Thanks for posting the trailer! I would not have known about it if not for this thread.

While I agree that there's a lot of CGI, personally, I'm legit shocked at how good the CGI is. There's not a singe shot - not even the rhino - that looks bad, IMO. It's all totally believable to me, and that's rarely the case with a lot of modern blockbusters.
Like, standing on the rhino. In and of itself that is no big deal. But my overall impression of the trailer was having to go above and beyond the original in ways that, for me, lose the immersion.
Like simple Jedi lightsaber fights that morphed into martial art showmanship. I get it though. Just can't do what has already been done.
Really what I need to do is compare my old man opinion with that of my 19- and 17-year-old sons. Then I'll find out I'm just an old man romanticizing the past like every other old fogey.
That being said, the trailer music choice is terrible and does not inspire confidence regardless of what young people might say
I hear you on the spectacle, and the Jedi comparison is a good call. I need to see how it's all utilized in-movie first before I agree with you, though.
As for the trailer music, we're simply going to have agree to disagree. I just watched the trailer twice more and could not find that track more exciting or fitting. To the point where I'm so glad they didn't do the exact thing everyone expected, and went with the solemn score/Lisa Gerrard vocals as someone ran their hand through a wheat field or whatever.
And I'm in my 40s.
It's an incredible score, no doubt, but there will be a time and a place for it in the marketing eventually.

Given Acacius' potential change of heart, I'm guessing that maybe he and Lucius ultimately team up in the end to take down the emperor brothers in some way?

Only on TexAgs would "No Church in the Wild" - one of the most popular hip hop tracks of the 21st century, by Jay-Z and Kanye West at the peak of their powers - be considered "terrible" rap/"freakin' Spotify music." Not only is the track from the infamous "Watch the Throne" album (a title that is obviously thematically relevant here), the song itself is about nihilism and the idea that often you have to fight for yourself when there is one else to save you (also thematically relevant). The lyrics specifically mention "tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stains the Coliseum doors" (heard in the trailer) while the chorus is spot-on as well…
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer
Who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright
No church in the wild
In other words, this wasn't some flippant song choice, but rather a thematically rich play for a more modern audience, and personally I think it kicks ass.
Also, you guys realize there was a trailer for the first movie scored to Kid Rock, right?

Again, you're making this weirdly personal. I may be defending an opinion, but I'm not saying objectively insane things like "Get help" and "You have a problem" over a movie trailer.

Well I definitely made some guesses about you, and then one look at your posting history confirmed my suspicions.
