Review: The tagline isn’t big enough and there aren’t enough details in the foreground or background, but from a distance, it is an imposing design, which may be why the central figure is so small in comparison.

Trailer Rating: B

Review: Mel Gibson isn’t a good director. Braveheart is simplistic and overrated. The Passion of the Christ is hollow and self-serving. The trailer for this film works simply because it’s a story we haven’t heard a lot of before. That uniqueness might give it a boost with audiences, though the faint hint of religious overtones in the trailer is surely to be over-amplified in the film itself, which might be frustrating for some viewers.

Oscar Prospects:

Mel Gibson hasn’t been a major Oscar contender since The Passion of the Christ and, before that, his Best Picture win for Braveheart twenty-one years ago. That doesn’t mean this one will be, but the buzz has already begun.
