I don't believe it! Fox seem to have now blocked the original video for copywrite violation! It's a promo trailer for their gorram movie! are these people stupid or what???

Ahem.

Don't mean to lean on the rules, but... FOX?

The guys who cancelled Firefly?

You're surprised?

I am hoping this to be good but not expecting it to be. I am really looking forward to Boneshaker as well. Not many Weird West films out their that are good. Jonah Hex started out good and went down hill halfway through the film. Still slightly enjoyed it however.

Probably will not make any effort to see it in theaters but will wait until it is released on DVD/Blu Ray. Hopefully Zorro isn't bad but again I am not expecting it to be great or anything.

I have not seen Exit Humanity as of yet but I do have high hopes for that film.

I can't wait to see this. I don't have high expectations, but the concept (I know there's a book but I wasn't aware of it until recently) is so unique and odd ball that it just seems there is no way the movie could fail at being entertaining.

Well the wife and I have changed our minds. We will go and see this in the theater. Really looking forward to it in fact. Wish I had time to read the book but have been and will be very busy between now and then. A few close friends highly recommended reading it.

Crossing my fingers on this one!

I am eagerly awaiting this film, though I am by no means expecting it to be good, I am prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt none the less.

Saw the trailer when we went to see Prometheus on Saturday (in 3D - my first time ever!  I wore glasses over glasses - and outside the confines of the Kettering Odeon I would have been arrested).  Looks like it's one of those films that does exactly what it says on the tin.  And that's no bad thing.  Waiting for P&P&Zs as the Professoress is a big Jane Austen fan.  What's that sound of something turning very fast under the ground?  Jane Austen ... vampire!

even said that some of the action and CGI was poorly done

I will save my money and wait for the "Team of Rivals" movie

It's certainly had mixed reviews from some of the folks I know who've seen it. But that said it seems to be one of those Marmite movies. I suspect I'll enjoy it personally because once again I will view it as simply a fun ride, but I wouldn't expect too much substance.

Saw it this afternoon~ I'd say that was an afternoon well spent! I thoroughly enjoyed it (although it did feel over-long). There's some gorgeous cinematography, although one or two of the set pieces are overblown. It's not without it's flaws, but really, if you're wanting an entertaining film then that's what it is- entertainment.

The Great Emancipator at one of his finer fictional roles I'd imagine.

Now if only we could get these guys to do a Screw-On Head movie.

My father and I went to see it dressed up all fancy. It was a fun waste of a few hours. The film was nothing more or less than what it had promised to be.
