Watchmen preview impresses

[Darth Shoju]

I dunno, the squid seemed just off the wall enough to work. Unite against an otherworldly threat. If what they say is true for the new ending, it lacks that level of urgency for unification.

I have my doubts that those rumours are true, or at the least they are misleading. Snyder claims the ending they have tested well with fans of the comic. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Snyder mentioned Dr. Manhattan's "energy signature" when talking about the ending, so this all points to Ozymandias gathering a team of phisics, weapons experts and even SFX artists to create a bomb that replicate's Manhattan's energy signature as it destroys half of NYC. And instead of allowing Rorschach to expose the truth, Manhattan accepts the blame for it.

I'm pretty sure the premise of New York being decimated by some elitist who thinks it's for our own good, and the perpetrator of that attack getting away with it, didn't test well amongst viewers (who by and large don't give a toss about faithfulness to the source material). Expect a different ending.

As for the trailer, I'm disappointed. The excessive use of slo-mo and familiar recycled background scores struck me as being very by-the-numbers. Dr. Manhattan seems more fey than imposing and godlike; it's lack of any base in the actor's voice, I think.

Do Rorschach's ink blots seem to be shifting or are they static? Couldn't tell.

We'll see, I guess

I'm not sure if that is the final score for the movie. Could just be a placeholder. The slo-mo didn't bother me. After 300 I pretty much assumed Snyder would be using it again here.

I thought his voice sounded weird too.

Yup, they shift.
