    Looks like it's gonna be crappy… I rather go play with legos, I think they will have more excitement then that crappy want to be x-men/300/wasted time and money film :) Just a thought…

    i think the film can go either way! but this was a shity preview =[

    In the IMAX it was visually stunning. Looks to be amazing. I love X-men so I hope it's as good or possibly as wonderful as The Dark knight Which was about the joker really, not batman.

    I also hate Billy Corgan and his singing made my blood pump. It will be good

    Next X-Men?! What the fuck is this guy smoking? Watchman is nothing like the X-Men. Read the book; maybe you'll sound a little less like an ass. Fuck wit.

  17. cele says – reply to this


    17

    looked kinda cool but i hated 300 and i feel like watching that movie gave me a glimpse into the directors soul and it was very corrupt. so i exspect it to be really shitty and wannabe. alot of people will love it im sure.

    It shows that you have no idea what Watchmen is about. You can't compare X-Men to this, they are totally different!

  22. loqua says – reply to this


    22

    this is based on the greatest graphic novel of all time. it's an amazing book and hopefully will be an amazing movie. this isn't ANYTHING like x-men or any other comic book, which you would know if you bothered to read every once and a while. is everyone who reads this blog an idiot? this graphic novel is on Time's greatest books of all time list. get a clue.

  23. LordG says – reply to this


    23

    Perez, WTF? You are a jackass. Watchmen is a literary classic. This film has been bounced around for 20 years. It will be a classic in cinema, as well. You are showing what a fucking clown you are by even asking!

  24. kirst says – reply to this


    24

    you should probably read the watchmen before you start making comparisons with other comics…probably the best graphic novel I've ever read, much darker than x-men and if this movie ruins it I'll be the saddest ever

  25. april says – reply to this


    25

    it's promising. the graphic novel was awesome. it's like a darker version of the incredibles

  26. joey says – reply to this


    26

    Re: M

    hey look another fuckhead who has no clue what hes talking about.

    this movie might have box office trouble due to the number of people who dont know who the watchmen were. it looks solid as far as content. assuming they dont butcher the storyline.



  27. 27

    I thought it looked pretty good. But what bothered me was the fact that EVERY single preview before the Batman movie was about the world ending or civilization ending or some other violence related topic. Granted I was there to see a movie with violence in it, but it just made me wonder if Hollywood isn't creative enough to think about something other than violence. Sad…..

  28. shit says – reply to this


    28

    shiteous! The Dark Knight set a new mark for comic book movies. Every other movie sucks in comparison to TDK.

  29. CAN" says – reply to this


    29

    This is nothing like the X-men. A non comic reader wouldn't be impressed or even understand what this is. The Watchmen was a 12 part mini series in 1985. These characters were only in this mini series. The Watchmen is the reason comics are now no longer for children. Batman would still be a campy mess if it were not for The Watchmen's influence. The Watchmen changed the face of comics forever. This is kinda the holy grail of modern comics.

  30. megan says – reply to this


    30

    watchmen is by far one of the best comic thrillers, and a lot is riding on it to be good. if its not, my dad is going to be crushed :P

  31. Watch says – reply to this


    31

    Watchmen is the Citizen Kane of comic books. I think it will be great. My only worries of it failing would be if they can really adapt the story for the screen without sacrificing too much. Make no mistake, it's got superheroes in it, but it is very intelligent and VERY FUCKED UP.

  32. sp fa says – reply to this

    billy corgan rocks love the song!!! smashing pumpkins forever!!!

  33. b says – reply to this


    33

    Watchmen is a brilliant book (one that is absolutely NOTHING like X-Men, by the way), and it looks like it will be a brilliant movie.

  34. Kevin says – reply to this


    34

    Comparing this to an X-Men movie is disturbing.
    Though those movies were fun and enjoyable, this movie will be visually and thematically STUNNING.
    It's going to be unbelievable.



