Eh , I don't know that the trailer blows . I just doubt they can do the books justice in movie form . Watchmen really captured a time & mind set in America when it came out . And that time has passed . I just can't see non comic book folks being into this flick .

That ship looks like a giant pair of binoculars.

The problem with the Watchmen trailer is the same problem that I suspect the Watchmen movie will have - It's the wrong medium. The Watchmen is just as much about comics as it is about vigilantism, the cold war and questions of morality; in many ways it's more about comics than it is about those things. So unless they people behind the film have done something startling and rewrote the piece to comment on, I dunno, Hollywood or contemporary comic book movies it will just turn out to be a replica of a great piece of art in a substitute media. Sorta of like building a David out of Lego's or that guy who 'built Starry Night in Second Life. I'll still go see it, but I don't expect it to be the comic in anything but the outlines.

The character on the left looks a bit like a cross between one of the members from the Ambiguously Gay Duo and one of the Village People (got to be the mustache).

i c wut u did thar.

Would have been nice to hear something about the good bits of the show, tucked away in the back which need saving and deserve viewing rather than reading 4 moaning rants about all the bad stuff, i wasn't lucky enough to go let alone get my trip paid for...

The Rorshach figure looks awful. I pray that its a prototype. And that the movie is good.

I think perhaps everyones fears can be summed up in this panel Gordon McAlpin's webcomic, Multiplex.
