No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so defensive.

To be fair, he's only directed three movies since then. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which I think we all agreed that we're blaming Lucas. And then Tintin and War Horse. I wasn't crazy about either of those, but neither film was bad.

sshuttari · 08-09-2012, 10:13 AM

Tin Tin was decent but hardly worth writing home about.

Justin · 08-09-2012, 03:53 PM

I liked Tintin for what it was, but they sort of missed the point of the series....which is the mystery. They made it more like Indiana Jones. This is coming from a fan of the comic series too...

sshuttari · 08-09-2012, 05:27 PM

Coming from a director who did "Indiana Jones" I see why he went down that road. But sadly... Tin Tin was better than Kingdom of Krystal Skull

**JBond** · 08-09-2012, 05:47 PM

Tin Tin was awful. Everything's better than Indy 4. (If they wanted me to type out that huge title every time, they should have made a better movie.)

Yeah, I know, but Tintin is a comic series that relies heavily on mystery and suspense. This was wall-to-wall action with zero emphasis on plot.

sshuttari · 08-10-2012, 12:01 AM

Never read the comics... But I'll take your word for it

Lead up teaser trailer to the actual trailer (I know):

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

Actual trailer will come on the 13th.

yeah i smell another oscar win for DDL

FranklinTard · 09-13-2012, 10:20 PM

Trailer just screamed Oscar bait, not sure I'm sold, but I like the voice.

Neverending · 09-13-2012, 11:13 PM

Not only is it Oscar-bait, but it reminds me of Amistad. Remember that Amistad was supposed to be "the schindler's list of slavery" but 90% of the film took place in a court house and everyone thought it was boring as f--k? I'm getting the same vibe from the trailer. If the movie is mostly Lincoln in the oval office arguing with his staff, I can see this being less-than-stellar.

Knerys · 09-14-2012, 12:03 AM

Not quite feeling it....which sucks because I'm really looking forward to this.

There you have it - we hoard old famous **** so that celebrities can be entitled to come along and play with them.

Nick1988 · 09-14-2012, 01:04 AM

I was a bit thrown off by the voice, not that i have ever heard Lincoln speak, in the trailer he didn't sound i like i envisioned, but regardless this gets a gurantee Academy award nominee for DDL. I agree though, this movie does look like it might end up being pretty boring.

**JBond** · 09-14-2012, 02:10 AM

Yeah, this movie could be boring.

Surely there's a middle ground.
