When it was announced that there would be a movie made of the
WATCHMEN graphic novel I had grave misgivings. How could one 2 hour movie contain the vast goodness of
Alan Moore's densely complex work? Would this one suffer the same fate as
other Moore properties when transitioned to film? I really didn't want another
LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMAN and I doubt anyone else did either. My fears also weren't eased any by
300 director
Zack Snyder getting the gig. While I considered 300 to be an awesome movie I readily admit that it was the definition of style over substance. But then I saw the trailer for
WATCHMEN and my unease has turned into giddy anticipation. If this film is as entertaining as the trailer promises then I can't wait until March 6, 2009.
