I looks very promising! It's a littlel loud so you might want to turn down your sounds a bit.

I would say that looks pretty darn good.

Hmm, well, not sure what to think. I know sometimes a trailer may be deceiving, but it sure looked dark and graphic with over choreographed moves mixed with slow motion effects. It looked very CGI-ish.
I'll wait for movie reviews before deciding.

Very much in the same vein as Frank Miller's other adapted work, Sin City.

Yes the graphic novel is very good. The art is a bit abstract but pretty darn awesome.

Ok I have watched the trailer and I think the CGI looking appearence is meant to reflect the visuals in the graphic novel. I recognized many scenes right out of the GN in fact, looks like a great adaptation. FMs adaptation is Historically accurate so don't expect that and you wont be let down.

Looks fantastic - some scenes reminded me more of Frazetta paintings than of Frank Miller. I'll definitely go and see this one!

Thanks, yours and other comments here explain a lot as to what I'm seeing. I'm not familiar with Miller's work or the latest GNs for that matter.

Yeah, this flick looks Billy-Bad Ass. According to Zack Snyder (director) they are keeping it as close to the graphic novel as possible. Now never reading it, I didn;t know quite what to expect but the trailer really has me convinced. This flick has got it all, buckets of blood, boobs and kick-ass action. I'll be there to see it.
