Watchmen

Hey guys I'm just here to show one of my most anticipated movies right now. Watchmen directed by Zack Snyder of 300 fame. Though the reason Im excited isnt only because of the style but because of the plot from the original graphic novel (considered one of the best in the world). Now as a writer I take most of my inspiration from graphic novels as opposed to normal novels. I know its odd right >_< Bt i generally think these push the envelope more. Anyway the reason Watchmen is so great is because it delves into the importance of costumed heros and costumed villains, as well as showing the impact of a superhero on earth. I mean not many actually consider the repercussions of a real life superman a "god among men" and I think this comic deals with it brilliantly. I wont give any spoilers bt I will say this is the first comic to show heroes in a realistic light. Way before the dark knight and the tv series Heroes ever did I believe Watchmen was the very first to do it. That being said I think Watchmen though released over 20 years ago was and still is way before its time. Alan Moore is an outstanding writer and I hold him in my list of role models. Anyway enough of my ramblings, enjoy the trailer (the tight scenes are numerous).
