It's big but it's not clever. A bit like Inception it's a film that will convince some of it's more suggestive viewers that they are basking in the work of great, great minds and giving their brain a workout.

Watchmen was atrocious. A textbook example of how not to make a movie. It bored me to tears. Great concepts, horrible execution.
