True…I feel, though, like Iron Man was a relatively unknown commodity when it first started being marketed, but it turned out to be one of the biggest comic-to-film successes ever.

I agree that it all depends on how they market it. They have to do a good job of showing that this isn’t just some new superhero team or superhero movie, that there’s a lot more to it than your standard comic-based story. I think, too, that Joe Watchmen Fans (like me) and others like him will be out there actively talking up this film to their friends. I would also expect some mass market paperback re-release of the original material emblazoned with a “soon to be a major motion picture!” sticker. We’ll see…

I couldn’t tell you how the “general reaction” is… Although I know very little about Watchmen, I at least knew what it WAS when I first saw the trailer.

Watching it on the big screen yesterday with a bunch of people that may or may not know anything about it… There didn’t seem to be much stir during or after the trailer, like you’d expect there to be for an upcoming movie that was highly anticipated. We’ll see how they continue to market it over the next several months.

I never told you; I got Watchmen from the library and read it last month. Overall, I thought it was fantastic (even though the ending left me a little dissatisfied).
But I am completely amazed by this trailer! I’ve read that Snyder has been very faithful to every detail of the story and it obviously shows. I’ve pretty excited for this now.
