Plot Summary: A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, "Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who is watching the Watchmen?

Have you read the book? How can you idiots all get excited about a film that will be rubbish compared to the book. just another case of too much hype and idiots like you falling for it.

Your clever friend, James.

'James in lodon' has it exactly right. I fear it will likely be dumbed down just like V for Vendetta was. Poor Alan Moore.

Unfortunately, it is quite hard for ANY director or script-writer to keep with the books exact happenings. Most novels and books MUST be "dumbed down" so that more of the world will understand it. Not everyone has a well-functioning brain like some of us. It is an unfortunate thing, but, in the end, these guys are just out to make money, not art.

To be honest with you, 300 was like one of the stupist film that he ever made, because 300 movie was like all fake and not looks so real violence it was a lot of boring slow motion it wasnt like one of the best movie its just horrible movie...but I hope the director wont ruin this movie..

There's no possible way they can mess up a film based on the comic book bible. Okay, so they could, but they wouldn't dare--Think of the massive comic book nerd suicide to follow if this movie is bad!!

I hope it isn't dumbed down, but knowing hollywood... And you people who love 300 love a movie with little plot. Perhaps they should've asked the Wachowski bros to do it, they didn't completely fail with V. :|
