Before director Zack Snyder made waves with
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he helmed
Watchmen, a film almost directly adapted from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal graphic novel from 1986. While the adaptation didn't fare so well financially, it earned a lot of praise from fans for sticking as close as it could to the comic, a feat which didn't seem possible for many.
Of course, the film wasn't without its problems either, something that
Screen Junkies hasn't forgetten. The channel has now taken aim at the film with their usual hilarious fashion. Check out their Honest Trailer for
Watchmen below!
"Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" -- which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union -- is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the masked vigilante Rorschach, washed up but determined, sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion -- a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers -- Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?
