These are our modern myths, and they should be respected for something other than marketing tools. I miss the real ending from the comic book.

The big problem with 300 is that it was waay too accurate to Frank Miller's comic book, and therefore exposed Frank Miller's limitations as a writer and magnified them about a billion times. Seeing as how Watchmen has had it's script re-written a bunch of times and the entire project put on hold and handed to different producers over the years suggests it will end up like the other movies that have been adapted from Alan Moore's comics, like V for Vendetta or From Hell. Entertaining and mildly interesting, but not in the same league as Dark Knight or The Incredibles. Just a guess.
