  • On top of that, the CGI looks like silly.
Most of the stuff in that book couldn't be anything but CGI...Dr. Manhattan would look really, really stupid if he was just a guy painted blue, but they seem to have done really good job on him with CGI.

I pretty much died and went to heaven when I saw the trailer - as if I needed to be even more pumped before watching Dark Knight. It looks like they visually captured the book PERFECTLY. They didnt really show off much else, but the visuals couldn't be better, and Rorschach's voice was dead on.

The only thing that I dont like so far - and I've been saying this ever since they released the casting - is that the guy playing Ozymandias looks like a pussy. I'm sure he must be a great actor for the part or else Snyder wouldn't have cast him, but man...Veidt is an Olympic caliber athlete. This guy looks like a strong breeze would take him out.
