This Article about this lady who is putting a lawsuit on this movie is stupid. The woman I don't think will win this case. A trailers job is to show a lot of action to make you want to see the movie. Yes, This movie looks interesting to watch. I haven't really been surprised after a trailer. The movies usually are good.
I thought this article was very cool. I think the woman does have a chance. She seems like she knows what she's doing. Yes, the trailers should be required accurately to a movie's synopsis. The trailer did make me want to see it. The movie's I have been surprised by looking at the trailer is Soul Surfer, Fireproof, Ladder 49, and also Courageous.
I don’t think she stands a chance at winning the lawsuit. Because it is a movie that may have some of the same affects as another movie. I think trailers should be required to accurately reflect a movie’s synopsis. I didn’t make me want to see the movie. The trailer I’ve relied was something borrowed.
I think the article is kind of pathetic; it is just a movie. I do not think that they intentionally wanted to make Jewish people feel offended. Yes, there should be movie trailers that give off the general idea. If we did not have movie trailers then we wouldn't have an idea of how good, bad, or funny the movie would be. After watching the movie trailer, I would like to see the "Drive". A trailer that surprised me was "Due Date". That movie was hilarious.
I think the movie seems pretty good by the trailer. I really don't think the woman is going to stand a chance at winning her case, because going into a movie you know there might be things that will offend or upset you. I'm pretty sure in every movie there is a part when someone may get offended but that doesn't mean take time and sue them. Yes, she does have her own personal thoughts and opinions but just because she doesn't like it doesn't mean someone else wouldn't. She's over reacting in my opinion. I would most definitely go see the movie after I seen the trailer, I thought it looked interesting! I can't really recall a time that the trailer made me think that movie was going to be different than what it was. You can't always know exactly what the movie is going to be like just because of the trailer.
I believe that this woman does have a chance at the lawsuit, but I don’t personally agree with it. The trailer does not imply that the entire movie will be like The Fast and the Furious, just because it shows driving scenes. Of course trailers should accurately portray the contents of the movie, but everyone knows they don’t. The purpose is to get people to buy tickets to the movie, not fully understand what the movie is about before they go to watch it. That’s the whole point of a movie trailer. I’ve seen movies before that were slightly different than what I expected from the trailer, but it was never to the extent that I would pursue a lawsuit over it. The fact that she was upset for the racial slurs against the Jewish religion is understandable and she may have a logical lawsuit for that cause, but she is being unreasonable if her sole reason is that the trailer was misleading.
I think the woman was going a little overboard with the situation. I understand that the racism thing was a little offensive, but suing them isn't exactly the way to deal with the situation. I don't want to see this movie, simply because it doesn't interest me at all. When I saw Paranormal Activity 2, I was outdone, because the trailer made the movie look interesting and scary, however when I Went to see the actual movie, it was horrible! It wasn't that scary at all, but I guess that's their job. They try to interest us in the movie, anyway they can, to profit, whether the movie is horrible or not.
I believe that the woman who is filing a lawsuit is going too far with this. I don't think that the woman will stand a chance at winning the lawsuit. She will not win because she is not the only one who saw a dissapointing movie. The trailers should accurately reflect a movie's synopsis. The trailer did not really entertain me. Trailers should be able to grasp a person's attention and the movie should as well.
I think that the woman does not have a chance at winning the lawsuit. I think its stupid she is even trying. I think that they can advertise whatever they want about their movie to attract attention. It does look pretty good and I probably will go watch it.
I think the article was very interesting. I think the woman stands a chance at winning the lawsuit. Its like she really did her research on how the movie supported hatred of the Jewish faith. I think I would want to see the movie just so i can see if her statments are true. Some movies that I have been surprised by are Wrong Turn 3, Halloween 2, Fast Five, and Law Abiding Citizen.
I thought the article was interesting to an extent. I don’t understand why she cannot just watch a movie and think of it as good or bad. I know some people are going to care that there is racism again Judaism. However, you also have to look at in the fact that there ARE people in this world that are like that. Moreover, if the woman went to the right court with the right jury she would in fact win. I do think movie trailers should give more into the plot of the movie. Nevertheless, they only show you enough so you will be interested and pay to see the movie. That is the reason they make them. Of course, the trailer made me want to see the movie. For one it has Ryan Gosling in it. He is so fine! There are many movies I want to see based on their trailers. If the movie looks interesting, then I am going to go see it.
I think this article was very interesting ,to be honest she might then she might not have a chance a winning because she should of searched it up and see what it truly was about before she went and saw it .I believe that it should be required to accurately reflect a movie's synopsis. It kind of did made me want to go see the movie but then again I can see my self starting to get bored during the movie. There are plenty of trailers I have seen that made me want to go see the movie as in "Insidious" ,"Red Riding Hood".
I thought the article was kinda stupid. I understand the lady being offended by the movie but is it really that serious to try and make a lawsuit? Is she just doing it for the money? I don't want to see the movie. I've never been upset with a trailer.
I really don’t see why a person would try to sue for that. She does not have a chance to win. Which is stupid but with our court systems she probably will win. I do want to see the movie now that I saw the trailer. But I will probably wait until the DVD comes out.
Keith Bryant: This woman has the nerve to sue a movie for something this …..sorry but stupid reason. The movie looks incredibly interesting actually; I know I will find myself watching it as soon as it hits blue box. I think some people just are so greedy the try to find reasons to file for a law suite.
I mean she might have a point but it’s a move and if you didn’t like it that’s your personal opinion. I thank that she dose not stand a chance in that law suit. In addition, I do thank that they should make the trailers so that they reflect on the move. Like Mr. Bean it looked good on the commercials for it, but then we when and looked at it in moves and it sucked.
