The movie better be as awesome as the trailer.

The 300-esque slowmo-fastforward-slowmo cinematography annoys me at times though.

This movie has been on-again / off-again for so long I was REALLY worried.

Now that I've seen the trailer I know three things:

1) They definitely got the visuals right
2) They've definitely got the mood right (esp. Rorhshach's voice)
3) I have high hopes.

The same as me. Nothing like seeing it on HD
They got the "Watchmen feeling" quite well... let's see how the movie is.
And the "slow-motion" version of that Smashing Pumpkins song is cool too.

You mean you still practice teleportation? How quaint! Now, if you got yourself a decent forklift truck...

2 movies, one average Zombie film the remake of Dawn of the Dead and a film based on a graphic novel who's visuals he adhered to, that being 300, and suddenly Zach Snyder is a 'Visionary Director' Hollywood makes me smile !

This looks like it could be a good movie though.
I see the talkback on sites like AICN have already got their CGI bashers out with comments like 'Crappy CGI and more hyper-reality bull****' and ' There is so much CGI that this **** looks more fake then the freaking comic book' Not too sure how they can tell this from such a short trailer ! Not really sure how else you would handle a character like Doctor Manhattan but I'm sure a guy painted blue would look pretty naff !

Anyway we'll wait and see but hopefully it'll be cool !!!

Looks faithful to the comics, but then the comics were 12 issues of painful drudgery that made me want to kill myself, so I'll probably give this one a miss.

Its a shame that on occasions where they make a movie out of source material written by Alan D Moore, he wants absolutley nothing to do with it to the point where he complains about it.

Kinda snobby i think
