I can see where your Girlfriend was coming from. I think some of the promotional materials (particularly the posters and cardboard cutouts in the cinemas, at Easons etc) were a little misleading. They had that whole look of "Action packed Superhero Extravagaza!", which (for me at least) wasn't what Watchmen was about. I think some people not familiar with the source material ended up bored and confused, while others were surprised by the depth and complexity of the story.

You hit the nail on the head right there my gf is smart enough but when complex things happen or things in comic book movies happen she generally doesn't get it.She was bored and confused throughout Watchmen and I really enjoyed it.At the end I told her what the movie was about paralleling our reality with what could have happened *her face it was blank*.In TF ROTF she didn't understand why the Autobots wanted the matrix of leadership and other parts moved fast like the seekers she didn't know why they were on earth and how they got to earth I started to explain it but I read the comics so I know a little more and when someone hasn't read the comics some parts aren't filled in like the fallen and the nemisis.
