Watchmen: cool opening credits

The exceptional opening credits of «The Watchmen» are now available on the Internet: a 5-minute montage of an alternative history.

«The Watchmen» is the movie of the moment. Formerly considered as childish and B-grade, superhero movies are increasingly coming into their own. After the excellent «The Dark Knight», the ambitious «Watchmen» project also promises to be a baroque spectacle geared towards a grown-up audience, which presages the genre's evolutions towards «quality» productions.

The proof is in the first 5 minutes of Jack Snyder's movie, which shows an alternative history of the United States from the 1940's to the mid-80's.
