Coelacanth Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 They had better do the graphic novel justice....and if they don't there will be some serious fist shaking over here! http://watchmenmovie.warnerbros.com/ *What do ya think Frank?* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaderOnIce Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I didn't know you'd read the graphic novel, dude. I forgot to get back to your txt. I'll say this. I never thought a movie could be made from the comic without it looking cheesy, but the trailer does not make them look cheesy at all. Also, I never liked that Smashing Pumpkins song. But I do now. The only prob with this as a movie is how dense the source material is. Do you keep the pirate comic from the comic, or not? Stuff like that.

Guest etruscan Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Saw the trailer last night when seeing DK, and maaaaan, it looked intense. These special effects, hoooly moly.. they are getting pretty unbelievable. or believable ? in an unbelievable way ? As someone who hasnt read the comics ( yet ) .. what would you guys reccomend ? Hold off and read them after, or just go ahead ? I know its alot of material, but we have the whole graphic novel set here at work so i could burn through them pretty easily.. cant decide..

Crilix Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Okay, sign me up in the haven't-read-the-book-or-even-know-what-it's-really-about camp. But in my defense, I ordered it two weeks ago even before I knew the movie existed. Still hasn't arrived though, argh. Gotta say that the trailer really failed to impress me. Sure, it looks like it had all those shiny special effects and visuals of a blockbuster sci-fi flick. But really, it didn't give me any frickin' clue what was going on or who the people were. At this point, I'm not that interested at all - it looked more confusing than anything. And on an interesting note, the creator/author isn't interested in the movie either: http://io9.com/5026980/watchmen-creator-ignores-movie But I'll try and reserve any real firm judgment until I read the book. -Cril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
