As a teaser, this really disappoints! I don't find it, at all easy, to believe in Brad Pitt's character. He doesn't seem convincing on any level; the accent is off, the physical delivery is off, and his level of sincerity, definitely, is off! On a technical level, the teaser is lacking, also. The cutting between image and text is not tight enough. There is most definitely a lack of audio effects - in the right places! We start off with some nice ones, however, as the trailer progresses, they seem few-and-far between. Not sure whether this was intentional, but it just doesn't work. I can see why there's a jarring cut into the "NEIN NEIN NEIN" shot, but it doesn't deliver, the way it should have. Perhaps it's something to do with the build up, of the trailer, itself. If Sally Menke cut this trailer, then she needs a good-spank! Personally, I reckon, Robert Rodriguez should have cut this. In fact, he should cut all of QT's trailers. I bet he would have kicked-some-ass with the audio effects and thus put some life into this so-called teaser! I'm a big QT fan, but, at the end of the day, if he f***s up as a Director, he should be told. Just like, if he does something well, he should be praised. It's all fair, that way. The actual movie could be amazing, which I surely hope it is, but this doesn't excuse the fact that Tarantino has tried to make a really commercial trailer after the box office failure of DP. He just didn't pull it off. It's just what I think, really.
