Watch Out For THE WATCHMEN

This March, Zack Snyder, director of 300, brings us a cinematic adaptation of the most celebrated graphic novel of all time, THE WATCHMEN. Based on the trailer below, I have no doubt that the film will prove to contain ultra visual and styllistic eye candy, but the depth and richness of the storytelling is what gives me the most reservation. 300, though at times visually stunning, had a weak story, week characters, and presented a world in which pointless violence was celebrated, along with a false sense of machoism and heroism. I am weary but hopefull that THE WATCMEN will prove different.
