About time some1 mentioned watchmen tbh :D

I am a massive fan of the graphic novel (currently re-reading it and halfway trough it), and I am highly anticipating this movie. From what I have seen so far it will be amazing.

I am a bit worried about the ending of the movie though, which is said to have been altered, since the original supposedly didn't work as well in a movie. The ending in the graphic novel was brilliant and really worked well, so fingers crossed the new ending will work just as well ^^

Try and pick up the book before watching the movie, I am sure you will enjoy the movie even more once you discover all the matching things ;)

Yup the book is called watchmen (mind you it's a comic story spanning 12 issues), but it has been collected in both a paperback and hard cover version.
(I got my hard cover at Selexyz Donner.)

Hard Cover:


btw, Watchmen is the only Comic Book that is in the Time top 100 of books, so you can be assured it's a good read ;)

I still have hope it'll be all good. I read an interview with Zack Snyder where he said that the Hollywood execs involved said the ending of the graphic novel was too much of a downer and they needed a happy ending for the film. He apparently told them that if they forced a change of the style and feel of the ending of the novel onto the film he'd walk off the project. That being said, he did also say they had changed exactly what the thing that happened at the end of the film *was*, because they didnt feel the one in the book resonated as a fear with people today in the same way it had when the novel came out.

yeah, I was gonna mention the Fox thing. I strongly doubt it won't get released. One way or the other, WB has to release it to try and make back the cash spent during production. Even if that means they give a massive chunk of revenue to Fox and only end up breaking even, it's stil better than being severla hundred million in the red.

With the Warner Bros - Fox lawsuit settled, WB must have felt like having a little party and updated the official watchmen website.

Most of the trailers so far had little dialog in it, and this website contains a fair amount of dialog for all the main characters. Rorschachs bit is especially bliss to the watchmen fans.

Each of the character pages has a different backing track and I must say I am quite impressed with the score so far, it seems really fitting.

Anyways, enough of me talking, go and visit the official watchmen movie websiteto check it out for yourself! :D

Watched the first few, still need to check the rest.
Will check those out soon but would have been better I reckon when I would have bought them in a paperback or such. So far so good.