  35. 35

    The book is great so hopefully this will be spectacular. I read a review stating that it's going to be amazing. I agree with everyone else on this site, the book is a classic. People always comment about things they have not a clue about.

  36. nicna says – reply to this


    36

    hey, posers and those who don*t think for themselves ! It*s a great novel and some of you should read more and follow less. Be a "do-er"instead. Frank Miller is great graphic novelist like "sin city" for you that media follow. Don*t be a trend!

  37. Gabby says – reply to this

    the best thing ever based on the best graphic novel ever. you should give the book a try perez!

  40. Shann says – reply to this


    40

    Ha ha at all of the comic book geeks. Tell Perez how much better this shit is than all the other shit that came before it. Yeah, he's the loser because he doesn't understand "graphic novels"? Sorry, but your life sucks.

  41. fuck says – reply to this


    41

    This site is all about marketing now. Studios, record companies send perez stuff to post, he's a douche, has no artistic quality about him, all he can do is try, and I stress Try to be funny.

  42. CM says – reply to this


    42

    Perez, you seem rather clueless when it comes to anything comic book- related. I would suggest not comparing graphic novels you know nothing about to X-Men because Watchmen is completely unrelated. Not even close. Also, Batman is supposed to be dark. That's the way he was created in 1939, long before Adam West wore spandex badly and Joel Schumacher destroyed the franchise.

  43. Miche says – reply to this


    43

    The watchmen is one of the 100 greatest NOVELS according to Time. The next X-Men… I hope they don't butcher the story as much as they did the X-Men. The watchmen and x-men should not be compared ever they are very very very different (shows how much you know). Anyone who has read it is probably excited to see it, I sure am. I think it will be amazing. The story is so exciting.

  44. nicna says – reply to this

    As a Marvel Comic book reader or a Marvelite, I hate it when Marvel things like the X-Men are compared to DC comic things.
    its bullshit.

  47. nicna says – reply to this


    47

    Re: Shann – if it sucks so bad that were geeks, then why do people who don*t read comics try to report on how it is, in other words Shann go slit ur wrists and bleed to death.

  48. Watch says – reply to this


    48

    Perez I love you, but I have to educate you about Watchmen. in a really short description it is a graphic novel about ex "masks" and the aftermath of one of their contemporaries murders, and it's a little difficult to describe. It is in no way similar to X-Men, it is far more dark and deals more in the darkness of the human psyche if that makes any sense. In fact only one of them has real powers the rest are just vigilantes. The film looks a little promising but Watchmen seems really unadaptable so it's probably not going to be as great as the novel. Read it

  49. megan says – reply to this


    49

    this is going to be soooooooo good; watchmen was such a great novel

    51

    Whoever says this is shiteous obviously didn't have the privilege of seeing this preview in IMAX. This director is genius. Even if you didn't like 300, you have to respect a movie like that, the same shall be said about this!

  52. m says – reply to this


    52

    Re: joey – Dude as always, the butcher all the great classic comic books… spider man ended up retarded (especially with that skank kristin drunksten), Batman now is decent (exception of that maggie gynhell as rachell who is a pointless character in the movie, thank GOD they killed her off! Sorry spoiler!!), x-men ridiculous (rather watch the cartoons), and so forth… they kill these classic comics… and BTW asshole did you watch the trailer? Humm, it looked like an x-men trailer, everyone was like wtf? yeah, and especially with the great gay graphics of 300, I'm sure this movie is gonna be shit!! just a thought… do not deprive me of my first amend right you jerk!!

  53. ivett says – reply to this

    i just like the song…. got to love smashing pumpkins…. although it's weird they made or giva a song for a movie…. but… i love the song…. te trailer…. looks it's going to be shiteous…..

    This tiny little Perez TV bullshit doesn't do this trailer justice because seeing this trailer ahead of the Dark Knight made me an instant fan.

