Haven"t seen it yet and will probably still do so, but that is the general feedback I"m hearing on it too Mary.  Shame, looked cracking in the trailer.

Without putting any spoilers out there I would say if you haven"t heard anything about the film then I imagine it would be very good, but having heard a little about it, it all seemed so predictable.

One more for the list.

Jack Reacher

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v9mtaMotF4[/youtube]


This trailer just seems wrong.

I have a real problem with the miniscule Tom Cruise playing someone who is 6" 5" in the novels when he"s nearly a foot shorter than that.

Reacher in Lee Child"s books is a bada** mofo who doesn"t own a car or, in fact, much of anything preferring not to be tied down with actual possessions that he can"t leave at a moment"s notice.

Cruise can do "intense" but he"s not a physical presence.

I"ll go though.

I"ve read all the Reacher books and have an image in my mind of what he should look like on the big screen - and Tom Cruise definitely isn"t it. Worst casting ever !

Cruise is totally wrong for that role, based on the books.  But I guess for film goers who aren"t familiar with the books, he will probably do a very good job and of course he is big box office.

I love the book series and always pictured Lawrence Dallaglio as Reacher.

I thought Prometheus was both really good (superb world creation/visuals by Ridley Scott again) and really disappointing (almost no character development at all, and not nearly enough scary/jumpy moments).  It could have been so much better, but it was a tough ask to live up to Alien.

Has anyone watched the World War Z trailer in this thread? It"s fake.  You can see lots of movies spliced together in the clip to make the visuals.  Nice work though.

Oh, and if I can, here"s one I"m looking forward to.
