Hence, why he PURPOSELY casted everyone 10 years too young, then gave them makeup to try and sell them as older. If you'd read the comic, you'd understand this.

Snyder said he purposely casted younger actors so that they could play both the past and present, especially since in the comic, the flashbacks are what make it all so special anyway. This way, he can age up and age down the characters, or at least he hopes. That's a far better call than to cast different actors for different time periods. There's flashbacks.

Im hoping they didnt wreck such a incredible novel but I doubt Snyder would be dumb enough to do that. You dont fuck up Watchmen and walk away without a damaged career. But it still looks pretty sick so no worries. I didnt recognize some of the dialog and Iv read Watchmen at least three times.

It doesn't garner interest from those not in the loop, my wife can't seem to understand what's so great about it. I think Snyder and crew are garnering on the hope that comic book nerds with get all their nerd friends to see this flick, that and everyone who thought 300 was the greatest piece of cinema ever (far from it, however), and I'm sure it will work. I noticed the whole too-young actors as well... especially with Night Owl. He's supposed to be a bigger guy, not a guy with a gut, but an older guy who just has a bigger abdominal area. I'm sure the movie will work fine, but it's just slightly annoying for purists. Solid trailer.

By using such a young cast, at least 10 years too young, this seems to be something the film has working against it. There's also the ending that flew right over my head. I don't know. It looks beautiful but I'm still very skeptical. Another theme is that some of the heroes, particularly Night Owl, are at the end of their careers and past their prime.
