Everything you ever wanted to know about Watchmen the film.

Lá pelo meio, todo um magno lote de bons fatos para bailes de máscaras.

This is a good resource about the film version of Watchmen, although some of the time lines don't match at all (for example, the graphic novel says that Walter Kovacs was born in 1940, the film companion says he was born in 1942, and the movie says he was 35 in 1985, which makes him born in 1950).

While there is no doubt some very beautiful photography in this book, I was disappointed by how some of the characters were ignored. Rorschach and the Comedian both have several photographs in this book, but many of the main characters (Nite Owl II, Silk Spectre II, and Ozymandias) only have one photograph apiece in the entire book. Mothman, who doesn't even have a speaking part in the movie, has more photographs in the book than these three main characters. Moloch, who is a minor character in the story, has more photographs in this collection than all three of the aforementioned main characters combined. It's great if you wonder what extras look like, but if you're hoping for more focus on the main characters of the film, it's a letdown.
