POINT 1. Alan Moore is one of the most acomplished interesting and downwright genial writer's in comics/novels and performance acts. He's also quite a funny and preposterous guy at tat.
POINT 2. It is impossible to realistically adapt ANY of the major comic books Alan Moore ever wrote to film, nless producers are prepare to ingress in a major series of fims/sequels.
POINT 3.Any single film trying this will either fall short of the book it adapts (if it's good, wich hasn't be the case in any of them), or be a total mockery of the core of the written works (which is exactly wha happened with: "From Hell (the 2nd worst adaptation)","V for Vendetta"(a loosely based adaptation on a book of the same name...and also an entertaining, if hollow, film) and the just laughable LOEG movie adaptation, which isn't even worth talking about. And I don't even won't to remember "Swamp Thing" the movie, from the 80' (UGH...)

That said, bare in mind that seeing Watchmen might be the first movie that DOESN't make a complete hash of things, but also won't be anythin like the masterpiece that the graphic novel is...and it really is. It's just a compromise of fanboys and a big studio production cashconverter. Think of a "MAUS" adapted to cinema by Disney or Pixar... you'll get an idea.

Untill HBO ge's the rights to adapt even a single Moore book, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

PS:now reading "Voice in The Fire", it seems pretty good, but not my favourite, at least comparing with "Snakes & Ladders"... And "FROM HELL" is a mandatory piece of work.
