for me, I found this trailer to be dull and unexciting. It seems like a mix of Jumper, star wars and the matrix. Acting also looks pretty bad.

It all looks and sounds rediculously generic, like a few have said, it's the type of thing we've seen a million times before. BUT, I do like Chris Evans, I find him particularly charasmatic and likeable as an actor, and the trailer did pick up at the end, some of the action scenes looked pretty cool. I think it's basically going to be 2009's Jumper. Just a common or garden, brain dead action flick, padded out with some philosophical mumbo jumbo.
The director sounds as bad as that Tim Kring guy though, ''Comics, what are they then?'', ''X-men, never heard of it'', ''Heroes, ohh I saw 2.5 seconds of it, so I'm definitely not ripping that off''', I'm surprised he didn't add The Matrix to the list of things he's never ever heard of.

Cheesy? How's this look cheesy, it looks cool, so what if it's kinda like Heroes, Jumper or X-Men. We've seen it all before?? There's so many fuckin films that been done before, it doesn't mean it's goin to be shit.

Dakota Fanning seems to have been taking lessons at the 'Ellen Page School of Sounding Bored'

Ok - people with super abilities being tracked by the government to make into weapons. It HAS been done before. But both these main actors are great (Chris Evans is incredibly underated - See Sunshine for a fantastic performance), the story is just as interesting as other "comic-book" type films, and the effects look great. and for the record, I like Slevin a lot. Bruce Willis looks mint with a 'tash.

Looks pretty cool to me. I really like Slevin and as someone mentioned before, I think Chris Evans is underrated. He was great in Cellular and was the best thing in the FF films. Dakota is a fine actress and it will be interesting to see her in a more adult roll. Ok so the subject matter is hardly new but I reckon it will make a great evening at the cinema. I'll be there!
