Wil Wheaton Brings Hope To Watchmen Fans



I must say over the past few months I have wondered is Watchmen going to be a good movie? Will Hollywood just crap over it?

Well time will tell I guess how the movie is accepted or destroyed by the fans but one thing that gives me hope is Wil Wheaton's statement after seening a screening of the movie.

I have to say hearing this from Wil makes me feel a little better going into my viewing of the movie as I know he is a hardcore geek that likes a lot of the same things I do as well as he is someone who gives his opionion and doesnt sugar coat it or anything to make people happy.

I am soooo excited for the lights to go down and experience this film.

Kansas City fans dont forget to do the scavenger hunt over at scene stealers for a chance to win passes to an early screening of Watchmen as well!  Drawing is next Friday.

    I'm probably going to make myself unpopular here, but in my opinion, questioning whether or not the movie is good kind of misses the point. Watchmen is a comic about comics. It's about the history of comics, the way comics work, the very essence of the medium. There are sequences in the book that could never work in any other medium (the interweaving of the Black Freighter sequences to the main plot, the symmetrical nature of the sixth chapter, the interplay between the story and the art etc), and that's what makes the book so great, even though the actual plot is not one of Moore's greatest.

    I'm happy that Dave Gibbons stands to become a rich man from the film, as he's a lovely guy and a consummate cartoonist, but my feelings towards this movie are still the same: Why bother making it? Why not just read the book again?
