New Video Journal for Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN

I read the Watchmen for the first time this past week. The first third of the book was extremely bogged down due to completely necessary, but otherwise boring, exposition. The middle was much more interesting and the ending sucked. I don't know how well it'll translate to a movie as the ending (which I don't want to spoil) isn't really all that happy.

Dave Gibbons illustrated, Alan Moore was the author.
I know it's an honest mistake but I need to point out stuff like that to keep my geek membership status current.
FYI to everyone, In the Trees by the Watchmen, one of the related products advertised under this article, is an awesome album. Great Canadian rock band.

I don't recall the first part of The Watchman being that bad. It probably was tedious, however. As jerichoraine pointed out, it would have been 'out of necessity'.

I didn't like the ending either, but maybe, if the movie is faithful to the original story and decides to keep that ending, they will find a way to make it more... palatable. Reality, we know, isn't a neat, tidy script that is logical and doesn't confuse or mislead or dissapoint us. Irrationality and unforseen occurrences are normal. On the other hand, I like my entertainment to be more tidy than reality. And I want it to be edifying. Life tears me down. Fantasy lifts me up.
