With the wide release today, this thread should become really active tonight or tomorrow morning.

The SW2 trailer has speaking parts, reportedly most of the lines are from Samuel L. Jackson’s charcter.

Well, the other Harry Potter thread got started by someone who actually saw the movie, not just someone who wants to have his/her name on the thread.

I don’t know where you get your info. about Star Wars. The trailer(which is the third one) has lot’s of dialouge, but none from Sam Jackson. All is from Padme/Anakin/Obi-Wan.

The trailer’s focus is almost entirely on the romantic angle of the movie. It’s not as good as the internet trailer, but made me feel pretty good about the romance part. The dialouge sounded pretty solid, not too choppy or forced.

The movie looks good, very good. No more trailers until March/April though. I’m kinda hoping they put the internet trailer on Lord of the Rings, since it’d be cool to see that one in the theater. Besides, Lord of the Rings might have the biggest opening in a long time. Be worth having your trailer on it.

I don’t know if Spoiler Warnings for Harry Potter would apply, since so many people have already read the books.

Well excuse me for trying to keep Harry Potter confined to one thread in this forum! 🙂

I haven’t seen the movie yet, mainly because I’m a little claustrophobic and am waiting for when it’s not so crowded. I also haven’t read any of the books, hence the advance spoiler warning should some be added. My trailer info was from a professional reviewer in the St. Louis area.

Feh. _My_ [expletive deleted x 25] theater didn’t _have_ the new SW trailer. :mad:
