For months now I have been anticipating the film adaptation of the "The Watchmen." a graphic novel by writer Alan Moore & artist Dave Gibbons. All those familiar know that the characters relate to no other comic storylines, but have everything to do with the purpose and consequences of idolizing superhero mythology. I don't normally go ga-ga over a superhero film anymore. Superhero flicks are a dime for 2 dozen. Even so, This trailer offers up the source material in such a way that it not only transcends the original framework of comic book narrative, but a refining of the superhero filmmaking tradition as well.
...and personally I'm glad that it gets an R rating. pg-13 movies have been getting on my fucking nerves lately.

groan. i wish these guys would figure out their bullshit before making the movie. I'm sure this won't stop the movie's release. Fox will just get a cut of the it's earnings.
