Looks like it sticks to the story...but i just can't see how they can turn the novel into 1 movie

Suposedly the film is going to be anywhere from 3 hrs to 3 and a half hours long.

I dont see why they dont split it up into 2 movies ala Kill Bill.

Meh. The Watchmen is sort of like the after dinner mint. We've only had the rice/potato/starch (Batmans) and had to send the filet mignon back to the kitchen because it was an overdone piece of flab (SR). We still need the vegetable side dish (Wonder Woman), soup/salad (Flash/Green Lantern), appetizer (Aquaman), and cocktails (Green Arrow).

I would have to disagree this could easily end up one of my favorite movies of all time. I absolutely loved the graphic novel, more than I had expected since I read it after seeing first trailer. I definitely look forward to this and it seems to follow very closely to the novel which is all the better.

Two hours and about 50 minutes according to Zack Snyder, give or take 10 minutes.

They've also changed the ending compared to the book.

Already got my tickets for opening night Imax, it's getting good reviews so far. Read a few things that have lowered my expectations a bit. The graphic novel is great, I have very little faith in the director, but hopefully he can pull it off. Just have to remember there are 3 versions of the film, so what we get in theaters isnt really the finished product. Hopefully this version is still good, but I'm looking forward to the directors cut and the extended cut w/ the additional pirate comic story line running through it

Heard a few mixed reviews but then again, unless it became Catwoman redux, I'd still go watch it.

A little nervous about them changing the ending. No idea what the change is but I heard it works well.

I guess it adds a little intrigue for those who've already read the comics. As long as it's not a Brett Ratner total destruction, I believe in Zach Snyder after what he did adapting 300.