    56

    LOVE the comic, so I am trying not to get my hopes up for the movie incase I'm dissapointed. BUT, from that very brief preview it does look like they have got the characters looking right, so here's hoping the rest of it is just as good!

    Looks like it could be good. I just checked out the graphic novel based on seeing the preview and I have to say that I am enjoying the novel thus far. I'm all for "superheros" with excess baggage.

  62. Val says – reply to this


    62

    HA

    I was just watching this today.
    but yeah its definitely the new teaser for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
    They're supposedly releasing one for Magneto as well. Both set for 2009, which is kinda weird.

    But I'm looking forward to this one!

  65. wtf says – reply to this


    65

    Dude, perez. As much as I respect you and you're gossip talents. Sometimes I just want to drive my fist into your face.

    You judge things based on what you see, you really should get your facts straight before you start influencing the other pea-brained people that read your blog.

    First of all, Alan Moore is a literary genius, you really need to read his works (and no, watching V for Vendetta does not count you moron). Watchmen is a literary composition which depics the situation between the US and the Soviet Union back in the days, where as Dark Knight and The X-men are for those stupid wannabe people who thinks they've read it all the "great" comic books in the world.

    Second, Watchmen is far more than a comic book, it's so deep students often study this book in college for it's numerous themes. (You don't see college students studying x-men do ya?) Also, the watchmen has a far more plausible plot than x-men (apart from dr. mahattan), where as x-men is all about people having super powers and saving the world. And I'm not saying I don't like the x-men, it's a great read, and the movies are 'aight, but don't go dissing watchmen if you haven't read the book.

    And lastly. Dude, this was out so so long ago, like last thursday. You really should go and update your sources. Also do us a favor, don't go on commenting things before you get your facts straight.

  66. Ni says – reply to this

    No comparison, hope they do it justice.

  67. sam says – reply to this


    67

    dude…it's the watchmen…ignorance about this paired with your pathetic review of the dark knight should be a clue to everyone who "reads" your site that you need to go back to drawing coke and urine on celebrities’ pictures. All you do now is bow to your endorsements and plug movies, shows and artists that whose distributors PAY YOU TO PROMOTE. You’re a self-centered sell-out who can’t stop posting videos of yourself and your dog. You used be a nice diversion, and now you’re just a symbol of everything that is abhorrent about the media today.

    I've been watching that trailer since Thursday. It was in the Dark Knight previews. It looked pretty cool! I've been looking at it many times and my friend keeps looking at in and she can't wait for it to come out. Me too I am so excited. This is the first comic book to win a Hugo Award. I just can't wait to see what the director of 300 did with this! Hey man, if he can pull it of, kudos to him! Trailer is bangin!

    76

    WTF PEREZ??? Don't you even bother to do research before you write on a subject? The Watchmen is NOTHING like the Xmen. You sound ignorant when you post something like this. The Watchmen is an incredible comic book, with a lot of subtle references to the Free Masons and the NWO. If you read the book carefuly and pay attention to the drawings, you will find lots of symbolism and hints about it. This book is smart and complex. Nothing like your comments, obviously…

    TO EVERYONE!! I just hate how these so called"great directors" kill the comic books… dude, if these directors had the same sense of creativity as the original creators who drew these classic comic books, then I praise them, but every movie i have seen made out of a classic comic book, kills it…an watchman is one that should be just let alone…

  82. Madel says – reply to this


    82

    The Watchmen is the most celebrated graphic novel of all time, it is about what happens when you are no longer able to trust those who are supposed to protect you. I advise people not to judge it right now, instead I advise you to read the graphic novel itself. So much time and money and thought was put into this movie and I have following the updates for a long time so please everyone, do not jump to conclusions, you just may pleasantly surprised when you see the movies. If you nothing about graphic novels then stop judging! One more thing, can you please stop using fake words like "shiteous"? People sound incredibly derisory when they use made up words.

