American Outlaws: This actually looks very good, probably clichéd but I'd say it'll be good enough. Ali Larter from Final Destination is also in it. Some good looking action in it. You should recognise a few faces. Pain in the arse why it isn't being released in Ireland, especially since Collin Farrell is Irish!

Attack of the Clones: I've seen 'Mystery' and this looks excellent. CGI looks amazing, I'd say this will be a much better film than The Phantom Menace. It shows very little of the film and hardly any plot! This is only a Teaser Trailer. Full Trailer will be available March / April next year!

Behind Enemy Lines: It looks excellent, action looks is very good and story has a good premise! I like Gene Hackman. Own Wilson plays a pilot shot down and Hackman leads a rescue mission.

Black Hawk Down: Same story as Behind Enemy Lines but doesn't look as good, but maybe better due to there being a group of soldiers being attacked! You will recognise a good few faces in this film. From Ridley Scott's last film I hope this is a lot better.

Collateral Damage: I don't think this will be a great film even though the Trailer actually looks good. An action film with a morality element, could be good but most likely a recipe for disaster!

Count of Monte Cristo: Another remake but it looks very good! Guy Pearce is a very good actor. You should know the story, Richard Harris is also in it.

Eight Legged Freaks: Looks very creepy to start with and then turns into kind of an action film. Looks a bit like Tremors. David Arquette is in the film but I don't see him in the Trailer.

From Hell: Looks excellent, seems a bit like Sleepy Hollow and could easily be a lot better. I think Johnny Depp is a very good actor and I love Heather Graham!

Gangs of New York: Another film that looks excellent. I thought it was about gangsters but it's about Gangs fighting amongst themselves in New York around the 1920's / 1930's and in one way similar to Moulin Rouge!

Ice Age: Animation set in the Ice Age, looks very funny and animation is amazing! This will look excellent on the big screen I'd say!

Joy Ride: A thriller bit like Spielberg's Duel. These lads wind up the truck drivers and end up ******* off one called Rusty Nail (Ted Levine does his voice). This looks excellent, I hope it lives up to expectations!

Lord of the Rings: Looks amazing, again the Special Effects look excellent. The story seems very close to the book. I hope it'll live up to the hype!

Minority Report: Looks amazing, could be Spielberg's best film since Raiders of the Lost Ark, I don't think it could be worse than A.I. anyway.

Not much is shown in Trailer except for the premise! Tom Cruise goes on the on run when he is arrested before he commits a crime.

Special Effects look excellent, nothing is now out of the reach of CGI any more. There's little robots with 3 legs hopping around the place! This is only a Teaser Trailer. Full Trailer will be available March / April next year!

Monsters inc: Animation looks excellent but I don't think the film will be much good as the story is pretty naf. I mightn't bother going to see this.

The One: Jet Li plays a Sheriff that comes in contact with an alternate version of himself that killing off other versions of himself. Each time he kills one he gets stronger! Looks excellent, can't go wrong with Jet Li kicking his own ass!

Rollerball: Why did they do a remake of this? Looks like total and utter rubbish! I don't like Chris Klein either, total pratt! I mightn't go to see this. They actually delayed the release of this film to cut it to a PG-13 film so they'd get more arses on seats, bad sign!

Spider-Man: Tobey Maguire looks very good in this, they probably made the right choice! This looks like an excellent film, a bit too much CGI maybe.

The music in the opening sequence is from The Matrix and then Planet of the Apes alright don't know what the third bit is from even though I recognise it.

The original Teaser Trailer with the Twin Tower footage was shot for the trailer, it's not in the film at all!

Loved the bit at the end of the trailer when Peter is visiting Aunt May in hospital and she says "You do too much, you're not Superman you know".

Thirteen Ghosts: Looks a bit like The Haunting with people trapped inside a house that's build like a clock! Could be good but it's hard to tell really.

The Time Machine: Now this looks excellent, another remake but probably deserved though. Guy Pearce again looks in good form. Special Effects looks excellent, should be better than the original. Why did they have Samantha Mumba in it?

Windtalkers: This looks amazing, photography looks amazing and action looks superb. War movie with Nicolas Cage protecting an Navaho for code breaking. John Woo did a great job by looks of things!

NOTE: Only 2 reviews are of Teasers the rest are Full Trailers.

Next year is going to be much better than year by the looks of things. I'm hoping the Blade 2 Trailers will be on the net shortly!

I'm not being funny, but why do you think it's going to be better if the trailer gives so little info? :confused: Apart from the fact that he'd be hard pressed to stuff it up any more, that is.

Oh, and IMHO Monsters Inc is the best thing Pixar have done to date.

Have you seen Trailer for Ice Age? Looks far superior than Monsters inc in every respect!

Fair comment about Star Wars though

Which Ice Age trailer did you see? The 1st (just the rodent trying to protect his acorn) trailer was really good, but the 2nd trailer makes it look like the usual tripe that Disney output :( And I thought the animation (in the 1st trailer at least) looked quite 'Student' like :D

Yeah, the first trailer for Ice Age was quite good - it's on the Dr Dolittle 2 DVD as well, isn't it?

