What's the difference between a comic book and a "graphic novel"?

What's the difference between a comic book and a "graphic novel"? 

I always assumed that "graphic novels" were longer, but I dunno.

Wasn't familiar with Watchmen before I saw the movie, but I caught on pretty quickly and enjoyed it.  It's a fun action/mystery type movie...nothing more, nothing less.

[WillieWannabe]

I've heard so many different opinions on this, i will prally rent it on netflix or something...

Graphic Novels can be longer, similar to a true "novel" or a collection of comic issues presented in one long format.

Lots of movies have been inspired by them. V for Vendetta, Road to Perdition, Dark Knight (inspired from), 30 Days of Night, Wanted, A History of Violence, Ghost World, Constantine, etc.

Uh, Dark Knight the movie wasn't at ALL similar to the GN.

I wish I could take back the night I read both the Dark Knight and Watchmen GNs...not for me, man, not for me.

The Watchmen movie was okay I guess. Entertaining, stylish. If you go to the IMAX version, though, be prepared to get assaulted by noise. To a painful point.

road to perdition?  I can totally see that now.  30 days of night could have been so much better.

Uh, there wasn't any one Dark Knight GN. It's story and style was inspired from a few different ones, even ones with "Dark Knight" in the title, but there wasn't a "Dark Knight" GN.

gosp- I loved the Road to Perdition film so I picked up the GN. It was one of the few that I have read. I liked the movie better. I've never seen 30 Days of Night.

[cireksu]

30 days of night is awful.  I love those types of movies, hated that one.

I never even heard of watchmen until the movie came out.

I hate overly loud crap, but I was thinking of going to the watchmen Imax.  Maybe I should just go to the regular version since I think the regular AMC already has the best sound I've ever heard in a theater. 

[FBWillie]

never been to AMC....   Is it better than the Warren theatres in Wichita?

AMC is a chain so no, not likely.

Which is the one where and old ballz Bruce Wayne beats up Superman and then fakes his own death at the end?

Horrible.

Dark Knight Returns, I believe? The Killing Joke supposedly inspired Dark Knight.
