Watchmen

So i am sure that most if not all of you have heard about the Watchmen movie that is in the making. Or was. Not sure on that, heard a few rumors that it was canceled but the website lists nothing of the sort... I digress. Anyway, after seeing the trailer i became extremely curious as to what it was actually about. It is of course based off of the Watchmen graphic novel, written by Alan Moore, also the author of V for Vendetta. The graphic novel itself is highly acclaimed, having won a Hugo Award and a few other literary commendations. So i picked up a copy of the Graphic novel and read it yesterday. Damn. All I really have to say is that it was not what I expected. It depicts a very real, and gritty environment. one that is not that dissimilar to reality. If the movie stays close to the Graphic novel it will be something amazing.
