Since I saw the trailer for that film, the anticipation for it has just about taken over my life...
It's now my desktop wallpaper, I have the Smashing Pumpkins song from the trailer, and I picked up the Graphic Novel and am about halfway through now.
So is anyone out there just as excited?

Eh, maybe. I'm terrified they won't do the novel justice.

From what I understand they pretty much copied and pasted the comic and then filmed it. So if the comic is great then the movie should be too.

Like I said, I'm only about half way through but I would highly reccomend it. Moore is a powerful writer.

Regarding doing the book justice, apparently in the past 20 or so years they've been trying to make this film the current script is the one that is most faithfull to the original novel. Based on director Zack Snyder's method of shooting 300 (which was the old cut and paste to the screen method, so highly publicised) I'm hoping that we have nothing to worry about. I've picked up on a lot of the shots from the trailer that I've read in the book already.
So yeah, have no fear ^_^

No.

And this is coming from someone who hasnt read the comic. The trailers and all the other hub bub hasnt interested me. It looks kinda cheesy.

I just bought it off Amazon and they said it'll take about 1-3 months to ship :|

That's probably because it's #3 in sale atm.

I haven't read the book, but the trailer in front of The Dark Knight got me excited.  My brother bought the book recently, so hopefully soon I can get around to reading it.
