Percival 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 PS It's the UK trailer. Don't know if the US one will be different.
Not Mr. Big 4,822 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I think there's SOME new stuff. Like at 1:03 There's an extra note in the first chord. I don't really think it's looped either.
Romão 2,432 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Great trailer, so many awe inspiring shots. I was specially struck by the shot of Joey running with the barb wire fences stuck to his saddle
King Mark 3,837 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 OMFG the looped the same passage 5 times It sounds terrible
Brónach 1,320 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 This shows great things from the film, but it's not a great trailer.
Not Mr. Big 4,822 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 You know what? The extra couple seconds of music in the trailer is 10 times more interesting than the stuff we've been getting from the Tintin trailers.

It just seems like JW on autopilot.
Josh500 1,620 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 OMFG the looped the same passage 5 times It sounds terrible Yes. Thats what I thought too.Of course, your average movie goer won't be paying much attention to the music, but... errrghh. I wanted to be impressed by the new footage, but the terrible loops kept distracting me. Still, the new footage is impressive. This looks like a terrific movie.You know what? The extra couple seconds of music in the trailer is 10 times more interesting than the stuff we've been getting from the Tintin trailers.Why?The Tintin stuff doesn't seem to have much life to me.

Josh500 1,620 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Damn, I love these WH trailers.I really hope the movie's as good as it looks. And I bet it is, since both the book and the play have been wildly popular. So the story's gotta be good at least.
Jay 42,838 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 A full-length trailer has been unveiled for War Horse, which is almost the very definition of the term “Oscar bait.” But does the theatrical preview make the film look like a truly stirring and moving period drama that will leave you choked up - or does it come off as the sort of contrived and overly-sentimental artsy project that just makes you roll your eyes instead?One thing is certain - War Horse will boast some fantastic cinematography - courtesy of multiple Oscar-winner Janusz Kaminski (Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan) - and yet another beautiful soundtrack from composer John Williams. Sadly, though, this newest trailer goes overboard on selling the film as a rousing melodrama and will probably leave a lot of viewers unimpressed… even though, for all we know, the final product could end up leaving those same people in tears.Source: http://screenrant.com/war-horse-movie-trailer-sandy-134618/
Josh500 1,620 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Well, we all know that this movie is gonna be at least a little corny. It's a Spielberg movie, after all. Those who are allergic to corny stuff should just stay away, and go see a horror movie, or something. It stands to reason that a movie of this kind will not satisfy every demographic.
crocodile 9,224 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 No matter what the film is going to be like, I'm really impressed with the cinematography so far. Not a typical Kamiński's work.Karol
Incanus 5,858 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I think the film comes off really sentimental in the trailer. I know it is based on a children's book so I guess it carries a sort of innocent message about the power of friendship, even between a boy and a horse. I am interested to see if the sincerity carries throughout the film and will it be convincing or schmaltzy.Oh and the cinematography looks terrific indeed and the score has such heart to it.
Josh500 1,620 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Well, if you are gonna praise Kaminski and JW, I think Spielberg needs to be praised too! I can already tell, the battle scenes are gonna be fantastic.I am thinking this might be a hybrid of Saving Private Ryan and Empire of the Sun... two of Spielberg's best movies!No matter what the film is going to be like, I'm really impressed with the cinematography so far. Spielberg blocks every shot; Kaminski is only concerned about the lighting!
Romão 2,432 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 The story is sentimental, no way around it, and no one can pull of sentimatility in such a poignant way as Spielberg. Plus, sentimental movies can be such a great playground for great music, and judging by the music and the absolutely stunning shots in the trailer, we're in for a treat

Little Ghost 7,933 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Here is the trailer with voices removed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39Gt0sH19Hc
Little Ghost 7,933 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 The loop sounds less like a loop with the voices removed I find.
indy4 159 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 From a film perspective, this looks great. Of course it also sounds great from a score perspective, but this trailer doesn't do much to add to that.
BLUMENKOHL 1,087 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 This looks to be a great film.And it sounds to be a fantastic score.
Hlao-roo 390 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 1. All sentimentality is bad.2. All of Spielberg's films are sentimental.3. __________
Josh500 1,620 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Some new scenes in the trailer really give me pleasurable chills.The soldiers on the horses charging across the woods; the soldiers firing machine guns while the camera pans over them; the horse tearing through the ruins at night, with the fence (?) trailing after it; the one soldier repeating over and over "Be brave. Be brave"... etc. etc.
Not Mr. Big 4,822 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 This looks more like a family film than best picture material. Not that that's bad, a lot of the best picture winners are pretentious crap anyway.
