I think LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE might be very awesome!

Published at:  Jun 17, 2010 1:14:12 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... There's one shot in this trailer of an Owl's fur stained with blood. I'm getting a slight... dare I say... SECRET OF NIMH vibe off this film. Now we all know there's no hope of this being that cool... but then, it is Zack Snyder - and he tends to be pretty damn cool. Or, are we hating him these days. Whatever - I'm looking forward to this - and think Zack kicks ass!

    The main character sounds like a pussy

    by d.vader

    I mean, he sounds like a complete and total douchey pussy. Which isn't something you'll hear me say often. I just don't like the main character one bit. His voice grates on me. Doesn't sound like someone I'd like to follow.

    That trailer was actually pretty damn difficult to find, Harry.Holy crap that looks great! To me, anyway. Not sure about the owls that look timid or scared, though. Owls always look like they'd like to eat your face to me. And I HATE the 30 Seconds To Mars track in the trailer. I don't even hate the song, just hate it in the trailer. But the movie is a big hell yeah! That's the kind of animated escapist fantasy I've been waiting for.

    by jaka

    Because even after I tried to hate HTTYD I ended up really digging that movie. But I'd be pretty incredibly shocked if a) I didn't like TS3 more, and b) the Academy gave a Dreamworks Animation film the Oscar over the Pixar release for that year. Seems even less likely if TS3 is as good as people are saying. Just don't see that happening.

    by inkingeekx

    What exactly was wrong with Watchmen? The people who like it love it snd the ones who hate think it's a sign of the fucking Antichrist. The casting was great, the effects believeable, and the adaptation was very close to the source material- other than not having the giant squid thing, which even Alan Moore admitted was week. They still kept the meaning and intent of the ending tho. Not trying to negate anyone's opinion- just trying understand.

    by dreamfasting

    I like the atmosphere of the trailer - very detailed emotes and vistas. The Happy Feet meets LotR vibe to the emotions actually works for me, but I think it should have stopped at the 1:20 mark. Strangely, the second half of the trailer goes out of its way to say "don't worry, it's just the standard hero's journey story, nothing new here".

    by andrewtd

    I though that they were really good. When reading it you will see there is a lot that can be done with owls. With Owls they tackled some of the harsher elements of the nazi's and the KKK called the Pure ones. There is a lot of good here and if the next three books get made you'll have another 300 type epic.
