I am still to see the Watchmen movie. I really want to see this movie. But because of the 18 certificate I doubt i'll see it 'til the DVD is out, although I suspect it will be a great Blu-Ray experience. But I went looking for friends that would be interested in seeing it expecting no one wanting to see it because none of my friends are into super hero movies or any comics. But when I was asking around it turns out a lot of my friends want to see it.At first I assumed this was because MCR were on the soundtrack but to my suprise it was because they thought the trailer looked good. But the biggest reason was because they loved The Dark Knight. This left my shocked because these where people that would rather jump of a bridge than read a comic or see a super hero movie. But because they had seen The Dark Knight they wanted to see more.
So perhaps bigger audiences are being drawen into the media of super hero movies through the more popular super hero movies. This seems like it is obvious that they people will the be interested in getting more comic book based stuff. I hope this is the direction the movies are moving in.
Or this could all be 'cause Gerald Way wrote the Umbrella Academy.
