Seems like using cgi just for the sake of it. I have tried to avoid all reportage and trailers before I see the film,

I feel kind of bad for him, because you can see how much The Watchmen means to him, Alan Moor so wants to hate his film until his dieing breath. ...and poor Alan Moore, because I know how he feels about all this. He's talked about it being like having a child turn to prostitution, but what's really happened is that he's created a work of art that is so potent, so powerful, that it's taken on a life of it's own, and transcended him. Many parents freak out when their kids do that. You can plan all you want for your children, but if you've done a good enough job with them, they're going to make their mark on the world in their own way. What must it be like to have made something that has impressed it's self upon people hearts and minds so powerfully that they are all moved to pay tribute to it (not Moore but it) and direct people's attention to it in every way that they can think of? However much Alan Moore hates it all, I still say it's a good thing, and envy him. Zack Snyder is probably not only THE only person that could pull off this movie, but also make it great.

The Comedian shot JFK? Dr. Manhattan was married? (or is that a misconception of the reporter?) Mmmm... IMAX... I'm kinda disappointed they didn't use Ric Burns for the bonus "Under the Hood" video, instead going for a "60 Minutes" feel. When this movie comes out, it will do for superhero movies what "2001" did for science fiction movies. SPOILER (via the minute (ha) by minute breakdown)!
