Oh, I am impressed with the skill it took to conceive of and execute a shot like that, it’s just something about it in the trailer puts me off. I can’t really put into words why though.

I am still excited for the movie. The flying car chase looks like it will be cool, and it’s hard not to get excited to see Bill Nighy in any role (he’s quite fun in Wrath of the Titans).

I do hope that it is going to be R rated and have some of the comical violence of the first one.

Oh, and the holographic disguise shown at the end of the trailer looks pretty fun as well.

I love that shot! Would it sway your opinion if you knew it was 100% practical? Because I think it’s damned impressive.

I am all on board with the trailer until the shoot out scene where the camera pushes in/out while Farrell is beating people up. Something about that shot really puts me off. Weisman’s movies usually do have good action to them, but bad acting and writing.

Live Free was entertaining but stretched the limits of the punishment McClane could take just a bit to far for me (though it was better than 2)

Though, I am one of the few people who think the Verhoeven film is a near masterpiece (I love all his movies).

Two weeks…two weeks :)
I honestly didn’t think I would be looking forward to this, but if it is as good as advertised I’ll go for it.
