    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

    @Bootknife-Jackson: He put's all his weight back on between movies, (not that he's fat, I mean he doesn't stay in super hero physique mode); I read in an Empire interview shortly after Blade Trinity he had a meeting with his agent who was ready to capatilise on his new 'action man body'.

    Reynolds just flopped his belly onto the table and his agent nearly cried. #greenlantern

    @Tyrunn: haha yeah it's tough to stay in that kind of shape without living in the gym and eating nothing but chicken and protein shakes. i used to be all P90X-ed out. as soon as you stop that kind of routine you soften up really fast.

    i heard Jake Gylenhall say that after Prince Of Persia he plans on getting fat, tired of working out all the time #greenlantern

    If the focus is on solid acting and solid storytelling, then we will believe a man can fly...with an alien power ring. If the actors create fully realized human beings (or aliens) and not just cardboard "characters" and the director remembers he's telling a story and not just stringing together effects shots, I will excuse bade sfx. On the other hand, bad acting and bad directing tend to call attention to the other problems in the film such as cheap effects. #greenlantern

    I still cannot decide if making the ring flashier will make it more or less believable. I could see how a simple signet ring's ability to "form constructs" would be pretty incredible, but a fiery "power up" in a cloud of green could make me have an outer body experience where I float out of my movie seat and travel back in time to my childhood television set where I used to watch Captain Planet. #greenlantern
