Huh, Empire's servers seem to have gone down- here's a Youtube version, though obviously lower quality.

We saw the trailer in the theater before TDK tonight. I don't know that a trailer has ever moved me so deeply. Each shot is visually engaging, yes -- gorgeous to behold, like something out of a dream -- but there's an emotional power to the net result that I don't think I've ever experienced in a trailer.
Further, and equally important, it seems like they're striking close to the source here. They're not "adapting" -- quote/unquote -- the material except for what's needed to put it on the screen. At least, it certainly looks that way. Shot after shot, they cover all the beats from the graphic novel like they're ticking them off a hand-lettered list.
The eye-widening Watchmen trailer, combined with seeing TDK, has left me giddy with joy at being a SFF fan. I'm proud to say my jaw is on the floor, and drool can clearly be seen from several yards away. Thank you and good-night.

I've never read the comic but I thought the trailer had some of the most visually stunning images I have ever seen. I never seen anything look quite like this. I'm intrigued enough that I may check out the comic from my library.

Saw the trailer online today. Having never read the book(s) can someone who has tell me: should I be happy, worried or both?

Might I say it's worth the read? It surpasses almost anything else I've read comic book wise.
Check it out from the local library, if nothing else.

"My God, it's full of stars."
The trailer was amazing. The visual style fits the comic, but in a sleek way- modernizing without modernizing is the only way I can think to describe it. And the effects to bring Dr. Manhattan to life....wow.

I've never actually sat down and read the trade from cover to cover. I know everything that happens, but I really need to read it.

I saw the trailer at Batman. I was so attached to it as a quality work, one of the very best, that the trailer worries me personally. Doesn't mean it won't be good, just looks like they focused on all the wrong stuff. Read Read Read if you want to be amazed...or maybe see the movie first, that way you are guaranteed not to be let down by the film. If you see the film first, I believe you will be statistically more likely to enjoy both. I hope I am wrong here.

What do you mean by focusing on the wrong stuff? I can see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure that's a fair argument to make for a teaser trailer. All they really focused on is Dr. Manhattan, who's existence is really what caused everything that led to the situation in Watchmen.