Have to admit I'm looking forward to Spider-Man, and Minority Report looks promising as well....

Have to agree with you Dave. The acorn teaser was funny, but the longer trailer was pretty awful.
Nice work on the Spiderman trailer by the way Dave!!!!!!!!!

Behind Enemy Lines sounds quite poor. Dark Horizons gave it 4/10!

My feelings exactly. I'll probably go and see it but it looks a bit too much like The Incredible Journey.

I've only seen Monsters Inc on a middling quality VCD, but I came away knowing that I would see it in the cinema and own it on DVD. Pixar actually understand what cartoons are about, as is evident from the enthusiasm in their commentaries/featurettes (unlike the Shrek featurettes, which just put me to sleep).

Teaser trailers for Austin Powers 3: Gold Member and Blade 2 were put on Apples quick time trailer site. Goldmembers is quite funny but Blade 2's is a waste of time. ( Coming this spring, broody music then a quick shot of Wesley throwing that bommarang thing. )

Saw this recently - it's excellent; an extremely dark and disturbing thriller which remains surprisingly close to the original book. My only gripe with it was Johnny Depp's English accent - I know he's trying to be an "honest guv" Cockney but dear God - Dick Van Dyke's performance in Mary Poppins is almost Shakespearian by comparison :D

So far the most notable ones i've seen that i think look the biz are
Spider-Man,
Ice Age (acorn one),
From Hell,
Ocean's 11,
Eight Legged Freaks (Your right it does have a Tremors feel to it, BTW, isn't that David Arquette at the end that shouts EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS??)
I can't download anything from Apple so i haven't seen Minority Report yet.
The only other one i can think of that really stood out was Panic Room. Total Fincher in look and concept. Can't wait.:D

Having seen a few of the films on your trailer list I thought I'd take 2 mins to see if you opinion of the trailer matches my opinion of the finished movie - all is IMHO ofcourse :)

American Outlaws: This actually looks very good, probably clichéd but I'd say it'll be good enough. Ali Larter from Final Destination is also in it. Some good looking action in it. You should recognise a few faces. Pain in the arse why it isn't being released in Ireland, especially since Collin Farrell is Irish!

Actual Movie = Very poor, cheesy, corny and very very little excitement

Behind Enemy Lines: It looks excellent, action looks is very good and story has a good premise! I like Gene Hackman. Own Wilson plays a pilot shot down and Hackman leads a rescue mission.

Actual Movie = Awesome dogfight at the beginning, the rest is rubbish, sadly I had hopes for this one too.

From Hell: Looks excellent, seems a bit like Sleepy Hollow and could easily be a lot better. I think Johnny Depp is a very good actor and I love Heather Graham!

Actual Movie = Thoroughly enjoyable, its sleepy hollow again yes but still cool. Looking forward to the DVD which I think will be much more graphic than the cinematic release

Joy Ride: A thriller bit like Spielberg's Duel. These lads wind up the truck drivers and end up ******* off one called Rusty Nail (Ted Levine does his voice). This looks excellent, I hope it lives up to expectations!

Actual Movie = Didnt enjoy it, knew what was gonna happen sadly. Not bad for a Friday night but no great shakes

Lord of the Rings: Looks amazing, again the Special Effects look excellent. The story seems very close to the book. I hope it'll live up to the hype!

Actual Movie = Watching it tonight as I would imagine most are :)

Monsters inc: Animation looks excellent but I don't think the film will be much good as the story is pretty naf. I mightn't bother going to see this.

Actual Movie - Great but not all that funny IMHO - preferred Shrek

The One: Jet Li plays a Sheriff that comes in contact with an alternate version of himself that killing off other versions of himself. Each time he kills one he gets stronger! Looks excellent, can't go wrong with Jet Li kicking his own ass!

Actual Movie = A movie of rip offs and different tastes - uses Matrix stylee effect to the ridiculous but can be quite cool at times - A matterof taste this one

Thirteen Ghosts: Looks a bit like The Haunting with people trapped inside a house that's build like a clock! Could be good but it's hard to tell really.

Actual Movie = Bag 'o' ***** :)

If you have broadband you should get more than just trailers :nuts:

Thanks for that AndyP2!

A colleague of mine saw a preview showing of Behind Enemy Lines and he said it was excellent!

I'm really looking forward to Minority Report, Spider-Man, The Time Machine and Windtalkers as they all look excellent.

I download trailers from work since they have a much wider bandwidth and I then just copy them to my portable zip drive to bring home!

The trailer for Behind Enemy Lines plays out like it's been edited by a monkey with A.D.D. , Eight Legged Freaks is a really good trailer and Arquette is the one screaming the title at the end, he's also in the shot when the spider hits the window and slides down it.

Just had a look a the Blade 2 Teaser on the apple site, doesn't look the best, shows very little of the film! Resolution is small so I don't think I'll bother downloading!
