    Just glad to see a new trailer -- I've seen the first one a bazillion times and am tired of the fat kid bouncing off the pyramid. #despicableme

    "Hmmmm, I see no orphans in the teaser trailer." The orphans are in the very last frame. The rest of the trailer sort of reminds me of Spy vs. Spy. #despicableme

    This looks fun. But I would rather have him raise the girls to be a team of supervillians. There could be the mad scientist, the mastermind, and the PR agent. #despicableme

    Oh, are we really surprised? A Steve Carell animated film that ends with his character being redeemed by his experience with three kids. Was there any other way this movie would end? #despicableme

    As if any of those films are anything to be proud of. And one of primary warning flags of any animated film is that they try to sell you stars. Pixar never does that. It's about the characters first, not who's voicing them. #despicableme

    @AngriestGeek: that's true. every CGI and animated film I've seen where the voice stars have been sold before the main premise of the film has bombed. miserably.

    i like the theme song though. #despicableme

    Except Shrek. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say every such film should have bombed. #despicableme

    @Scandal.ous: It does look amazing. I think everyone is far too cynical these days and I say this as a very cynical guy myself.

    The first trailers made the film look average. But some of the shots in the featurrete are really gorgeous and really should have been in the trailers.

    I think the special effects are a victim of their own success. It only just clicked that the whole jungle is computer generated it looks so real. I think my mind was fooled. It straight out bought everything my eyes were seeing was real.

    The effects on display go far beyond 300 and its crappy green screen stuff, Anything in the star wars prequels and films like Beowulf. I dodges uncanny valley by making the blue cat aliens realistic cartoons. If that was intentional it was a really clever idea, if not they got lucky.

    I hate green screen movies and movies with tons of excessive effects because they are done badly and are shit films. I can't belive I'm saying this but this film could be a pleasant experience.

    I'm not expecting anything special from the story but since its Mr Cameron it should at least be solid and will have characters that have emtions and things so you actually might give a shit for once. That would make a nice change.

    To all the haters: this the only film I would consider watching in 3d and I fucking hate 3d.

    I don't know, it looks nice enough, but I'm still not getting that "photo-realistic" look we've been promised in the lead up to this. It looks no better than the SW Prequels in terms of CGI "realness," and the basic story of technology vs. natural society reminds me of the end of ROTJ. I'm sure it'll be a good flick, but I think it has been hyped way too much for a property that no one knows anything about. Remember when The Matrix was released and people thought, "That looks neat, let's go see that," and THEN our minds were blown. Cameron looks like he wants to blow our minds (or at least promise they will be) and then get us into the theaters. He's pushing the spectacle of it too much and no one is asking if the story is going to be any good. #avatar
