This would really make a better mini-series then a movie. Unless it\'s 3 and a half hrs long they are going to mess it up.The great thing about Watchmen is all the details and nuances. If they try to summarize it and water it down it\'s going to be awful. If you want it to be successful then be as faithful to the comics as possible. Let\'s be realistic, the comic is not a household name. It dosen\'t stand to do big box-office on name recognition or the fact that parents can bring their kids to it( at least pg-13 but it should be R)tHE ONLY WAY IT WILL MAKE $ IS IF it is good(which means stay as close to the plot with alot of the details!) If it is good it will generate word of mouth support which could help make it a little over 100 million in several months(like the way pulp fiction did).
