Bruh I think they gave away the first 80% of the movie in near enough chronological order

Yeah trailers are ridiculous these days. It’s the first 2 acts spelled out in sequence, and spoilers for last act. I’d rather get just an ambiguous flavour of the thing

I think that’s more Denzel just being Denzel. You don’t want the Macbeth version of Denzel here, Macbeth didn’t work for most. So here he has to show a little of his known personality, rulers back then I’m sure had their own flavor to their personalities.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Pedro Pascal in Game Of Thrones and The Mandalorian (even though he's only in a few episodes of the former and you hardly ever see his face in the latter; I'll admit I haven't watched The Last Of Us), but somehow I doubt he'll be able to give as magnetic a performance as Russell Crowe.

[@maxnewlander3639]

This trailers sums up Hollywood perfectly. First a sequel we didnt want or need, and to a film that 100% was a standalone story. The trailer itself is bloated. 3mins? (Bet the film will be 3hours plus) Far too much going on. Somersaulting away from a CGI Rhino… I am almost 99.9% sure that NONE of these characters/actors will get even remotely close to portraying performances as good as Russell, Joaquin, Oliver or Richard’s from the original. Also like the Force Awakens, this is just a soft reboot. Looks like it will be a Box Office Bomb, as I don’t suspect many people will be that interested in this…

[@SandymoorFerrariClub]

I could take your comment more seriously if you hadn't said you were 99.9% certain that Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal would be unable to put in performances anywhere near as good Russell, Joaquin, Oliver or Richard's. I happen to think that 2 times oscar winner Denzel is a pretty good actor.

@@SandymoorFerrariClub TBF, you can think what you like. I am 99.9% sure they won’t get remotely close to the performances of the first film, mainly because I think this film will be shite, and will be a poor imitation of the first film (happy to be proven wrong, but I’m about 99.9% certain I won’t be).

I’m kind of surprised someone like Ridley Scott was up for this. It has the feel of “let’s all go back to Gladiator-land, we’ve got all the trimmings!”.
