Won't be out till 2009, but I'm interested to know what you think of the sneak peek, Rob.

Watchman

Think it captures the essence of the book, or misses the mark?
 
Just caught the trailer.

And I'm now getting excited.

I also have the severe hots for Silk Spectre. *drool*
 
Probably. ;)
Watched the trailer again.

It seems to me they've caught the oeuvre just right. The Comedian looks good. Dr. Manhattan looks inhuman enough. Ozymandias seems to have that too cool, too intelligent edge to him. Rorschach seems good, although his voice doesn't seem to be quite 'insane' enough. I think his madness should bleed through into his voice.

Night Owl and Silk Spectre are a little different from what I imagined but it seems to suit the movie.

I'll have to see. It will be The Comedian and Rorschach that will make or break the movie for me.

Favorite bit of dialog from the graphic novel.

Dr. Manhattan: The burnt out villages? The boys with necklaces of human ears? These are a joke?
The Comedian: Hey! I never said it was a good joke.

Brrr.
