    Undecided. Love me some DDL but Spielberg has been mailing it in for a while now.

    i think you took the movie (the book was pretty good) too seriously.

    Didn't watch it. The premise is too ridiculous. Just the title breaks my bull**** tolerance.

    While his movies are not iconic like they used to be they haven't been complete trash either. With the exception of Indiana Jones of course. War Horse and Munich were both quality movies.

    Also, DDL is easily the greatest actor of our generation. With the exception of the BS that he did with his wife in 07 (The Ballad of Jack and Rose or something), I have faith that at the very least we'll see a great acting performance.

    And don't forget Tintin, Catch Me If You Can (didn't see), The Terminal, War of the Worlds, Minority Report, AI.

    Yeah his last truly inspired piece of work was probably Saving Private Ryan, but that's still a pretty impressive list there.

    Just that little short for the trailer has me interested though.

    Next time, please put spoilers around that trailer! Now there is absolutely NO point in watching the movie. :mad:

    I didn't see it either, but I'm pretty sure that was the entire point: to be as totally ridiculous as possible.

    War Horse sucked.

    DDL changed his voice for this movie. Cool.

    Could not disagree more. War Horse was an amazing film.

    For the longest time, I've thought that Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln was bound to happen at some point.

    Old Yeller is a movie about a dog...subject matter doesn't mean it can't be a strong film. I haven't seen War Horse but everyone that has says it's pretty solid.

    I have to agree here. It may be the best movie on earth but it is hard for me to get over the fact that it is a movie about a horse. I also have not watched it and yes I understand how stupid it sounds to knock a movie I have not seen. It's just how I roll.

    Liam Neeson would make a great Abraham Lincoln if only he was a better voice actor.
