There will still be a cataclysmic event, it just wont be a giant alien squid dropped on NY.

Didn’t I hear Snyder say The Squid wasn’t gonna be in the film? Not sure how I feel about that

I think the reviews for this are going to be very polarized. Either they will love it and call it an instant classic, or they wont get it at all and call it cheesey and campy.

The clips here have never implied the movie will be cheesey.

It’s just a shame. I read a horrible review today where the critic was calling it campy and pointless. I need to stop watching the clips here, because it’s making me have my doubts about it now.

Nite OWl, this is coming from a DIE HARD fan of the graphic novel. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE the novel and I think the movie will be awesome. I agree, the general public will not get it at all. However…I do not think it will tank, though in it’s second weekend I predict MAJOR drop off, probably out of the top 6 or 7, it’ll be awesome, but here’s why it possibly won’t tank.
1. “from the visionary director of 300″
That’ll get some people’s attention

2. It’s a super hero movie, that again will rack in bucks.

But, here’s why it possibly will.
1. the trailers and TV spots give nothing to explain what it’s about.

I still think it won’t tank, the novel is so amazing and mind blowing, people who haven’t read the novel and who won’t like the flick, DO NOT know what they are missing out on

I hate to say this…but this movie is going to be the greatest movie ever made…It will be the movie to end all movies…Forget Dark Knight…forget Godfather…Watchmen will own…but only in the minds of fans.

The rest of the world will not GET this movie…just like when I saw “The Fountain” and by the end of the movie I was the last guy in the theater…

This movie’s gonna tank so hard…It’s too complex for the simplistic minds of most people to understand. They need their American Idol…their Dancing with the Stars…They will say it sucks and the box office will reflect that…but we shall know the truth…and the truth will set us free. ;-)

This movie looks dissapointing to me. I was really looking foward to this but now after watching these clips I’m not to pleased….. Way too much SLOW-MO!

I think it look s OK…not spectacular, but good. However, I can’t stand the guy they got to play Ozy, and how he plays Ozy. Maybe it’s just my preconceived notion of the character that I got from the comic, but he wasn’t a small guy that slouched. He was a pretty big guy that knew who/what he was and stood very straight, etc.

Whatever…still want to see it just for Rorschach

Movie looks cool. I think the audio was out of sync on the last clip cause you can hear the sound of the punches and kicks before they happen on the screen. The older Silk Spectre looks like the mom from Back To The Future.
