It's finally here! On the eve of the debut of The Dark Knight, the first official full length trailer for Watchmen has arrived.
This definitely proves that Zack Snyder knows what he is doing and that this could potentially live up to the graphic novel. It has a hint of 300 in it, but I think that plays into the story and the action and that's a part of Zack Snyder's unique style. Definitely check this out and let us know what you think!
A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, the film is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the Watchmen?
