As for reflecting irony in a trailer, I'd imagine that would be impossible with the time contraints. The entire depth of this story would be impossible to relay in a trailer. But in the end, I'd love for those who have not read the book to go into this movie with the preconceptions shown here, and then see your reaction afterward. I think it will be interesting. And besides, if given the vhoice, I always prefer to watch the movie first and then read the book. As movies can spoil beloved books, but books rarely spoil beloved movies, they simply make the experience grander. Looking at the reactions, I can see this movie getting wildly conflicted reviews. Watchmen is a deconstruction of traditional comic universes, and in movie for a deconstructions of the comic book movie. Looking at the trailers, I think Snyder has hit the nail on the head, but in doing so he is expecting his audience to be intimatelyfamiliar with comic book themes and schemas. I think snyder's challenge will be to create a fun movie for those looking for a comic movie, and a thoughtful piece for those looking to see a reflection of Alan Moore's critically best work (personally, I still hold his Swamp Thing run in higher regard even if it's less unique). As for Xena, her look is the point, but I'll let you discover than for yourself. If you think those costumes look silly, wait until you see the one's from the flashbacks... |

I think it's time to add the caveat that my impressions of the trailer do not mean I won't give the movie a chance. I just wanted to give the impressions of someone who knows nothing about Watchmen.

Re: New Watchmen Trailer
The one concern I do have is that the film looks somewhat... unfinished. I know that there is still a lot of time between now and Watchmen's release, but the TRAILER shouldn't look unfinished. And Billy Crudup's voice needs some effects on it. It just doesn't look or sound right coming from a being of pure energy.

Re: New Watchmen Trailer
I hope the movie is shot mostly in slow motion and misses blatant context from the original work.

Re: New Watchmen Trailer
Honestly, just gotta say, WTF Nite Owl's cape? It very explicitly detailed why his cape narrowed toward the bottom (aside from looking awesomely like an Owl) in the novel (hint: it involves revolving doors and bullets).

Well for those who haven't read the comics or looking for an interesting experiment.

Re: New Watchmen Trailer
After watching trailer again I have to say it loooks awesome except for two things. At least in my opinion.
As Prof said, Dr. Manhattan's voice needs to be altered. And Silk Spectre needs and older actress |
Re: New Watchmen Trailer
Thanks for the youtube Earl. My GF has been trying to get me into Watchmen. She LOVES the comic. Guess I can finally join the party.
