Lincoln Trailer



Well it's finally here. The trailer for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. The movie has been hyped up for months and I can see why. Daniel Day Lewis, who plays the title character, in a Spielberg movie is so amazing. I never thought it would happen. So the trailer came out last week and I must say I am a little underwhelmed. It's not because of Daniel Day Lewis. From what I've seen so far, he looks just like the 16th President of the United States. Basically Lewis is Lincoln. Aside from that it just looks average to me. It's a shame because if it was any other director I would be more thrilled. However, it's Steven Spielberg. Probably the most iconic director ever. Ask anyone on the street and chances are they'll known who he is. Anyway, Spielberg has set the bar so high that the trailer probably doesn't do the film justice. I had the same problem with War Horse, but I ended up loving that movie. Of course, I am still interested in the movie and it could be another Oscar win for Lewis and Spielberg. Lincoln will open in limited release on November 9th and nationwide on November 16th.
