Cool new trailers. This looks fun and it'll do some great numbers.

The True Grit remake is one of those rare remakes that was solid and worthy of it's forbearer. Same for 2:10 to Yuma.

 

 

Is that the little-known prequel?

this looks so boring to me.

Yes... I rank it alongside Eleven O'Clock High. Little seen but appreciated by all who can track it down. Very, very elusive.

I can confirm this movie is damn good and will be a likely hit.  Lot of fun, great action and Denzel/Pratt and the rest of the group play well off each other.

From what I can tell, the reactions to the new trailer are very positive overall.

The few negative ones I saw mostly came from reboot haters or "original" M7 purists (Which was a remake itself afterall, so I think that leaves the argument a bit wearker but whatever). 

Also, people do not like the music choice for the trailer. 

 

But the reactions are otherwise great and this seems to be appealing to people who don't normally like the genre (me included) so I think this is going to be a resounding success come September.

Looks good but I'm not quite sold yet that this is going to be more than "forgettable fun fluff".

Putting aside my own opinion of it, what was JW? Or San Andreas? or TF4?

Yeah, same. I feel like a total old guy saying this, but for a Western it just looks so... toothless and polished. The extent to which it feels like flashy corporate product is off-putting to me, even though I'll probably end up seeing it anyway, if only for the scenery and some of the actors.

I'll answer one at a time. A super fun yet somewhat stupid blockbuster. A very forgettable special effects vehicle. One of the worst theatre experiences I've had.

All I want out of it is a fun time at the movies. I'm not expecting it to become a classic or anything like that.

This summer has been sorely lacking in fun films as far as I'm concerned. I have very few movies I'm excited about in the coming months, but this is definitely one of them.

Yeah this looks like a blast. Liked the teaser a bit better though

@JennaJ said it better than me.

Glad he got his credit in the trailer.

Pratt looks quite bad in this?

[Hatebox]

For some reason all I could think watching this trailer was 'this all feels very 2016.' 

[Fancyarcher]

Looks like it could be quite fun actually.
