Heard this one is horrible. Painful dialog and little action.
Also that the marketing and ads for the film are misleading.
People are going to be pissed!
I thought it looked interesting. Anyone else see it?

I haven't seen it, but I have a coworker who has been just dying to see it, because it looks like a train wreck.
Harry at AICN thought it was dumb, but still fun.

So now what, the A.I. plane is going to say "sorry" and blow itself up? Or are we only going to see about 5 minutes of flying?
It looked generic when I saw the trailer for the first time.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Probably that Jaime Foxx is being portrayed as the lead in ads to capitalize on his popularity and Oscar win while he is actually has a supporting role in the film and its actually Josh Lucas who his the lead. |

To me, it looks like yet another loud Action movie.
I'll skip this one even with Josh Lucas in it.
Cross Top Gun with Firefox and you got Stealth.

Yeah, but a script by W.D. Richter. That merits a look, I think.

I've actually seen the trailer so many times I'm totally burnt out on seeing the film itself.

I actually think it's quite the opposite. You basically see Jaime Foxx in the trailer for the first 10 seconds and then you never see him again. I was actually thinking "The man's won the friggin' Oscar and they don't even try to capitalize on that!" while seeing the trailer in theaters. |

I think it looks fun, I could use a little mindless fun right about now just to unwind, I mean i've already seen every major film I wanted to see this summer, so why not, ya know?
Plus, Jessica Biel in a bikini, how does that hurt it?

The long ComicCon trailer has a lot more Jaime Foxx.
It is also kinda misleading because

Best Buy has a free dvd out in stores now with some behind the scenes on this movie and a trailer with a few other trailers as well.
It looks like a fun ride. The trailer is full 5.1 and anamorphic, it looks and sounds great in the theater. This one I'll most likely buy blind.
Sometime's you reach what's real by making believe.
