Yeah but the visuals in this one seem very ho-hum. I expected something far more pleasing to the eye than what I've seen in the posters and that clip. This looks very bland coming from him.

Considering that's recorded footage from a TV and the contrast is all over the place on that....it looks interesting and I'm pretty much game for it.

The trailer looks alright, but I think I've beat this game already.

Looks ok. But the fact that he uses an off the shelf Hone Depot sledge to break the big rock takes me right out of it. I have an older looking sledge hammer in my garage.

Meh. It looks like a rental. I expected something far more visually engaging from Tarsem. That looks like Zack Snyder crap.

It looked fine, but Tarsem's last two films were exceptionally visually arresting, with wonderful landscapes and costumes. This looks kinda neat, but not nearly as grand as The Fall or The Cell. I wonder did he find the 3D cramped his style.

a little disappointed... as i, too, was a huge fan of The Fall and The Cell visually. this looks like a 300 re-hash. i'd watch it just to see some awesome tidal wave action though... i'm a sucker for natural disaster, no matter how Roland Emmerich it may be.

This looks like a hybrid of 300 and The Cell to me. You can still see his art direction in many sequences, but the action sequences don't look particularly unique. And it seems kind of cheesy.

I've never seen anything like that Sistine Chapel-esque battle. I'll have to see it in the theatre. It looks better than 300 in every regard.

the only thing I am not of fan of in that trailer is that helmet Rourke has and the color tone for film (minor gripe actually...just...reminds me of 300 too much obviously)

on that note...I really wish they'd not put in that political crap in Sparta...that was boring as shit.

300 worked best as a trailer. It was a total bore as a full length feature. The political BS (which went nowhere) made it even worse.

I was hoping the new trailer would change my mind but that looks so unbelievably stupid. I know it must've been expensive as hell but it somehow has a cheap DTV feel to it.

I saw the trailer for IMMORTALS (in front of BRIDESMAIDS!). There was so much CGI, I thought, why bother with actors, why not just make an animated feature? Plus, the imagery was so friggin' dark. Did they not have color in Ancient Greece? No red, no blue, no yellow...just brown and gray???
Freida Pinto's hot, though.

I saw this trailer in front of The Tree of Life and it didn't do much for me. The heavy use of CGI and comparisons to 300 were real turn offs. However, I'll still check it out based on the strength on how visually interesting Tarsem's films usually are.
