I dunno. I may be the biggest Watchmen geek here and I have very high expectations (and big misgivings) about the movie. Kind of the same way I felt about LOTR, which I ended up loving (although someday I hope someone will actually make a movie of the book, ha ha).

SO..... Personally I think the Watchmen pics are great taken as a whole. Rorschach is dead on, and I actually like what they did with Ozymandias and Nite Owl. I mean, c'mon folks, the costumes for the X-Men and even Batman in the various movies have had to be made "realistic". If they had made Nite Owl look just like he did in the comic, everyone would have been saying "Adam West Batman all over again... yuck!"

Now I don't like what they did with Laurie, but maybe it'll grow on me. Her costume looked like something from Frederick's of Hollywood in the book.

And damn if the Comedian isn't just about letter perfect. I'm looking at the old dog-eared book right here in my sweaty hand...

The damn movie better be over 3 hours long, that's all I can say. If they cram this into a 2-hour shortened hacked up condensed mess (like Golden Compass) then I'll really be angry.
