I like the Hughes Brothers, loved "From Hell", and this has Denzel so....count me in. And that trailer looked pretty damn good. But 2010? Does that make anyone else feel old? Where did this decade go??

Trailer looks like fun. Honestly though, trailer or not, they sold me a ticket when they said 'Oldman' & 'The Hughes Brothers'.
Dead Presidents and Menace II Society are two of my favorite films.

Mila Kunis is in this? Since when is "being cute" a viable survival skill?

Honestly, it seems like a rehash of I Am Legend but I'm a big fan of Denzel so I'm in for watching it. But as Ryo says, the fight scenes worry me especially since Denzel isn't exactly as young as Will Smith

that trailer killed any momentum I had going for this movie. It wasn't bad, I just hope it doesn't turn out to be some dumb action flick. The Hughes Brothers are better than that.
Mila Kunis is hot, but I have no idea if she can actually act, doubtful. Alongside Denzel and Gary Oldman no less.
The best thing about the trailer is Gary Oldman, who looks like the main reason to see this film.

Fair warning: for anyone even the least bit spoiler-sensitive, I would recommend a complete avoidance of reviews and interviews for this film.
Intentionally or not, writers are going to spoil the stuffing out of this picture before it opens.

I want to see this but the choreography of Denzel's fight scenes remind me of 1980s/1990s action movie choreographed fight scenes. He just looks like an actor that didn't do much training. "Here take this sword, and swing it around."

You're going off of that as to why you won't see the movie. Silly. I'm definitely going to see it. Sometimes you need to actually SEE the movie to see how the story plays out and not a one sentence spoiler.
