The thing I am most worried about is that Watchmen is not action driven. Dawn and 300 on the other hand are almost exclusively action driven with a less than compelling plot tacked on. Not only that but this time Snyder is adapting a graphic novel without the benefit of Frank Miller's film friendly art style.
Basically I think Watchmen is a piece of work that deserves to be handled by somebody like James Cameron who has proved (with Terminator and T-2) that he can direct a film where the plot drives the action.

Great observations Bird! Like when someone matches directors up with stories correctly.
I think your nerves are unwaranted though.
Snyder hasnt gotten less adept as hes gone along. Actually I would trust
Snyder over Cameron because Camerons character development skills are lacking.
In Titanic the movie truly intrigued you once the ship hit the berg.
T2 Arnold and Edward Furlongs interaction was strained. I believe Snyder adapted Dawn, and made it his own
rather than Romeros. He could pull off a hat trick.
