I'm noticing that folks who have SEEN the movie like it, while all of the negative posts seem to be from those who have only seen one trailer...
There's a TON of material on the web already, and based on what's been shared so far, this does actually look like something different and worthwhile. Forget about the source material if you want to (Apparently the Wachowskis are big fans, and put enough of their own childhood fandom into the property to make it satisfying for adults who grew up on this show as kids), forget about how "cartoony" the trailers look... This is groundbreaking film-making, and possibly the entryway into an entirely new film language (Maybe widening the opening made by Rodriguez with Sin City...) This is bending photographic film-making to fantastic whimsy... The guy who posted about the High Dynamic Range photography got it right... This is going to be a huge technical achievement, while still trying to capture some youthful innocence... This is the story a lot of us had in our heads on a lazy afternoon after school, playing with matchbox or Hot Wheels cars, brought into vivid life on a big screen.
I'm in my 50's, and very much looking forward to this film!
