Currently has a whopping 30 metascore over at metacritic.com based on five reviews:
Watchmen (2009): Reviews
Five reviews ain't a lot, but they include The New Yorker, Hollywood Reporter, and Variety, who tend to be trendsetters for all of those smartass reviewers who got into the business for the sheer joy of trashing other people's work.
In general, the buzz seems to be that it will be deemed impossible to appreciate by anyone who isn't a fan of the graphic novel.
