Personal respect for its creator isn't the only reason not to see Watchmen. There are aesthetic grounds aplenty. The book doesn't lend itself particularly well to film.

But we see no reason that this mindset cannot change with the environmental one. First, critics overestimate the problem of winter. Montreal, with a much colder and snowier climate than ours, is one of North America’s most bike-friendly cities, and its Vélo Québec was the first bike-sharing program on the continent...
