Isn’t the pleasing Moore thing about how a story that is written basically for a comics medium is then being transfered to a new medium film, which is completely different. Where will the comic within a comic fit in to the film? Where will the typography at the end of each chapter fit into the movie? This is where the reader learns the history of the characters and the world in which they live and removing these change the mood of the story. How are they going to compress a book that is incredibly long into the movie that will be incredibly short in comparison? Unless it is divided into more parts then one. 300 was about twenty pages and it took the director about 2 hours to explain. All the characters are not spot on unless the movie will be a cartoon. Making a comic real loses a sense of connectedness to the characters. The story will be a completely different story then watchmen but it will have the same characters shown in different lights. I will probably see it though to see if it is a well done movie. Please read Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud or some other media gurus not journalism media but television versus books or comic book. Just one more point a comic is in your hands you can spend 5 seconds to 10 minutes on a single frame then move at your own pace to the next one but a film goes at the directors pace and not your own and you can not go back and look again unless you rewatch it or rewind it or slowmo it but comics are completely different because it only takes a flip of the page to go back and learn rather then having to watch the whole movie again.
