"War Horse" Teaser Trailer

Certainly looks to me like Spielberg has got an Oscar in the bag on this one, and you can take that as either a compliment or a rejection. This film looks to have pretty much everything that the Academy looks for, with all the sentimentality that sold them on The King's Speech. If we're going off of what they recently did, War Horse is a lock for a nomination. Yes, you could say that I'm making the call a bit early, but this is the sort of phony prestige that they fawn over. Yes, it's pretty, but I can't imagine there being much more to it. I know it's Spielberg, but he hasn't made anything really great, or that good, for nearly the past decade.

  1. Well, apperantly the source material is great, so there's hope of it actually being good.
