The New York Times has published a great interview with Zack Snyder about ‘Watchmen‘.
In his first interview since the legal fate of the “Watchmen” movie was decided, Mr. Snyder spoke about the challenges of turning the much-revered comic book into a film, how his movie stacks up against””Christopher Nolan”s superhero epic “The Dark Knight,”“and his much-blogged-about decision to alter the ending of “Watchmen.” Excerpts from the interview follow. (This interview may contain spoilers for readers unfamiliar with the original graphic novel.)

Yeah I really wanna go see this movie. It looks awesome!
I want to be excited by The Watchman movie, but these phtoos make me dread it. everything is too shiny and over done. Nothing looks dirty, gritty or teetering on the brink of Apocalypse enough. Alan Moore adaptations have not fared well anyhow, League of Ex. Gents made me vomit in my mouth and V for Vendetta came out gayer than cum on a mustache. If there are at least some cool Rorschach scenes, maybe I won’t exit the theater and break my head completely in half on the sidewalk right in front of all the kiddies waiting to see Shrek 18.
