Hey Empire has a comic-trailer comparison
The song is "The End is the Beginning is the End" by the Smashing Pumpkins from their B-Track and Rarities, now available on iTunes I do believe.
Very happy to see it. I remember at comic-con last year Zack said if you didn't use the comic as a storyboard for the movie you were "full of shit". I guess he took that to heart.
I just wish they would've played it before I saw TDK on Tuesday.

Every interview and quote I've heard from Zack whatshisname on this movie has been awesome.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Check out 1:34 though. It's definitely him clobbering the gunman in the lobby, but he's wearing a suit rather than his costume. Hopefully that'll look better and will be used more in the film....
He just looks too boyish to be a guy in his late 30s or early 40s (even if he is a perfectly fit guy of that age).
Also, yeah the movie pretty much looks perfect. Just as I expected, Snyder nailed the visuals down perfectly and it seems like he's going to do the movie scene-for-scene identically to the comic, which is just what I wanted.
So, after reading the article, I take it the movie is going to be just as annoyingly pretentious as the comic?
Imagine that, they're actually making the movie for people who enjoyed the comic!

I wasn't going to watch this until I saw The Dark Knight on Saturday, but I figure it's better not to have too much awesomeness seen in one day. Better to space it out.
Looks like robins from Batman and Robin. But I think that was intentional. The costumes in the book took cues from the cheesy costumes of the 60s'-70's, the movie is doing the same using the older comic book movies. Pretty ballsy.

I'm curious, how exactly is it pretentious?
The whole "This is going to kick superhero movies in the balls and make people take them seriously because we're not some kiddy flick, we're rated R because we have penises and a guy who kills people and another guy who also kills people and rapes them and then makes them... fall in love with him... presumably by raping them and we have some guy who doesn't actually know how quantum physics works and anyway the point is that this movie is going to be so hardcore" thing screamed poser to me when I read Watchmen and I get the same feeling from reading that article.
But it sure does look pretty.

While racing light mechs, your Urbanmech comes in second place, but only because it ran out of ammo.
I think the music was very cool, and fitting for the feel of the novel/movie. I just looked up the lyrics, and they actually mesh surprisingly well with the story.
Also, the trailer itself was absolutely stunning. I could pick out exactly where in the comic almost every shot in the trailer originated. That alone says a hell of a lot for their faithfulness to the source material.
Love that scene with Dr. looking at his watch just before he gets ripped apart. I wonder if they'll include the inner monologue leading up to that. The line "The light...the light is taking me to pieces" always gives me chills.

The likelihood that this will be anything other than a complete travesty of the comic seems extremely low to me. But I will be very, very happy to learn that I'm wrong.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

The rest looks good, though. I'm surprised how well they made Doctor Manhattan look.
... Seriously.
Yeah really. I laughed a little when I saw him.
So, the trailer was pretty impressive.

I don't even like Watchmen that much but damn does this look promising.
And the EW article, with more pictures:

I mean, I guess he's proud of it. But still...
I echo the holy shit

They are.
It reminded me of Andy Sandberg's SNL parody of super hero music videos.
Anyway, visuals look good, but I'm still skeptical on their ability to cut the story down.

It's Smashing Pumpkins.
It's also the same song which was featured for Batman and Robin. Feel free to let that freak you out.
But yeah, loved the trailer aside from Ozymandis and the music was kinda meh.

I hope so because I totally just got spoilerfied if that's what happens.
Yeah, I've avoided Spoilers for Watchmen for this long.
I ordered it the other day.
