I did not realize...
that Watchmen, the graphic novel soon to be turned movie, is not only one of the most anticipated movies of 2009 but is considered one of the greatest pieces of literature over the past 75 years. Like most people, my first experience with Watchmen was the trailer that premiered before The Dark Knight. Needless to say I was blown away. While I found 300, director Zach Snyder's breakout feature film, a bit over the top it still was visually stunning and overall entertaining. With his ambitious task of re-creating the Watchmen world, a movie people said could never be made, I feel Warner Brothers has put the right man in charge. The few minutes the trailer provided me of Zach Snyder's vision of the graphic novel definitely has me thinking this movie could easily surpass Sin City as the best graphic novel adaptation. The trailer has inspired me to research these strange, mysterious "heroes" and is only getting me more pumped. Be wary fellow Watchmen fans, over the past week there have been rumblings that a court ruling could put the movie on hold; pushing the opening weekend past the scheduled March 6th, 2009 opening. Would be a shame to miss this date, 03.06.09...the same numbers on 3 points of a watch, man.
