Watchmen

I didn't see the trailer, but the graphic novel was incredible and so was Zack Snyder's other film from a graphic novel (300), 

I think the trailers are, so far, very much like watching Sin City:  it's frame-by-frame the same thing, which both makes me happy as hell and pisses me off at the same time.  I mean, when someone makes a movie of something, I would hope that they can look at making the movie more than just the same thing as the comic.  With Watchmen, however, I know that there's no way you can deviate much from the graphic novel...as it's damn near perfect.

"They changed the ending (**possible spoilers in article,** dunno), aka one of the single most essential parts of the story. So, IMO it could be totally bunk. I love Watchmen so i'll see it for sure either way, and still be super hyped. I just hope it can survive the change."

The movie looks awesome, and I think I could be happy even without "it". Depends on what they replaced "it" with. It would have been cool to see how they would have done it though, but oh well. I still have high hopes for the movie.

I recall seeing the trailer for this before The Dark Knight and at the time I was thinking "What lousy superhero wannabe movie is this?" Needless to say, I thought it looked pretty dull and wasn't impressed in the least. It turns out that makes me a bad person. Yay.

hahahahahhaha i can see that; without knowing anything of the graphic novel, it could be an absurd looking trailer... but... i think it looks amazing."

Maybe. ;) But yeah, for the record, I had no idea what it was. Maybe I'll end up thinking it's totally rad.

I would suggest finishing the comic before watching anymore trailers...You will probably enjoy the trailers more if you read the comic first. Personally I think the movie looks awesome.

My reaction to Watchmen news:

First trailer ---> Interest Piqued ----> Read book ----> Second trailer ---> came ----> Ecstatic

I'm not sure how i feel about the ending being changed, but if anyone has read the book, the ending is a humongous clusterfuck of psycho-psychiatric buttfuckery.


To put it in simple terms.

It's so squeaky clean...  I thought it was going to be layers of grime covered in rain Blade Runner style..

There was a bit.  It sets a mood.

I appreciate you guys not spoiling the ending for me, and I'm at chapter 4 right now. Rotten Tomatoes did an excellent feature that analyzed every frame from the two trailers. Here's a link to it if anyone's interested:

I have a question about the book but I'm not sure if it could be a spoiler so don't read on if you want to know as little about the book as possible...





Is the black freighter thing that comic within the comic about the end of the world?







END "SPOILER"

I'm disappointed of its casting. actress they chose for Laurie doesn't match,  and Comedian's voice oughta be more rough.

Here is the latest trailer in case anyone cares:

oh man that's fabulous. 

I'm still pissed about changing that line: "the world will shout save us. and i will whisper 'no'". it's so wrronnng. alan moore's a genius, why on earth would you try to improve it!?!?!? gah.

otherwise... Muse FTW

There's going to be ALOT changed in this movie guys.  I mean, you can tell that already.  If little things like Nite Owl not being fat piss you off, you might have a fit if you see this movie.

I have to admit, the moment in the trailer Nite Owl drops from the ship and the Muse kicks up, is fucking GLORIOUS kinds of awesome.  Then Nite Owls reaction to a certain something that happens to a certain character...  It's going to be good.
