We read the comics when they came out, and we enjoyed the movie. We saw it with a friend who hadn't read the comics, and she also enjoyed it. I've spoken to a couple of other people who saw the movie without benefit of having read the printed version, and they enjoyed it.

YMMV, of course. Having a working brain and an attention span longer than the length of a TV commercial will help you get past most of the problems the critics seem to be having with it.
