Watchmen Options

so watchmen, who wants to see it?
it comes out in 2009.

"In a gritty and alternate 1985 the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown, but after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered an investigation into the killer is initiated. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot." Written by Evan Murphy.

One of the best (if not the best) graphic novels ever written. I just read an article in EW and the director is really keen (and quite obsessed) with being faithful to the novel.

I'm going to watch this and try to withold too harsh of criticism, which is difficult because as a fairly avid comic book/graphic novel reader, I tend to judge film adaptations harshly. Iron Man certainly proved worthy and from what I've read and heard, Dark Knight has as well.

Be warned though, if you are not familiar with storyline, it isn't your typical Superman fights crime and wins type theme. It's very dark, very twisty.

obsessed is always good especially when a movie is created from a popular book or remade from another movie. Always good when the director wants to do better and capture the true essence of the story. Kinda upset Iron man made movie of the year with Dark knight in 3rd place. talk about pissed.
anyway i so gotta get my hands on the novel. When 300 came out i purchased the novel... and boy that shits HUGE thin but pretty damn big for a book. Same with Sin city... (7 in the whole set) Hopefully i can get into Watchmen
