In a ruling that could delay the release of one of the most anticipated movies of next year -- and subsquently send every fanboy leaping from the rooftops -- a judge decided yesterday Fox does indeed own rights in the upcoming "Watchmen" film.
Long story short -- Fox acquired the rights in the 1980s for producer Larry Gordon. After a few botched attempts to make the movie, Gordon partnered up with Warner Brothers. But, Fox argued, Gordon never acquired the full rights to the property from Fox -- thus the lawsuit.
The movie, based on a hugely popular graphic novel, is set to come out in March -- if the two sides can resolve their dispute before then.

Yeah the previous comment holds really true. Though the movies tries in totally different perspective, the book seems really great and interesting.
This movie is gonna tank like a rock in the Pacific. Can you say stinkeroo?
Mix It Up: Do you even know what the heck you are talking about? Perhaps you should stick to reviews of pedantic superhero movies like "Spider Man". Or maybe you could you know, read a book.
just because watchmen isnt as well known as something like batman or spiderman doesnt mean it will be bad. some of the greatest pieces of art in existent flew under the radar for quite some time before they ever emerged into the mainstream. take some time to do some proper research. if you dont like it thats ur opinion, however i do not recommend attacking a keyboard everytime you want one of your opinions heard. you wont change anybodys mind.
