My brother woke me up this morning to get me to watch this trailer.

"Titans. Will. Clash."

Seriously?

That's the best they could come up with? I know it's a teaser trailer but come on, put some effort into it. That'd be like having a Batman movie with the tagline "Man. Is. Bat."

I have a fiery burning hard-on for him as much as the next guy but he could do better than this. Even "Taken" looked better than this pile of CG-ploding crap.

Then again, I said the same thing about 2012 and that made $60 million its opening weekend.

Honestly, I don't really know what to tell about this film.  Apparently it has the Gorgon and... a bunch of giant scorpions... and a wall of water. 

I see a pack of a Titan thing and then another Titan thing then, maybe Poseidon gets pissed?

It could have action (awesome or suck).  It could have boobs (awesome or more awesome).  It could have gigantic CG gods (suck or... possibly okay).

I have no frickin clue.  Except it has that guy from Mystery Men and Last of the Mohicans with the acne scars.

Wes Studi?  According to IMDB, he ain't in this...I think you're thinking of Pete Postlethwaite.

True.  Middle aged, stern, and scarred.  Kinda bad-assed.

There was, literally, one spoken sentence in that entire trailer.

And yet I bet there are, like, ten names on the screenwriting credits.

For some reason I thought "Oh, this was only the best movie ever when I was small (upon re-watching it it is still awesome), so they can't fuck this up too badly!"


HOW WRONG I WAS!

Nah - to get the full effect of that watch "Battles B.C." on the History Channel. 

Kind of interesting to see depictions of Moses as a military commander and David as a successful, but petty warlord.

looks pretty good to me.   the trailer gave me the same feeling of 'new and hip' like the new star trek movie.  which isn't really a good thing.

Well, Slayer, Megadeth and Testament are touring together at the start of next year (maybe with High on Fire?), so that's pretty close.
