   Yeah. I mean, V for Vendetta LOOKED just as it should from the trailers,   
   but is, IMO a massive turd, the best Alan Moore related adaptation only   
   because the others were even worse. Allthough some people think it's a   
   masterpiece.   
      
   Anyway, all I want for Watchmen is to be a nice visual representation of   
   the book that doesn't have anything... completely fucking stupid in it.   
   Like any completely point-missing alterations or "clever" additions that   
   aren't or whathaveyou. I'm a bit worried because Snyder changed a few   
   things in 300 for the worse IMO, but they weren't massively damaging.   
      
   But watchmen is a better and much smarter work than 300 so I can just   
   hope that Snyder and his writers "get" enough of it to make it a worthy   
   adaptation. He's a great visualist who loves the source material but   
   that doean't mean he'll automatically make the best possible version.   
      
   I kind of wish I lived in the alternate universe where Paul Greengrass   
   got his version made, because while snyder's will surely be more   
   faithful, his was looking a lot more *interesting*.
