I watched this trailer last night, it looks pretty cool and cant wait to see it. A bit a fun, nothing serious. When I first heard it was getting made I thought it would be rubbish but Tom Hardy is a really great actor. He was amazing in Batman. i think hes underrated too, hes played alot of different roles, hes brilliant in Stuart a life backwards, which is a tv film he did with Benidict Cumberbatch, sad film though.
Is the main guy supposed to be Rakatansky, or just another broken drifter with half a heart and will for revenge? The trailer looks cool, but lacks the grit and realism of the first three, particularly the first two. I'll watch it as I have other re-boots for the sake of it, but I have my doubts as Space Cadet opined above. To be clear, I don't think movies suck, and digital effects can be cool, Thor in 3-D was pretty epic, but to take a trilogy with no digital effects and make an add-on that's seemingly all digital effects presents challenges in maintaining continuity(I'm looking at you, George Lucas).
