I had never heard of Watchmen until the trailer before The Dark Knight. The fact that I had never heard of it until then has become the bane of my existence. I immediately began looking up information about this because the trailer intrigued me. I read about how it was a graphic novel first, and possibly the GREATEST graphic novel.
Confession Time: Ive never read a graphic novel. Not a fan of comics, I think that they are cool and all but honestly I've found other things more fun. But I know people who adore them so maybe Ill get around to reading them someday.
However, after seeing that trailer I did read ONE graphic novel. I may read more, maybe. Mostly because this astounded me. It was so poignant and thrilling. So tongue-in-cheek. I loved it. It was one of the greatest works of fiction I have ever read, and i read alot.
But Watchmen as a movie is impossible. It involves way to much. And I believe a graphic novel is the only proper way to show this.
Do not get me wrong. I believe that everything about the movie looks great. Every single detail, and trailer are perfect. But I think when it comes together, it just wont work. This movie is the impossible.
But please Zach Snyder, Prove me wrong. PLEASE.
confused about what Im talking about?
