As usual, it tells too much. But a handsome-looking film.

I don't know; Casey Affleck's voice was getting on my nerves by the end of the trailer, which does not bode well for the film. Never been a fan of his, which is a shame, because this looks like a very good movie.

I agree. That is quite possibly an Oscar-winning movie. They should shorten the title though, probably to just The Assassination of Jesse James.

It's a quote from a folk-song, I think.

Yeah, I just read that in the Good/Bad Title discussion. Even so, Brad Pitt+Western=win.

He's going to be nominated for an Oscar, he's that good in the role. I really liked the movie, but it's a slow burn leading up to the inevitable release. To me, the last 20 minutes of the movie (sans James) are the most interesting. That said, Pitt is awesome in this, but Affleck just steals it from him.

The trailer sold me on seeing the film.

Even though it's quite annoying, I think Casey's choice to give his character
a whiny voice adds a lot. We already know he's a coward, but now he's a WHINY
coward!

Looks like Brad has another hit on his hands. That trailer gets across the idea that this is a big, important movie with great images and interesting characters. What more could you want? And (drum roll) based on a true story. I'm there.

Specifically, it adds an incentive for me to not see the movie. tongue Which frees up a seat for all you other people, I guess, so whatever. tongue

Do they make movies in Hollywood any more in which they don't cast Terrence Howard?

This one looks pretty good. The comedy looks top-notch, but I'm still not totally sold on the other, more important aspects of the film.

I'm just going to look the other way and try to pretend they didn't use the song "Iron Man". plain

Other than that, a solid trailer. They seem to have nailed Tony Stark's character, and the armor looks great. It's hard to judge whether the dramatic aspects will be any good, but my interest is certainly piqued.

Good trailer. Can't wait for the film.

And how could they not use the song Iron Man?
