Anyway, I've found that the best movies I've seen, the ones I personally rate the highest, are also the movies many of my friends absolutely abhorred. Watchmen is a great example - I fell in love with the movie, the visuals, the music (and the plot, though I had read the comics before). But many of my friends thought it was pointless and cliche and plain silly.
The way I see it, the truly valuable movies are those that leave no one indifferent. This is one of those movies - you will be hard pressed to find someone that saw it and said "meh, it was ok". You'll either love it or loathe it, and despite what some elitists might think, neither of those options means anything really.

Makes sense to me, I have some cases like that as well. One of my all-time favorites is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I have friends that thought it was a joke. And for what it's worth I loved Watchmen
