Reactions to story from /Film | Blogging the Reel World

Director Zack Snyder and the entire Watchmen gang had a lot to live up to at Comic Con after that extensive teaser trailer took the world by storm in front of all those Dark Knight screenings. As it turns out, they weren't quite able to live up to it, but that's not at all a commentary on the quality of the film. The footage itself was fantastic, helping to further remove any inklings of doubt that the filmmakers wouldn't be able to retain the greatness of the graphic novel. The downside was that there wasn't nearly enough of it. I personally was hoping for at least a couple of full scenes with dialogue, but alas, that was not the case.
