First seeing the trailer for the upcoming “Watchmen” adaptation on IMAX was nearly the most awe-inspiring moment I’ve ever experienced in the theater (aside from the two and half hours of brilliance proceeding it that was Dark Knight of course). I could feel the hairs on my arm raise as we got a glimpse of Dr. Osterman being vaporized and I could barely keep my mouth from hanging agape as scene after scene of epic asskickage was endlessly thrown at my eyeballs. A remixed version of The Smashing Pumpkins’ “The End is the Beginning is the End” gives this trailer the absolute perfect tone… and interestingly enough, though not very surprising, the sale of that song has boomed quite a bit on iTunes since the trailer’s debut on Friday. Hopefully future generations will remember that particular tune from this movie instead of the flick it was originally recorded for: “Batman & Robin”… because I have to say, if this trailer is any indication, we’re in for a hell of a good time when this movie drops next March.
