There is no possible way anyone who had not read the source material had any idea what was going on.
Absolutely, 100%, dead on wrong.
My wife only knew what Watchmen was about from the one minute summary I gave her, and the trailers.
She absolutely loved it. She was quite surprised by the amount of sex, and had expected a fair amount more violence given the director. She described her experience watching the movie as nearly the fastest three hours she can remember.
It was refreshing to see a movie with some actual pace to it, not full-bore the entire time.
