I don't think so, it is totally deserving of the praise it gets.

I dont think its as good as V for Vendetta.

I think it deserves the praise. I don't really remember the humor though. What I remember is the metaphorical depth. I love the layers it adds. Usually I wouldn't like the artistic style, but the way it's used with the story  and the nature of each image shown gives it so much more meaning . 

The Watchmen is epic and I love it, but I have always heard that Moore's mission statment for the book was the idea that you shouldn't trust superheroes to save you. The story was created to deconstruct superheroes, and in that is where he failed, because in the context of the story heroes were banned and nobody wanted them.

Not at all.

Something that's overrated in my eyes, is something that doesn't hold up very well. Take Twilight for example, both the books and movies are totally overrated, is it gonna hold up well in the future, no. No ones gonna remember that piece of shit franchise. But things like the Watchmen are remembered because it changed comics, it took "heros" more seriously, their treated more like human beings. And it has many themes that are still relevant in today's society. The fact that it's still remembered today means something.

No it's not overrated. Can people stop claiming that things are overrated because they don't like them? Thxs

One of the reasons Watchmen is so acclaimed is because of the impact it had on the comics medium as a whole
