Watchmen Trailer

[Saskwach]

I've never read the comic, but this should be good. I know a little bit about them already so I won't exactly be in the dark.

Seriously, just get out of my sight. And to think you believe yourself the rightful President of The Escapist.
Re: Trailer: Awesome. It's like they just made the whole comic real life which is the only thing I would accept.

Just saw it in the previews before The Dark Knight. It looked fantastic-- even though I've never heard of the comic before.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Who's betting there'll be a 'graphic novel of the movie' about 60 pages long for $25?

*cynicism*

See, this is why I'm not running. That, and well all know that in every nation, except of the US of course, the Prime Minister is more powerful then the President. Wait a minute...

Anyways, I'm in the same boat as PurpleRain; it looks like an awesome movie, but I've never read the graphic novels. Still, I'll definitely try and see the movie.

NO. Go and read the comic NOW, before you ruin a real masterpiece for what will, no matter the faithfulness of the adaptation, never compare.

 

[Ultrajoe]

Oh, this is looking nice.

Guide to those who have read the 'comic': See it as something entirely separate from the novel, a new story with your favorite characters, and realize it does not affect your beloved (and mine) graphic novel in the slightest.

We will always have those wonderful pages, the movie is just icing on the cake, so we can enjoy it no matter what it differs in.

Alright, alright. I'll see if I can find it.

and did it work?

 

[Xhumed]

Yeah, it worked, was able to enjoy it for what it was. Plus: Peter Stromare was excellent as Lucifer

He has a certain quality about him... oh right, the ultimate veil.

Just kidding.

trailer looks great im a huge fan of watchmen. I hope the movie captures everything thats inportant about the story. theres alot to sqeeuze into a few hours. i just hope they dont try to trun night owl into a badass cause his weakness is one of the biggest plot points.

 

[Spinwhiz]

I'm really looking forward to this!

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Too much Slo-Mo in the trailer, not promising.

 

[Tanthalos]

Well I honestly believe the movie is going to try to push all the political stuff way too much so the trailer doesn't excite me BUT anyone know what that song is that they use for most of the trailer? I have watched the trailer 4 times now just to listen to it.

Thank you. Though a part of me just died inside for liking a song by a group that I ran from scremaing for my entire life.

You really don't want to hear it came from the "Batman and Robin" soundtrack then?

 

[meatloaf231]

Squeeee!

 

[RufusMcLaser]

I'm ambivalent. On one hand, the trailer is pretty crappy. On the other hand, nearly every scene in the trailer is a near-perfect shot from the comic. (Sin City, anyone?) As a fan, I react to the blinding awesomeness of Doctor Manhattan, the Comedian, Rorschach, etc. being recreated so faithfully with a nerdgasm. (Rorschach's "face" had authentic moving blotches... Did you notice?)

On the other hand, I've always felt, deep down, that no movie can ever do Watchmen justice. It's like asking McDonalds to package a five-star, seven-course meal in a Happy Meal.

Did I mention Watchmen is the best graphic novel ever? Thought so the first time I read it, still think so today.
