New trailer. I was pretty game for this movie cuz it looked interesting and I like Jackman..but damnit...they put a kid into it. Granted, I was sure it wasn't going to be groundbreaking storywise but damnit...it's more cliched w/ the kid. If it was just the Jackman character and the robot....I think I'd more entertained by the story.

Just a thought on the premise, I assume America rules the world because of their invincible robotic army, right? I mean I think if you're going to spend millions of dollars on robots you're going to use them for something other than beating the shit out of each other.

It's a movie clearly inspired by Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. The less you think about the premise, the less you'll hurt yourself.
The teaser looked like a fun silly movie. The trailer gives me the same vibe. I won't be in a hurry to see it but I will see it (most likely when it hits BD).

I dunno...the teaser gave me fun silly movie premise vibe. The Trailer gives me a father and son becoming closer while also getting that robot to be a fighter worth winning. It really killed it for me.

What is Jackman doing in crap like this? How could he read the script and think this was a good idea? It may be silly fun, but it looks ridiculous, even when compared to Transformers. I bet the Transformers success is what spawned this.

Since when is Jackman known for being discerning about the scripts he chooses?

the one thing I find oft-putting about the trailer is how smug Jackman's character acts - I just want one of those robots to smack the frickin' smirk off his face. Supposedly some of the early reviews of the film are positive, despite the awful trailers.

i don't mind his character being smug even when he shouldn't be considering his bad luck. People like that exist.
