I also liked it.
I had read the book about 2 weeks ago so it'd be fresh in my mind, and it's surprisingly faithful for most things, especially the dialogue.
Even the shot's angles are great, they recreate the scenes exactly how they're supposed to be.
A few obvious things can't be put in the movie, such as the parallel comic book story read within Watchmen, Tales of the Black Freighter. There's simply no practical way to put that in a movie without making it incredibly awkward.
A few other things have been changed, but as a whole I feel like they took out the right parts to make it a good movie, without losing the best aspects of the book.
I was surprised by Jon's voice, I didn't really know what to expect though. I suppose maybe a less human, and less young voice.
I liked Rorschach a lot, he did a great job with it, and the Comedian was good as well.
The rest of the cast is okay, too. Veidt looked more impressive in the book as a person, but when the stunts came it finished convincing me that it was him. Maybe his face was a bit off, somehow.
Costume design was great too.

Overall, I recommend it, but of course, read the book, either before or after! It should be on everyone's must-read-list.
