Looks great! I love Hanks but it's been a while since he has made something that interests me but I'll definetely see this.

Most random and unexpected.

Indeed. Out of the blue.

I think the trailer is bloody awful. Looks like they took the style from a 'haunted by evil dead' computer game and the CGI is totally unrealistic. There may actually be a watchable film hiding behind the trailer but on evidence so far I won't be watching it.

I actually agree with this. The trailer just showed way too much, it was like I already watched the whole movie. It was not framed like a war film either; it did come across as something out of computer game.

It might be a good film, but you can't tell by the trailer.

The trailer looks like a million bucks! It reminded me of Saving Private Ryan right away. I guess hanks been missing such role since those days.

I do not agree; this did not resemble the trailer for Saving Private Ryan. Basically only Tom Hanks was the only thing they had in common. Trailers today, generally speaking, are nothing like trailers 20 years ago. Trailers today show way too much and typically drag, including this one. A trailer should not be 2 to 2 and half minutes long. 30 seconds to 1 minute maximum. Enough to catch your interest but not enough make the entire film feel spoiled. Even if it is not spoiled it feels like it is.

Well, it did not need to resemble it really physically as the trailer still stirred up enough of emotions and force you to remember Saving Private Ryan. As soon as I saw Hanks sporting WII helmet and having the same stoic look on his face it flashbacked me to his Captain look from Ryan movie. So I think the trailer had done it’s work in helping to remember other similar looking movies.

Isn't it a little 'cheap' for the film to be exploiting nostalgia for another film when this one has nothing to do with older one? It is not a follow up, it does not have the same creative team, same writer or director, it is not even the same studio. Literally the only 2 things it has in common with Saving Private Ryan is it is a WWII film (pretty general that) and it stars Tom Hanks. To frame the trailer in such a way that it goes out of the way to 'tickle' people's nostalgia for a great film made 25 years ago seems exploitative at the least.