    85

    I saw this trailer a couple of days ago. The Watchmen is the greatest graphic novel of all time (widely recognized.) And it looks like they did a great job here. Dr. Manhattan looks especially amazing. I could do without the song, great on it's own not for this trailer though - and double used.

  86. L says – reply to this


    86

    "the next xmen"?! that sentence just made me die a little inside. watchmen is widely accepted to be THE best graphic novel. ever. if this movie doesn't completely butcher the storyline, this movie shouldn't even be comprable to any of the xmen movies. it isn't a kids story or a mindless action flick.

    and to the guy (shann) who insulted all the "comic book geeks" who've commented this post- well, first, watchmen isn't only considered the best comic book written, it's the only graphic novel on times 100 greatest novels list. so my life sucks for having read a work that is considered to be one of the most brilliant of all time? yeah…that doesn't make you look like a fucking retard. and i'm right in assuming you haven't and won't see dark knight, right? cause it'd be a bit hipocritical to insult people who read comics after seeing a comic book movie. jus' sayin'…

  87. wtf says – reply to this


    87

    Re: m

    my point on my comments are not about whether or not i want to see it in movies. Im actually scared that they're going to ruin it for me.

    but for perez to put watchmen on the same level as x-man. or commenting about how "shiteous" it is. THAT'S what gets me mad. because there are tons of ignorant people out there that thinks they know something, but they're just harsh poseurs.

  88. R.C. says – reply to this


    88

    You really can't compare the two. X-Men is fun, but Watchmen is a fascinating look at the role costumed heroes play in a world that really needs to be saved.

    I hope it doesn't disappoint.

  89. Miche says – reply to this


    89

    It'll probably be better, I'd say.

  90. jess says – reply to this


    90

    watchmen is an amazing graphic novel, and i think fans will really like it. but i think it's important to note, a lot of comic book/graphic movies made over the past few years (300, iron man, hulk, sin city, dark knight) are being made BY comic book people FOR comic book people. they did the whole hollywood-it-up thing for the general public in movies like x-men, and the first hulk (with eric bana), which resulted in some pretty shitty movies. now, it's kind of like fuck the general public. if they like it good, if they don't, whatever.

  91. Caitl says – reply to this


    91

    Can't we all just get along?

    Is it possible that Perez knows Watchmen isn't at all comparable to X-Men and is just (successfully) generating conversation?

    Like I previously posted, I'm hoping the movie doesn't disappoint and I agree with Laure who said Dr. Manhattan looks especially amazing.

    "We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings."

  92. Lucy says – reply to this


    92

    Shut the fuck up, Perez. If you knew what you were talking about half the time, you'd know that Watchmen is nothing like X-Men - not even close. I want to kick your ass.

  93. Harli says – reply to this

    It is the greatest graphic novel ever writte, perez you are a moron if you think u can compare it to X-Men….it is going to be fucking amazing.

    95

    re: Re: Steph – If you had any CLUE what Watchmen is, you would know it's actually incredibly original and NOTHING like any other comic book, comic book movie or any other movie for that matter. There is nothing like Watchmen. Don't follow in Perez' idiotic footsteps by posting crap without actually knowing what you're talking about.

    "There's waaaaaaay too many movies like this nowadays anyway. Doesn't anyone have any sense of originality anymore?? D:"

    I'd like to know what exactly you mean by "this" cause something tells me you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

  96. Rozan says – reply to this


    96

    After I watched the trailer I had to look the movie up on IMDB because I had no idea what the movie was about. I think that the trailer was meant to be visually exciting, to get people interested in seeing the film. The only problem with that approach is that someone who doesn't know what Watchmen is about is going to be confused and less likely to want to see the film. All in all I wasn't really impressed despite the fact that I generally enjoy movies of this genre.

    It looks like it's going to be pretty sick, lots of fun. AND good use of the beginning is the end is the beginning, which, oddly, was used as a toss off song for another superhero movie (batman and robin). SMASHING PUMPKINS FUCKIN' RULE! What movie is this trailer for again?
