The movie I've been waiting for since I was 18....

[The Hypno-Toad]

If your a fan of the comic book you will know just how true to it this looks like it will be. (dons anorak)

Dr Manhatten, Rorschach, Silk Spectre, Comedian, The Silhouette,Ozymandias all look perfect. Nite Owl however, looks like a cheap Batman rip off. (which I suppose in a way he always was.). Some of the scenes are exactly as they were in the book and there are hints that the adult themes of some of the story have been kept.

Please let this be as good as the trailer. (removes anorak.)

I know some of you won't get this but I have been a fan of this graphic novel since 1988. Do yourself a favour and get your hands on a copy. Comics aren't just for kids. Honest.

Trailer looks good. And, was that, basically, 'the end' I saw in there?

[wiz 1]

Looks

Smashing Pumpkins doing the music as well.

Comic book film adaptations are just getting better and better, I'm really looking forward to the Dark Knight.

Looks good.....but by the Director of 300...hmmm. Expect a st film that would have made a great music video.

Errr.....looked like it to me too. In fact if you know the comic two major spoilers in that trailer alone. But if you don't, you won't and I'm not telling.

Not that it would be hard to go read the 'comic' in time.

If you didn't get it from "Dr Manhatten, Rorschach", it probably won't mean much to you.

It's WATCHMEN.

[Muntu]

Is that the twin towers at 0:35 ?

[A4_Family_Man]

Read the graphic novel 20 years ago at Uni.

Fantastic story/artwork - one of the best graphic novels I have read (not that I've read that many!)

Looking forward to this film v. much.

I think so....

Yep but then again its set in 1985. However its not quite 1985 as you might know it.....

[ScuttleRX]

That trailer looked great, I somehow have never heard of the Watchmen...!

With all this talk of endings being shown will it be better to just wait for the film rather than hit Wikipedia or get a copy of the graphic novel....

Just buy the novel. It really is rather good.

[Neil_H]

That looks quality, still have the novel somewhere

[Witchfinder]

It looks fab. Apparently they intend to keep the ending the same as the graphic novel too.
