Yes, yes, go see it. It is long (*too* long, I think, probably could have been cut by twenty minutes), but it's interesting.
I read the comic several years ago and had managed to pretty much entirely forget what happened (reflection on my retention skills or on the strength of the story--you be the judge). I vaguely remembered who the bad guy was, but that was it (1).
(1) But I do associate anyone interested in ancient Egypt with pure evil anyway--all the fault of Young Indiana Jones and a Tintin comic that SCARRED ME FOR LIFE. Also, pulling people's brains out through their noses (yeah, I know they were already dead, but I need my brain! And my nose!) and sending dead slaves into the afterlife with their king. I don't want to go serve my boss in the afterlife! I don't even like doing what he says now.
Um, tangent.
I've forgotten what I meant to say about Watchmen now.
