COOL STUFF

It is official, this movie looks just as good maybe better than The Dark Knight.

Looks good. I can't wait for this movie. I w ill be seeing this open day

Fox better not f*ck this movie up, it would be a total travesty.

I'm going to have to agree with Alex and everyone who posted already.

it will hopefully be a good movie but it won't be groundbreaking in any way, shape or form. I think it will be next years Speed Racer, a film which i (and alot of people) loved that tried new things and had a great look, but was quickly out of cinemas left to history.

Awesomeness. #8 The "fuss" with Alan Moore is that he's had his work fucked up by Hollywood on so many occasions prior to this that he has no faith in the movie business. I understand that and surely thats his right. But I sincerely hope Zack Snyder will buck the trend with this one.

Funny that , last time I looked myspace belongs to fox

Ozmondious still irks me in casting. On the flipside, Rocharch's mask is awesome

I wonder if they'll keep the Doomsday Clock in it. Seems appropriate, since they kept it in the '80's.

Now it looks amazing.

Wow. I love everything about this movie except for Malin Akerman. Poor casting choice there. But nonetheless.....Wow. It just keeps looking better.

#9 you couldn't be more wrong. This will be groundbreaking in that it will give the general public a new way of seeing superheroes and heroes in general. Ever since I have read the novel I see superheroes in a new light. Dark Knight somewhat helped with that a bit, but Watchmen brings it to a whole new level. And also it is such a great story and so involved that people will be affected just by the story and characters alone. Best movie of 09'

all i can say is fuck you fox and fuck you tim rothman or w/e your faggot ass name is

the movie looks fantastic but seriously the graphic novel was so fuckingboring it was was talking talking and more talking the

Number 27 for what you have just written, you do not even deserve to see the film adaptation of Watchmen. Do you not think this is going to be a lot of scenes of just talking in rooms? That's how the story is portrayed....

Re: No.8-The "fuss" with Alan Moore- Besides his stories getting messed in movie (LoEG? Travesty!)form, he is one of the literary geniuses of the 20th Century. He went the comic book/graphic novel route to get his ideas out there, because (I guess) it may have been easier than getting a book published--maybe paid more-- and he's loved comic books since he was a kid, among other reasons. Read Watchmen. It's not just another "comic book." If you don't get Alan Moore then, you won't ever (like #27, who I think should restrict himself to early 90's Image comics. Oops! There's some Alan Moore there, too). If the movie just touches most/some of the ideas in the gn, it'll be amazing, whether it's a box office success or not.

This is awesome. Does anyone know if this will be on itunes fro free like the comic-con footage?

Dear God! It looks almost exactly like the comic! I say we boycott Fox if they fuck this up! ... anyone with me?

All the trailers have had a heavy emphasis on the action scenes, then again, which trailer doesn't. I'm also tired of the slow-motion effects which seem to be plaguing the trailers and was one of the most annoying parts of 300. Also, why are they calling Zack Snyder a "visionary director"? Adapting panel for panel of a comic book (300) or remaking a movie is not "visionary", even if he pulls of Watchmen with the panel for panel approach it still isn't going to make him a "visionary".

NUMBER 37 APOKE MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY GOD DAMNIT

My only complain is Dr. Manhattan's voice. I think they shoul've done something with it like Xerxes on 300. Maybe it'll grow on me

I just completed reading watchmen graphic novel and i cant see anything new or groundbreaking. may be it was when it was published. the movie also will be quickly forgotten like speed racer. Like #40 said,"The concept of the "realistic" or dysfunctional superhero is no longer new, even on the screen". Also the fear of cold war is so old now. I have but a little hope pinned on the fact that they changed the ending.otherwise it was very depressing.

I agree with #30. At best, The Watchmen will be regarded as a great, even superb, adaptation of its legendary source material. It will be known for its Sin City/300-esque faithfulness. But unlike TDK, I don't think The Watchmen will be able to claim to be as a brilliant movie on its own, with its own story. It definitely won't be considered visionary. Doesn't mean that Watchmen won't be cooler than The Dark Knight, or that I won't like it more than TDK. #43- Cold War fears are old now? Russian invasion of Georgia, secret alliances with Syria, buddying up to Venezuela. My friend, they're just only restarting.

Well, 46, at least Identity Crisis was published by the same company as Watchmen.

zack snyder has balls of steel

In my opinion they already did seroius damage to what could have been a incredible movie in more ways then one. If you have a problem with my opinion just don't swear at me. I know comic book movies so far have been brilliant no less but these recent ones such as "The Spirit" and "Watchman" dampered this image by adding unessesary things of which language and sexuality that can be avoided while still maintaining the essense of a comic book. To be fair take the movie "The Dark Knight" which is PG-13 for violence and menace but had almost no sexuality (two kissing scenes that it) and very little language (less 20 altogether) and outdid all the movies of 2008 (check the record books). So why add things you don't need to still get the point across, without nudity almost half the movies of 2008 would have been PG-13 and better maintined. Finally one the plus for Watchmen I DO like the trailers. But to be honest allot of comic book movie adaptations will be hard pressed to match Christopher Nolan's batman movie reboots let alone Marvels upcoming movies. I will comend DC comics for it artistic feat. Still a better movie doesn't need the whole extra baggage.

Holy crap, i didn't know "Solid Snake" was a script writer. HAHA awesome!!

to #54 - Hurman hey there pal, i didnt say in the GN the voice was not changed, only stated that in the trailer all we hear is Osterman's voice but stripped any emotion that defines our "voice" as "our own" and "human". on the contrary , no i did not miss al those blue tinted word balloons just wanted to say that those blue tints/highlights may not indicate an inhumanly voice. it may be interpreted that the bluish word balloons in the GN was to reflect his aura and not a godly voice, we here all around us as Dr. Manhattan speaks. a human speaking in a way stripped of any emotions (as he himself states he no longer sees himself as a human and doesnt relate himself to humanly matters) is disturbing, irritating and alien enough for any street level human hence such are dubbed as "freaks" even amongst today's people too. and about the Brucheimer-Batmanish Ozzy costume you are right all the way and one final statement; i still believe Watchmen as written by Alan Moore is not filmable. because it deals with so many hard-conversations and sub plots etc it should be at least twelve episoed TV series at best but what we will see in the theatres soon should be satisfying. cause no comic or novel could be adapted truly true the the original. always something should be left out or tweaked a bit to fit the screen, to make it filmable and understandable by the most of the movie goers and not only the hard core fans. and we can only judge the film whether its true to the original source or not only by the least amount of things left out and tweaked. so to sum up i believe we will see a great movie experience. but to see if it will satisfy our expectations we will have to see the whole pic whatever the outcome; let us all enjoy those movies at most and expect even greater better movies, adaptations original ones in the coming days and increased in both quantity and quality. cheers, burak
