it will pale in comparison to the source material like every hipster faggot who says "the book was better than the movie" but it will still probably be pretty damn good

Alan Moore is a brilliant but bitter individual. Personally I appreciated both the V for Vendetta comic and movie. Yes they were different, yes the movie was more simplistic and a bit preachy, but they were both interesting. Alan Moore just can't seem to bring himself to like anyone's adaptations of his works but his own. As a creative mind myself, I sympathize, but I don't agree.

He'll never accept the movie versions of his work and there will be many who think the same as he does, but I still think the movie has a lot of potential, and judging by the trailer they seem to be sticking very close to the original plot. I'm all for it.

I think it looks fucking amazing. And Zack Snyder is a fucking great director.

I have the "graphic novel" (its a comic!!!), but I haven't read it yet as my bro bought it for me a while back and I haven't had th time to read it. Is it any good?

costumes look stupid save for rorschach and comedian. seems kind of like a joel schumacher redoing the bat suit kind of move.
oh, that and no ponchy night owl? booo.
i guess there's going to be a black freighter part of the movie but it's not going to be in the actual film but it will be on the dvd or so i hear.

I am in the middle of reading it myself for the first time (how does a comic geek like me reach age 30+ before reading WATCHMEN?)

It is one of the best reads I've ever experienced. It is worth every hyperbolic word I've ever heard about it.

>Is it any good?

HELL YES!

the costumes are based on the original designs.

apparently he told david hayter his adaptation was the closest it was gonna get when it came to a movie, so I think he may have liked the screenplay although he might just be saying it'll never make a good movie.

I don't think it can be as good as the novel simply because I don't see how they can adapt it to the big screen and keep the meaning. Watchmen had so many angles from so many different characters that a movie of it would be jumbled as all hell trying to keep up. If they streamline and simplify it, which I am sure they will, they will likely loose much of the humanity in it and it'll become more of an action movie than a comment on humanity.

Really, I think Dr. Manhattan's costume looks JUST like the comics.

It will be worth it for Rorshach alone. The prison scenes, the shrink, the break out. I just want
"Im not locked up in here with you. YOUR locked up in here with me" to be a scene that makes the audience scream.

I'm looking forward to it, but this makes me worried: "The catastrophic climax is different." (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20213273_5,00.html)

FUCK. If they changed the ending because of 9/11, I'll be pissed.

The book was an overrated, overly-verbose piece of shit. If anything could use some editing, it's Watchmen. It also suffered from being terribly ugly, which the movie seems to be fixing as well. Don't defend it with the "THAT WAS A STYLISTIC CHOICE" excuse, it was just ugly as shit.

To the people complaining that it's going to be edited down, are you seriously sad that we don't get pages upon pages of Dr. Manhattan being an emo faggot in the movie? Or the interesting conceptually but horribly boring in practice excerpts from the pirate comic?

Jesus christ. It was "revolutionary" in the way that it humanized superheroes, but that's all it should be remembered for. Alan Moore did a lot of great things, but Watchmen was not one of them.

Less than 0 for not even spelling "commentary" right.

Yeah, I know what social commentary is. Too bad it doesn't have to be painfully boring and go on for ages without any real point.
