Re: Watchmen
I love this comic book - was the second trade paperback I ever bought. It is huge in scope and demanding as a read. It deserves every award it ever got. It was the first Alan Moore piece I ever read.
I think the film will be glossy and shiny and make people think superheroes are just wackos. I wonder if it will ever get to the guts of what made the book such a meaningful read.
I'm also sad, very sad that there is no mention at all of Alan Moore in the trailer, the website or anywhere in the movie. I think that is at his request. He might be a curmudgeonly old bastard - but he deserves better.
His work deserves better.
