The Watchmen -- ANTICIPATION THREAD!!!

From what I have read, they are sticking with the comics and keeping the setting in the 1980s. From the looks of it, they nailed the Comedian, he and Rorschach are my two favorite characters. Now y'all got me itching to see this movie even more.

I thought the graphic novel (and actually everything Alan Moore has done) was wildly overrated. However the movie does look awesome and I'm really looking forward to it. Considering how closely the movie supposedly follows the source, I'm not sure why I'd be into one and not the other...

Here's a really cool add-on clip.

I can agree that the comics were a bit overrated, moreso I can understand the brain hemorrhage from reading it, it took me a while to read and reread for a better comprehension of what was going on. The comic was a bit labor intensive to get through, but I love Alan Moore's vision of superheros and that is what hooked me through the whole story.
