i was surprised to see the hulk trailer so high on the list, it was a pretty revealing trailer as far as action goes though. i had no doubts that ledger and the dark knight would be excellent after that first trailer. i bet watchmen will be the 'dark knight' of 09'. at least as far as quality comic book movies go, getting that half billion domestically probably won' happen though because it' rated 'r'. i'm glad they didn;t censro it though, a pg-13 watchmen would have to leave out a lot of vital scenes, or at least play tricks to avoid the rating. dark knight was perfect though, i never felt like a scene would have been better in an 'r' rated version, and i only noticed one minor cuss word throughout the whole film (the 'd' word, form gordon while two-face has a gun to his son). making true drama absent the even a little pottymouth is an acheivement in itself. __________________

I really believe that drama can be told without cussing. There are sometimes when cussing makes a scene seem obviously fake just to please the teenagers that like that sort of thing.
