Watching the Watchmen

The Watchmen trailer's up.

A bit apprehensive about this one because I didn't really like Zack Snyder's previous movies (I thought 300 was boring and the best part of his Dawn of the Dead remake was the opening credits with the Johnny Cash song and then it was all downhill from there), but damn, I have to admit Watchmen looks really, really nice. You have the birth of Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl and Sally Jupiter's assault on the prison, Rorschach with an improvised flame thrower (could've done with a "Hurm", though) and The Comedian being thrown out the window. Damn.

I'm off to dig out my copy and read the whole thing all over again.
