Judging from just the trailer, looks like the twist is she’s the wolf. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. (You can thank me for saving you the $12 later).

Sorry if anyone reading worked on this, but it looks dumb as hell.

If they cast Amanda Seyfried as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, it would have been quite faithful to the 1992 version. She looks exactly like Pfeiffer.

Does this strike anyone else as completely foolish? Must be some kind of village to have such an incongruous mix of accents. Hope they’ve legalized reefer by the release date.
And why does Catherine H need to have her name three times on the credit card?

Exactly….Pick an accent, please. This kind of thing drives me bonkers.

Because she still believes that SHE actually made a good movie with Twilight and is responsible for its success. And is pissed that she got fired and wants to show the world, it really was her stellar visionary directing that made the franchise such a hit. And she can do it again damnit!

Can we just ban all contemporary American accents from period or period fantasy films? It smacks of Kevin Costner in Robin Hood.

Oh brother. Hey Warner Bros studio execs and marketing department…
Putting a Nine Inch Nails song over this weak terrible trailer is not going to help anything… Nine Inch Nails does not make you or this movie look hip or cool… It makes you look really old, out of touch and lame. The teens, girls, and Twilight fans you are going for are going to roll their eyes and laugh at you for being so out of touch and they not going to come out to see this.

It was annoying that they didn’t remove the vocals when the music was played underneath the dialogue. I don’t like the audio-mix of this trailer.

Looks like Twilight 2.0. Same love triangle and same style.

Warner Bros has the absolute worst looking and most outdated marketing.

After the first trailer this film looked dreadful.
Now, with the second trailer…I think our worst fears have been confirmed.

I was looking forward to this, but…
… is it just me or does this look like it was made for daytime television?
And what’s the tone here? Tinker toy set meets heavy metal score?
yikes!

Meh…the costumes look OK… but this “village” is so obviously shot on an indoors soundstage it’s not even funny.
PASS

Wow – what a turd. How did Amanda Seyfried get roped into this? “Twilight” meets “Sleepy Hollow”?

Way to slut up a children’s fable, Hollywood!
Now if you can throw in some glow sticks with that music I’ll dance for everyone.

“From the director of ‘Twilight’”. Well, that seals it.
Noticed that it’s not “Little Red Riding Hood” – cuz Little Red Riding Hood wouldn’t be getting laid down and hammered in the snowy forest. And not by the wolf, either. Those damn Twihards expect so much flesh in their “movies” these days…
I used to have respect for Gary Oldman – before this and ‘The Fifth Element’. Bills piling up, Gary?

WHAT THE FUDGE! Mr Cranky, foolish is an understatement. The high octane rock music, the melodrama, the horror, the odd line from the fairy tale – it looks like a car crash. The accents are the least of these films worries. Whether it’s reefer or something else, this looks like a DSS film. Don’t See Sober.

Looks like a piece of crap. When I saw the first 30 seconds of the trailer for “Hanna” starring Saoirse Ronan, I thought, “Finally! A cool, modern update of the Little Red Riding Hood story!” Then I realized that it was the wrong movie. LOL. Yet another dumb movie from Julie Yorn. Figures.

Oh. Dear. Lord.
“Revenge Of The Sith” dialogue, please meet my guest, inappropriate music – and this is? ‘Oh, sorry, I should have introduced myself, I’m overt symbolism’ Charmed I’m sure.

Looks silly and amateurish. I wouldn’t pay to see this.

Amanda Seyfried is the real deal, one of the most extraordinary actresses to come along in years. I will see this movie because she’s in it, she elevates everything she’s in and I don’t expect this to be an exception. Besides, it looks like good, campy fun. Did anyone see “Chloe”? She was phenomenal. Thank God “All My Children” didn’t know what to do with her and she left to launch the career she has today!

If you think about it, with all the disjointed, well everything people are going to snark about, it might just add up to a hit. Don’t underestimate the youth market and thier “hunger” for this type entertainment.

Usually, the second trailer is better than the first as it helps to build momentum for the film.
Certainly, that is not the case for this film.
omg!
