This is looking good. They're doing a better job with it then I had hoped for.

Fuck, I've watched it 4 times now, and it still makes me happy in the pants. The HD version even let me glean some details I couldn't see in the YouTube version, like the Veidt label on the can of hairspray Rorschach uses as a flamethrower and the way his mask moves. I want this movie NOW.

Fuck yeah. I'm psyched after watching that. There's lots of little details they seem to be getting in there.

In case anybody is wondering, that trailer includes the best thing to have come out of the Batman & Robin movie: Smashing Pumpkins soundtrack contribution.

The B&R soundtrack had its moments. Oh, and it looks like Australia doesn't get Watchmen as a trailer before "The Dark Knight".

Goddamn, I mean Goddamn! I spotted several scenes lifted straight from the comic panels. I actually think they are gonna do this right. I've waited 22 years for this movie and it looks better than I imagined. I mean, for me, if Watchmen is great where do I go from here movie-wise? All of my favorite pop culture icons have been done and all done reasonably well; Spiderman, Iron Man, LOTR and now Watchmen.
Maybe a great DND movie is all that's left but we know that'll never happen.

Are they aware that Alan Moore will appear there one day in a puff of black smoke and start ripping out hearts?

Chili Con Carnage isn't terrible and as a prequel & beat'em up I don't know. I don't like it. But at the same time, I haven't played a Beat'Em Up in YEARS.

I puked a little in the mouth only from reading that IGN review. I hope Alan Moore does his heartripping before the game comes out.

Maybe you can play the Dr. Manhattan minigame and see how many Vietnamese you can incinerate in three minutes.

Having never read Watchmen, seeing as it came out two years after I was born, it's interesting to see that they just used the promotional posters from back then and updated them for the movie.

Zack Snyder is trying to stay true to the comic as much as possible. Before he came on the script was totally different than the comic having to do with terrorists or some sort of crap like that and he managed to convince the studio it would be best to follow the comic and keep the original ending as well (studio heads wanted a "Hollywood ending").

Yeah, I have a lot of respect for him after 300. Even if you didn't like it, he kept it VERY true to the comic. Some extra stuff in there, but pretty much all in line with the comic (many of the scenes where right out of comic panels, much like many of the scenes shown in the Watchmen trailer). I've always been a big proponent of directors being slaves to the material rather than slaves to their Ego, and he seems to fit the bill. I was kind of nervous about a watchman movie, but knowing that he's behind it as well as seeing the trailer has pretty much erased my fears. Also, his Dawn of the Dead remake was excellent, and I LOVED the original. He pretty much as my undying trust now until he fucks up (much like Blizzard does with games for me).

I'm betting on them pulling an Austin Powers for that scene.

Nope. When he first pulls his skin back together, he is 'Wang Out'. That scene is in the trailer and he's Speedo'd up.
Sorry.

Err, he wasn't wearing a speedo in the scene where he pulls himself back together (in the dinning room) in the trailer. He just looked a bit ambiguous in the region in the short flash we saw. He was wearing a Speedo when he was melting Vietnam's face, but that's fine because he was wearing one in the Comic in that scene as well.

Teleku is right.
How sad is it that I just went back and rewatched the trailer to verify that?

Alas, I don't have my trailer on me, but I will check in the morning.
If that's true (and who am I to say it's not), damn my memory. I was sure I remembered thinking 'No Wangs. Phew.'
