It seems more as an observation of humanity than it does a comic book and even though Zack Snyder could not put every single detail into the movie (or else it would have been a 6 1/2 hour movie) and he had to make a few changes because of those omitted details it still keeps the spirit and intelligence of the graphic novel.

I read it recently; it's going to be hard to adapt it into a movie, but after seeing that trailer it seems Zak Snyder has at least got the aesthetics pretty much perfect. It was funny; when I was in the theatre, waiting for the Dark Knight to begin, I saw the beginning of the trailer when it says "Everything you know will change" or something. I leaned over to my companion to say something like "if I see one more trailer that claims something like that, I'm going to explode," when I saw the guy in the chamber get turned into bluish dust. At that instant, I knew what preview I was watching, and almost all of my fears about the movie were allayed. (The shipwreck comic book is going to be difficult to work in, as are some of the somewhat-extraneous characters; there's a big cast, with lots of names to remember if they try to do the entire script...). Anyway, I can't wait... Amen to Watchmen.
