anybody know if they are going to cut it down from the original 3 hours in length?

How can this movie be good when Alan Moore has no input in the film and the movie makers are approaching it like it's yet another Frank Miller graphic novel?

I can hardly wait. I just finished the book and it's now one of my favorites.
Doctor Manhatten = God

I really really REALLY want this movie to be good. Everybody, keep your fingers crossed.

Yeah, just like V for Vendetta. Moore's absence completely ruined that movie.

If you want to make a movie (like V) with characters, plot, and themes completely different from Moore's comic books, then no shit, you don't need Moore's involvement.


The marketing for Watchmen wants you to think that this is a proper adaptation of the comic. So yeah, you tell me how they're going to make a good adaptation of Moore's vision in a 2 and 1/2 hour movie without his input.

Luck? =P

Just because Moore is good a comics doesn't say anything for his movie making ability. Look at the Spirit.

I honestly don't care who's involved in this, the result will speak for itself.

Look at the spirit what? Last time I checked Will Esiner's dead and it's Frank Miller at the helm. How does that compare at all to the Watchmen?

I'm betting this movie'll be really great unless it isn't.

I can only recall one movie adaptation that was as good (if not better) than the original -- Shawshank Redemption. Not that that means much at'll but who cares if it lives up to the original. You get what you want from movies; look for the moments and hold onto 'em. Compare if you dare.

Also, Moore hates everything, by default.
