I mean, the trailer for Basic Instinct 2 was awesome! Plus, i expct the trailer is designed as much for younger kids who have never read Watchmen, to draw them in. So I'm willing to give the flick a chance at this point. Alan Moore has already distanced himself from the movie, but he's done that with all of his work turned to film.The Film Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080767812254265614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455980.post-55804115961427331792008-07-26T07:12:00.000-04:002008-07-26T07:12:00.000-04:00the trailer sucks - looks just like any other supe...the trailer sucks - looks just like any other superhero movie. i mean cool special effects are nice and all - don't get me wrong - but that's not what watchmen is about. it's so overblown and operatic. if that music (billy corgan??) is anything to go by we should expect the worst. <BR/><BR/>and where's the pirate scenes? that's crucial to the structure and crystal -like narrative of the story. the original is a piece of literature - this looks like a x-men film with a bit more angst.<BR/><BR/>the director can say that its just a movie but that's just his way of getting out of the shitstorm thats coming his way from moore fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
