<p>For those not familiar with "Watchmen" it was a series of graphic novels that, considered as a whole, was the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine's 2005 list of "the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present."&nbsp; To say it's a classic is a vast understatement.</p><p>Doctor&nbsp;Manhattan looks FANTASTIC!!<br /><br />Link...(105 mb 720p Quicktime)<br /><br />Jezzzz.....graphic novel and comic flicks just keep on hammering the industry, don't they?<br /><br />Some stills....<br /><strong><br />Comedian (special ops)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Comedian1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><strong>Doctor Manhattan (god-like powers: teleportation, self-duplication, subatomic matter control etc. etc.)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Dr.Manhattan.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Dr.Manhattan2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Dr.Manhattan3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><strong>Nite-Owl II (took over from Nite-Owl on his retirement)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Nightowl2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><strong>Ozymandias (rich kid plays superhero: smart & ruthless)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Ozymandias.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><strong>Rorschach (Ayn Rand fan: top investigator & ruthless)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/Rorschach1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><strong>Silk Spectre I (mother: combat specialist)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/SilkSpectre1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /><strong>Silk Spectre II (daughter: combat specialist&nbsp;)</strong><br /><img src="http://digitalvideo.8m.net/watchmen/SilkSpectre2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Looks great, but I wouldn't have made the doc look so sickly (unless that's during his initial constitution..). &nbsp;It's too bad they didn't make it a two part film.. IIRC they cut the post-apocalyptic sidestory. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<p>The trailers theme music is Smashing Pumpkin's "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning", which IMO fits perfectly.</p><p>Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma&nbsp;etc.) has responded to the Watchmen trailer on his View Askew Productions forum. He's been a fan for a long time.</p><p>Link (bottom of the page).....</p><p><strong>Quote:</strong></p><p><span class="postbody">O. <br /><br /><br />M. <br /><br /><br />Motherf***in' <br /><br /><br />G. <br /><br />When I first read "The Watchmen" back in 1988, I never imagined I'd one day see a trailer that slavishly faithful to the source material. <br /><br />Holy. <br /><br />Christ. </span></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<p>I take it back.. Dr. Manhattan in the trailer isn't off by much at all, visualy. &nbsp;I pulled out the book, and the cross hatching and dark eyes match very well. &nbsp;</p><p>The 2008 comedian looks pretty wimpy though :) &nbsp;I guess they chose someone who could channel him well enough over someone who looked like him but couldn't act the part.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
