It was really good. I was suprised and impressed by how good it is. I highly recommend watching it. In fact, it is so good that it is going to be shown in the USA.

And, despite the fact that there is an obvious plotline at work here, there are still small surprises to keep things fresh. It's really enjoyable - check it out.

You're not even hating well. Gee, an Asian Western has some borrowed elements? Go figure.

Even so, as mentioned above, the companies that make trailers often get just a small amount of stock to work with (which is usually, but not always, what will end up in the final film), and that's often without a finished soundtrack. So, yeah, what you're watching is simply one scene of the fim, extended and reworked, to get the public's attention. Frankly, trailer editing is an art unto itself, much as is the medical work required to keep Harrison Ford alive all these years. #7,

Well, I also intend to watch a now-geriatric Indiana Jones go at it one more time, but that’s hardly going to keep me from watching other movies as well.

Finally, I wonder how much of the movie will just be scenes of people busting through doors on a train?

Okay, they could always make a Divx, but even then a Divx doesn't look all that good on a big flat screen either. I don't know. I make it a point to buy good movies. Since I have a PS3 w/Blu-Ray, the movies are all the more beautiful on screen. Who wants to see a movie like that on a computer screen?

I think it's due to make money. who wouldn’t enjoy a train robbery, with guys firing round after round of revolver shots, re-loading quicker than Korean students swivel a mechanical pencil, and every once in a while boom someone with a rifle?
