Watchmen

I never saw this movie I admit. I keep rewatching the trailer to see if it's something I want to watch on Bluray.

Ildemaro...

There are two songs in the newest trailer...

It starts with Pruit Igoe & the Prophecies by Phillip Glass..

And it ends with Take a Bow by Muse.

:)

I am looking forward to this film

What is the name of the song for the new watchmen trailer? No i dont mean the smashing pumpkins one, the new trailer with the new music?

I have to say this is simply the best graphic novel out there. It's incredibly well written and very complex. Let's hope the movie can keep up with the complexity.
BTW great trailer, don't see a new ending here, it seems exactly as in the graphic novel (except for the fact that they're calling themselves "watchmen")

Looks good, we'll see...

Best graphic novel ever, filled with inspired well written characters that live full and complex lives. The story line is as brilliant a piece of fiction that has ever been imagined every frame pulls you in a little more. BUY A COPY AND STRAP YOURSELF IN....Good Luck to Warner Brothers,

I hope the movie does justice to the comic book.

much bettewr than the first trailer, hope they didnt change the ending, i wonder why this trailer makes people think that, i couldnt gather that from watching. no sound on this cpu at work, apparently thats a good thing

I really like this trailer. It did what the last one did but more. this makes me even more excited to see it. Also, I'm not sure what some of you are talking about with a "new" ending, everything I saw in this trailer more or less happened in the book...

KSChris ,

When did they ever use the term Watchmen to describe themselves in the book? I am well aware of the origins of the phrase. It was a derogatory term used by the public during the riots before the Keene Act was signed in '77. It just seems that using the term "watchmen" is dumbing it down for a general audience.

Also, I know where the nuke happens in the book. That wasn't what I was talking about.

Well... i think it looks great, even with the music from the second half, but after the fourth watch, you get used to it.

The first song, btw, way "Pruit Igoe" by Philip Glass.

I agree.
Music lacked punch in second half.
Muse is great, skipping... not so much.

Confirmed new ending?
Probably not.

I didn\'t know that Watchmen would be featured in the new James Bond movie (dugg anyway despite the great digg title)

I love Muse but I don't think it was a good song choice for this trailer. I especially hated how it kept skipping around to different parts of the song. It was painfully obvious and pulled me out of the experience. Otherwise it was 'fair'.

The trailer did not confirm the new ending.. the explosion is in the book as well, about halfway through. It's a dream sequence. And ODV, what do you mean why did they call themselves "Watchmen"? It's from a latin phrase which translates to "Who watches the watchmen?", "Who watches the watchers?", "Who will guard the guards?", "Who shall watch the watchers themselves?"

Overall, I think this is a much better trailer. To non-comic fans it gives a clear understanding of the plot, whereas the first trailer was pretty ambiguous. The music is also a nice touch. The first half is ominous, and it kicks in with Muse's "Take a Bow" in the second half. I like it.

I think the music in the second half was terrible. The first part was pretty good. This trailer also confirmed the new ending. Not good.

The only reason I can see why this isn't considered as good is because of the poor music choice this time around.

A bit disappointed. Why did they call themselves "Watchmen"? Kinda defeats the purpose of the book.

the first trailer was a lot better than this.

That looks awesome!
