Also this movie is going to own. Zack Snyder will be as faithful as possible to Watchmen. He already stated the original ending is staying intact. Spoiler: Ozymandius gets away with the attack on Manhattan. He won't apprehended at all to make it more movie like.. Just look at how faithful Snyder kept things in 300. I agree Watchmen is not very movie friendly, but this is the man that would create the best version possible of it. About Alan Moore, he's a genius, but completely against any of his movies getting made. He's had problems with every one of them, so this is no surprise.

"Faithful?"  No offense, but have you actually read 300?  The movie was a long way from faithful.  In terms of adaptations, the Sin City movie is probably the most accurate representation of its source material.

I can't imagine how a Watchmen movie could ever measure up to the amazing quality of the graphic novel.  After seeing the trailer, I'm even less convinced.  I'm sure I'll have to see it out of morbid curiosity, but I think we'd be better off without it.  I guess if it encourages more people to read the book, that's something.

300 was far too thin to actually make a movie out of. Sure there were many added scenes, but I felt that it all helped the film, not deter from it. When I say faithful, I don't mean basing your entire directing duties on making sure every frame of the comic is shown live on screen like in Sin City. Sin City suffered because they took the novels raw and didn't add or subtract what worked or didn't work for a movie adaptation. I don't see why they couldn't have taken some liberties. I mean Frank Miller was completely involved in it.
