For a moment I thought this was a fan-made trailer because of that ridiculous, horrible song that you would hear from a guy who drives a raised 4×4 blasting Breaking Benjamin on his way for more Skoal.

I'd be a lot more worried about Ridley Scott if not for the fact that Cormac McCarthy wrote this. Ridley can make a movie look very good, he just has a tendency to get lost in the plot or make the characters say ridiculous things. If you consider that Cormac is far more talented at controlling those two aspects – the plot and the dialogue – that should, hopefully, keep the film on track and afford Ridley more focus on the elements he's best at.

Looks great, but did they have to use that fucking stupid song in the trailer!? This awful trend of using a flavor-of-the-month song in a trailer needs to stop. LAST WEEK. That shitty Flo Rida song was used to sell both "R.I.P.D." and "Jobs", which tells me that those movies have ZERO discernible personality. Also the "We're The Millers" TV spots using "Blurred Lines" shows that the marketers couldn't sell anything the movie had to offer, so they just have to fall back on a popular song to sell their movie. PLEASE STOP.

At least this movie looks damn good. Ridley needs a good one right now. ANYTHING is better than Prometheus.

Why did they spell "Counselor" with two L's? Also, Ridley Scott is the wrong director for this, but whatever still my most anticipated.

I'd be a lot more excited for this if it wasn't directed by Ridley fucking Scott…

This trailer tells us a lot more. Visually it looks a lot like Thelma and Louise; Scott never disappoints in terms of the look of the film. Everyone looks and sounds good here, especially Fassbender and Diaz; I'm hoping one or both can get recognized.

I don't know about Oscar chances but Fassbender, Diaz and Cruz look really good here. Especially Diaz and Cruz. Maybe some acting nods…

Thankfully shakycam-free. Return to classic shots. And the bleached out grey is at least a break from overexposed yellow & blue. Just have to wait and see how good it really is – Scott's movies can go either way on a dime.

Looks like a really inspired effort. Can't wait. Michael Mann-esque!
