Fantastic!!!!!!! I can’t wait!
That was simply amazing…
OMG! That is a great trailer. Didn’t like the first one, but this one is just amazing.
The Watchmen Motion Comic is also available on iTunes. It’s pricey at $19. Has anyone gotten it? What do you think of it?
They had the first “episode” of sorts for free for awhile and I watched it. It’s… I dunno. It’s okay I guess. My one complaint is that there’s only one voice person and it’s a dude, so it’s really weird when he does Silk Spector. It’s word for word, so I guess it’s good for someone who wants to read the book but thinks it’s too dense. *shrug* They just sort of animated the panels and gave it background noise and whatnot. Animation was pretty good. Don’t remember any complaints.
My one quibble is that they should have hired more than one voice.
I dunno, for free it was neat to watch, but I don’t think I’ll pay for the rest of it. But that’s just me.
*now I must watch trailer*
Isn’t this trailer attached to Quantum of Solace? (which I’m seeing this weekend)
ANd I have the graphic novel now! Have to read it before the movie is released. :)
didn’t like this….
maybe I’m being silly but it bothers me to no end that they refer to themselves collectively as “The Watchmen”.
I’ve always appreciated that the title appears to be a superhero monikeer but is in fact a reference to “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”
In fact that was how the Samm Hamm script lost me on the first page.
@Rusty: I think there is some audio trickery going on both times that happens in the trailer. Hopefully it is just a marketing gimmick to get people in the seats, but they won’t refer to themselves as the “Watchmen” in the actual film. It would bother me then, but if they just do it in the trailer for people who aren’t familiar with the novel, then I’m fine with it.
As for this trailer, I loved it. The visuals still look great, and we finally get to hear some of the characters speak. I think my favorite thing from this trailer is finally seeing Dan Dreiberg in his plain clothes. I think he looks just about perfect.
@ “if they just do it in the trailer for people who aren’t familiar with the novel, then I’m fine with it.”
agreed.
Looks like devin had the same concern I did.

This looks awesome! Need to read the novel though…
I got gipped- when I saw Quantum of Solace I didn’t get a Watchman OR a Star Trek trailer. :( I’ve watched them on the internet though and they both look amazing. Wathchman looks really good but they’re were times where Rorshach’s voice seemed a bit too over-the-top raspy.
well i finished reading the graphic novel and i’ve watched the trailer 6 times now and it keeps blowing me away, can’t wait till the movie comes out.
When I saw Quantum of Solace, I got to see a ton of trailers, but most of them were crappy trailers. At least I got to see the Star Trek trailer, but I was hoping to see this new Watchmen trailer on a big digital screen. Unfortunately they didn’t show it. :(
