Watchmen evolution, 1986 to 2009

Comparisons between DC Comics Watchmen character posters from 1986 and Zack Snyder’s slavish lavish recreations. (more after the cut, and at trailer addict)

Kevin Smith knows his graphic novels, and here’s what he’s saying on his blog (via /Film):

I saw “Watchmen.” It’s fucking astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off.

Remember that feeling of watching “Sin City” on the big screen and being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you’ll come close to watching “Watchmen.” Even Alan Moore might be surprised at how close the movie is to the book. March can’t come soon enough.
