Tell me Moore

When asked for his opinion regarding the film production of his graphic novel, Watchmen,
Alan Moore replied,

" I'm not watching that fucking thing."



I am going to give Watchmen a chance.

It takes a lot of courage and faith to take on such an impossible task.
Many fanboys will complain that a film will kill off the greatest graphic novel ever written.

It is easy to confuse one item with another. A graphic novel is a graphic noel, a film is a film and the two should always be viewed objectively and independent from one another.
Private emotions aside, I am going to see whether this film will be as good of a film as the novel was legendary as a novel.

Fanboys, we know that you have been reading it before I was born.
Nevertheless, I won't shoot a movie down before I watch it. (not even the cringingly painful Dragonball: Evolution which has an epic fail trailer and promo arts)
