As fans of Watchmen pray the movie is actually released in March - a lawsuit is brewing between Fox and Warner Bros. - at least one director has already seen the comic book adaption.

And he loves it.

Kevin Smith - who was invited to see the film at Zach Snyder’s invitation shortly after Comic-Con last month - has posted a rave review for it on his MySpace account. The writer/director, who's next film is Zack and Miri Make a Porno, wrote:

I saw Watchmen. It’s f---ing astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off.

Remember that feeling of watching Sin City on the big screen and being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you’ll come close to watching Watchmen.

Movie critics have already raved about The Dark Knight.

Director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) just saw the film and he raved about it on his blog.

"Courtesy of Peter Sciretta over at SlashFilm.com, I caught an early screening of "The Dark Knight" yesterday evening.Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that's not an overstatement).

It might not be humanly possible to look forward to a movie more than we're looking forward to The Dark Knight.

It's the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and f-ck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn't so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but he'll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor.

F-cking flick's nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece."

Seth Rogen has already made on-screen love to Katherine Heigl, getting busy in some of the most awkward, amusing sex scenes in recent history.

Turns out that with those absurd antics and Knocked Up quotes, the rotund and hilarious 25-year-old actor (below) was just getting started.

In Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a new comedy directed by Kevin Smith slated for a 2008 release, Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks play Zack and Miri, two childhood friends who agree to make a porno to get out of debt.

The two pals are then forced to re-evaluate their previously platonic relationship, naturally. The Hollywood Reporter first reported Seth Rogen's involvement in the raunchy sex comedy from a director certainly experienced in the genre.

Seth Rogen: Never a dull moment on screen.

"Getting Seth in [Zack and Miri Make a Porno] is like suddenly growing an extra six inches in the crotch, so to speak," the always well-spoken Kevin Smith said. "Castwise, I'm now extremely well-hung."

So well put.
