Definitely intrigued.  Also, nice to see an actual "teaser" vs. "hey here's the whole movie in two minutes".   lol

Oh, indeed...they could still spoil it with another lengthy proper trailer.  I'm more curious what it will center on --- the effort to rescue the troops, or the battle before/during, etc.

Been quite a while since we really had a new proper, well done WWII movie. Guess we'll see if it turns out good?

what was the last one in your opinion? Just curious...

Considering the work Nolans have done before, it could be a visual fest :)

I rather like Spielberg films. And his friend, Oscar, agrees - twice, for Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan.  lol

Hasn't been a one in the 2010s (unless you're really pushing the category for something like the King's Speech or The Imitation Game, but I'm talking about combat films). Fury was junk. Going back further, I would say it would be 2006 which saw both Letters From Iwo Jima as well as Downfall.

Inglourious Basterds was 2009, but it's just cartoonish enough for someone to think it maybe "doesn't count". For myself,  the issue is more that I have not actually been a fan of the Tarantino oeuvre for some time.
