I believe it's been moved back to 5 am GMT tomorrow, or midnight EST, in line with the American opening tonight of The Dark Knight. Two reasons to live.

That sucks... it was there, I swear 
Doc Manhattan looks amazing and the whole thing looks absolutely epic- it's definitely worth the wait. You'll also see a small close-up snippet of Rorschach's mask effect- looks as though it's cotton-like and the black pattern kind of spreads like liquid seeping into it. Seriously cool! |

I believe you. Many at aintitcool.com have reviewed the trailer and gave it a huge thumbs up. Best comment I read: "I think I peed my pants a little."
Will try again at home. Off to see George Michael tonight! |

Awesome. It's the best trailer since the first teaser for The Phantom Menace.

Trailer definitely exciting!
Then, I put into the mix:
Gilliam and Aronofsky once attached to direct.
Ends up with Snyder -- the - and I quote - "visionary" director of 300. Oy!
Trailer makes it look like a semi-retro cross between Blade Runner and Clockwork Orange. Well, a bit. It's prob'ly a boy thing
At least it evokes great comic-book art without that tortuous inyerface Dick Tracy thang 
Bring it on, baby!

Well, if you're after 2 hours of women talking about how stupid men are and shopping then probably not There's some pretty strong female characters in it however- it's not your typical "Kerpowee" comic book that usually gets this kind of budget. |

| Loved it. Hope the movie holds up. Snyder is absolutely right for the project, which is probably 75% greenscreen. |

Well, I opted out of seeing SatC and had great fun watching Iron Man, but I'm not really much into the comic book films. Sure, Superman and Batman are fun, but I like those because they have enough tongue in cheek to keep me from feeling slapped in the face with it all. I did notice that woman in the trailer, but damn if they didn't make her look like she was some S&M queen, and frankly it was distasteful to look at and made me uncomfortable (as in, "ouch, that must be painful to wear!"). Don't get me wrong, I like good strong females in action movies, but there's a fine line between strong and raunchy, and that trailer made me feel they crossed it.
(She will, however, pull in all the pimply faced nurds and geeks, I'm sure.)

| I'm not that impressed. I wouldn't have minded a bit more dialogue and *cough* acting in the trailer rather than epic greenscreen images and a dozen slow motion explosions and action sequences. Makes it look like a retro Matrix movie. Ok, Dr Manhattan looks absolutely perfect, as does Rorschach, but I hated 300, I really did, and I have fears of similar infantile cheese stinking out this most serious and sublime of graphic novels. It's a great story - not Baywatch - so excessive slow mo is not required. Hopefully it's just a trailer thing. |

I think they went the right way with just showing a teaser, and having absolutely no allusions whatsoever to the overall plot. I doubt many people would make the connection between Jon Osterman's disintegration and Captain Manhattan.
I, too, disliked 300 instensely, but I know people who are working on this thing (and they vouch for Snyder's vision), I have read the shooting draft, and I have now seen the trailer. It looks prettay, prettay, prettay good.
Having said that, you might be disappointed if you don't like Snyder's signature slow-motion-till-point-of-impact-and-BAM style, which he will be using (though not as much as he did in 300).

I feel horrible, I have never heard of this project (or subject) before.
I'll check out the "awesome" trailer soon. |

ok, i didn't piss myself, but i did feel tingly.
it looks faithful to the comic, but i have my doubts. the original was a 12-issue series. no way they're getting all that in 2.5 hours, generally my threshold for "is-this-wrapping-up-soon?". i think it would have worked much better as a cable miniseries. but the trailer does look gorgeous. |
