The Watchmen
 

Ok so I'm sure those who saw the previews before The Dark Knight know what this is about or even those who have read the comic or know of it, it's coming out next year apparently but I really want to see this.

looks alright...althoigh I don't think many people are going to take it as seriously as it seems to.

A couple of issues that I have with this movie:

• I still have yet to read the graphic novel. I refuse to see the movie until I read the graphic novel in its entirety.
• I'm slightly offput by what appears to be a CGI orgy; I envision Watchmen to be a bit more dark and gritty, not completely CGI-enhanced.
• On top of that, the CGI looks like silly.

Most of the stuff in that book couldn't be anything but CGI...Dr. Manhattan would look really, really stupid if he was just a guy painted blue, but they seem to have done really good job on him with CGI.

I pretty much died and went to heaven when I saw the trailer - as if I needed to be even more pumped before watching Dark Knight. It looks like they visually captured the book PERFECTLY. They didnt really show off much else, but the visuals couldn't be better, and Rorschach's voice was dead on.

The only thing that I dont like so far - and I've been saying this ever since they released the casting - is that the guy playing Ozymandias looks like a pussy. I'm sure he must be a great actor for the part or else Snyder wouldn't have cast him, but man...Veidt is an Olympic caliber athlete. This guy looks like a strong breeze would take him out.

I definately do NOT know a site that may be posting it for free soon.
I just got the lesbian librarian to order it at the library for me. :D

as for this trailer. If you've read the graphic novel, you know how spot on and perfect the trailer looks. The movie sure as hell better live up to the epicness of the trailer or a lot of people are gonna be pissed.

Cover and big article about this in this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Are you as confused as I am by Matthew Goode as Veidt?

he looks intelligent enough. i couldn't care less. for a while Tom Cruise was rumored to have the part.

Hate to say it, but he'd be perfect.

Pompous as Hell but full of charisma, pretty built/attractive, super-famous, has been known to be a very good actor (though we haven't seen any proof in years)...heck, he already IS Ozymandias.

Jude Law would have been a great choice as well...

But in all honesty, I have total faith in Snyder + co. Even though he looks wimpy, he HAS to be perfect...I know it in my heart of hearts, haha.
