I actually saw this movie last year by chance. It's not too bad, and did offer up some amusement, but I wouldn't call it a block buster. It was cool enough to keep me watching it but not so much for it to be too memorable, but I don't mind that.
Funny enough, unlike yourself, I enjoy movies that are quite deep and riddled with meaningful dialogue. Subplot is another plus, as are plot twists. Sex scenes I couldn't give less of a shit about though.
Another thing I really enjoy in movies is a sense of 'epic' I love movies that can make your hair stand on end (sometimes a well executed plot twist can do this. Unfortunately you don't normally see deep and epic go hand in hand. Epic movies (like 300 for instance) generally lack a deep plot or meaningful dialogue but make up for it in well directed action. However every now and then there is a movie that can do both, sort of a balance between them.
That's one of the reasons that I liked Watchmen for instance. The action was there, but so was some of the meaningful dialogue and deep concepts. Not necessarily a lot, but there was still some. And even though I could see the plot twist from a mile away (which I normally do anyway) I could still appreciate it and enjoy it cause it felt well executed and had a sense of epicness in its revealing.
