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.

<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>
