Movies are directors' vehicles, not actors'. Cumberbatch's job for the movie was to fulfill Abrams' requirements. Surely Cumberbatch is responsible for his performance under Abrams' guideline, but what happened in the editing room and the film overall are out of any actor's control. IMO, the trailer is good; I finally decide to get in the theatre to watch it after seeing this trailer; the previous trailers seem a bit coy for my likes.

I think the trailer editing is awful including the audio. The voice over overlaps are a mess which I think is whats making Cumberbatch's delivery seem odd. I hope thats the case because I'm a big fan and love all his work. I hope he hasnt misjudged how slow to deliver the character's lines because if he's like this throughout its going to annoy me. It sucks the tension out of the moments and seems too theatrical (like Bane!!). I thought I'd be worrying about everything else to do with the film and not his delivery!!

Oh, Oliver, I feel your pain for starting working before 6 am. I agree with AIX's comment, and actually I find there's something subtly intriguing in his line delivery, like there's some kind of playful madness simmering. Well, maybe I have too much coffee whiling watching the trailer? Anyway, do feel the editing slightly disjointed though.

All this secrecy for another generic "Bad guy got screwed over, that's why he's so bad" story?
Boring.
Totally agree on the Cumberbatch thing (love him too!) he seems off here.

I actually think that they altered his voice for the trailers. I mean, the tempo is a bit off. Like they slo-moed it a bit.

Oh, so THAT is why Alice Eve was hired.
