What did you think of the new trailer?

The rivalry's heating up.

lol that was good. Jesse Eisenberg is growing on me.

As I suspected, early reactions are saying EisenLex is an evil SOB people will hate.

This bothers me.  The best villains are usually those that have an element of pathos.  If they'd made Lex a working-class self-made man, or a charismatic type rather than a sneering nerd, it might make him a more appealing villain.  If he's just going to be an ultra-evil rich kid, I'm not interested I'm afraid.  :-\
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Being an evil villain doesn't have to equal one note characterisation. If they tap into comic book Lex, his beliefs and viewpoints about humanity taking ownership of its own fate, then I don't think there's an issue.

Perhaps.  I'd just prefer if the rumour about young Lex being a clone of his 'father' turned out to be true.

With a little practice, Eisenberg could audition to be the spokesman for a new line of Micro Machines.  :(

Are these reactions from people seeing the trailers or someone who has actually seen the movie? I would think (and hope) the studio is showing this to people now. The critics should be next.
