First trailer for MM. Impression, it looks ok, but lacks magic. Now its way too early to know, but i am not a good enough person to wish this film a big success. Sorry ....
I just hope the movie comes together a bit better than this trailer did. What we see above isn’t bad by any stretch, but it feels like it’s missing that one bit of magic that makes everything click.

..and after watchiung this trailer, I am much more relaxed. It feels bloodless. I hope, in the end, we will be glad, he didn't do it.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Ah, I hadn't realised - I thought Damon was DC's replacement. Thanks for correcting me, Tampatampa wrote:It looks like they are trying to do a WW2 version of Oceans 11 which undermines the serious story. Seems like a bad decision. Damon was said to have included DC when he noted the cast in some early interview before DC dropped out, so its unlikely they have the same part.

I was very excited about Monuments Men when it was first talked about ... but the trailer is ... YAWN!!! I agree that it feels like Oceans Eleven set in WWII. It lacks substance / grit... that certain 'punch' that you need in a war movie. And I've never understood the appeal of Matt Damon OR George Clooney. Neither of them are great actors (IMO) and I don't find either of them "sexy" either. It might have turned out to be another film on Daniels CV (like Invasion) where he was / is the best thing about it. Maybe he had a lucky escape after all...

I kinda doubt it, because when Damon came into the picture, shortly afterwards Daniel was officially out. I think, its pretty easy to make them american or british - whatever. Personally I am sure, Damon came for Daniel. Could be wrong, of course.
