Top 5 Reasons Watchmen will rule

Watchmen (2009) is the film version of the legendary comic written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. As with any beloved source, the adaptation makes me both anxious (It should be awesome right?) and nervous (well they already screwed up League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). So here's my top reasons why I shouldn't be worried about watchmen.

1) The source material- how the hell can you screw up Watchmen? Just take the dialogue and the visuals from the comic and put them in motion and you'd have one hell of a movie. It's basically a movie already, all you need to do is film it. Some comics are too purely visual (300), but watchmen's visuals still kickass and Alan Moore's writing is on par with most great novels.

2) Zach Snyder- say what you will about 300, theres no arguing Zach Snyder is the Van Gogh of maimings and decapitations. The trailer alone proves it, Watchmen will have great visuals. With the possible exception of Sin City, no movie has felt as much like a comic book as 300. If the movie Watchmen is exactly like the comic, well then Snyder will have succeeded.

3) Little Children- Little Children is a very well acted movie most people havent seen based on a book most people havent read that's basically about a really dark patch of suburbia. the main plots are about a man (Patrick wilson) who cheats on his wife with a married woman (Kate Winslet), and about a sex offender (Jackie Earle Haley)
Why do I mention this? Well, Patrick Wilson is Nite Owl II and Jackie Earle Haley is Rorschach in Watchmen. And both have shown they can act. Admittedly, adulterer and pedophile do not always equal superhero (although thats not far off in Watchmen), but hear me out. Wilson in both has to play a decent guy whose fallen on hard times but shows he can still do the right thing. He looks like the all-american boy, but actually has flaws.
Haley even more so. Rorschach is a ultra-right (fascist) guy who does horrific things in both films. He hates the world for rejecting hime (both movies) but like every character in Watchmen shows both signs of good and evil.

4) Matthew Goode, Billy Crudup and Jeffrey Dean Morgan- again, who the hell are these guys. Well, again, they are (kind of) good actors. Goode I've only seen in Match Point, but he's easily the amusing high point when you ignore both Scarlett Johannsen's performance and Scarlett Johannsen's absurdly hot body (it's almost unfair that any man on earth could ever even touch her). He comes off as intelligent and looks pretty physically fit, which is important when you're playing Ozymandius. Billy Crudup (Dr. Manhattan) was very good in both movies I've seen him in (Almost Famous, Big Fish), although you only see him in non-CGI for a short bit. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, I'll be frank, I've never seen him in anything (wikipedia says he was on Supernatural(bleh) Gray's Anatomy(Bleh again) and Weeds (1 out of 3 aint bad)). However, he looks kickass as The Comedian (just check out this link). http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1445107456/nm0604747

5) The Script- admittedly, Watchmen is a tit bit (heh tit) dark. You could see people not liking the ending, cause its not exactly the biggest confidence booster, and when Hollywood sees unhappy, they incorrectly think they'll lose money. Hence why they changed the ending of Dodgeball (remember when you think they lose? thats where the movie was gonna end, with Ben Stiller winning). Luckily the rumours are is that this is the most faithful script they've ever made (there's been quite a few attempts since the 80's). However, if "most faithful" means "we changed the ending," im gonna be "really ticked off".
