Well, after MNS' last few movies, and his apparent bloated ego, my expectations are way low. But it was refreshing to see the kid do his little martial arts sequence without the use of quick-cut shaky closeups etc.

Basing on your prcognition skills I HATE THIS MOVIE!

It's the dumbest thing to rate the movie by the teaser. Even the one having the most ridiculous plot and Eddy Murphy on board.

I love MNS movies (except the last couple, not as much), but I must say...hearing the narrator in the first half of this teaser trailer, with the deep serious voice...I couldn't help thinking that it was a lead-in to a punchline, like it's a spoof movie or something. The narrator sounds oh so serious *shivers*.

I liked everything else with the trailer. Just lose the narrator.

Just as long as there arent any actual Asians in it, im fine. Becasue who wants Asians played by actual Asians? Children dont need to see that, especially Asian children. But if you do have to have an Asian as a main character make him a villain that way the children won't be confused.

Well that trailer surprised me! Looks great from the teaser. Never saw the toon except clips its based on though, but looks like fun.

To the nay-sayers here dissing it based on that lil teaser, Pull your c**ks outa yer asses! Enjoy it for what its supposed to be, or why did you even bother to click on the trailer link at all if you knew from the title what it was gonna be about?

Let's see: where to start...

'Little kid as chosent one' brought to you by* Phantom Menace

'Cloaked warrior wielding staff and doing magic' brought to you by the Wizards of the LOTR trilogy

'Limitless armada of boats advancing on fortress' produced by Troy

There wasn't a single thing in this trailer that bespoke originality or creativity, to me. NEXT.

...and to that wonderful, cogent little argument 'You can't judge a movie by its trailer' Exactly *what* is supposed to get me as a non-fan interested in a film if NOT the trailer? The whole F3cking point of doing a 'teaser' is to pique my interest and show me what I can hope to experience. In this case, I have been told that I will experience NOTHING that I have not already seen before, with the possible exception that I haven't seen a pint-size Asian boy doing hardcore martial arts since the heyday of Ernie Reyes Jr.

Look, maybe this movie will be worthwhile. I just have *NO* indication of that, so far. ...and insert trepidation about MNS's ego over-reaching his skills, here.

*Not the first movie to come up with premise, just most recent pop-culture example

So this is a kid's movie? Sorry, I have no idea what it's based on.

If so, bravo MTV for showing a condom ad before the trailer.

Well people like tomwaitsjr are just trying to be the first people to call that this movie will be bad based on MNS' latest movies, so if it does suck, he looks so cool to the rest of the internet community.

I think the concept looks alright. Not sure how much damage someone will do to an army with air. But I hope MNS can pull this off and make a good movie, he definitely needs it.

Wake me up when M. Night makes a movie worth watching. Ever since the Village, and every atrocious film after that...no need to waste my time.

M. Night has a co-writer this time. That's something.
