Has anyone else read Watchmen and/or seen the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation? I was wondering what people thought of either.

I saw the trailer for the first time before Dark Knight, and was blown away. I was in a large theater with 850 other people and the crowd applauded it. I even went home and downloaded the 1080p trailer for it, transferred it to my Tivo, and I think I've watched it at least a couple dozen times.

This prompted me to finally get around to reading the book, which I've meant to for a while now. Wow. Not quite what I was expecting, that's for sure. Very dense, and I'm still trying to work out what it all means.

One thing's for sure, though, I've joined the multitude of comic readers who wonder how in hell they can turn that book into a movie. I'll probably be more interested in how it's adapted than the adaptation itself.

Thoughts?
