I want to like this but I'm not sure...

OK, I loved the book "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" when I was a kid, so I was very excited to hear that they were making a movie out of the book. Also, when I found out Wes Anderson was directing AND George Clooney was starring as the voice of Mr. Fox, well, I was about as happy as a pig in doo-doo, as they say.
For the first time in a long while I was actually excited about a movie that was coming out. The last time I looked forward to a movie was when the last "Indiana Jones" came out. We all know how that turned out, so I won't bore you with the details of my disappointment. Yet, even with my rather recent "Indiana Jones" wound, I was still pretty jazzed to hear about this "Fantastic Mr. Fox" movie...
And then I watched the trailer.
Honestly now, I don't know what to think. I have all these fond childhood memories of the book and I want to like it so bad, that I've lost all perspective. I have now watched the trailer 11 times and still don't really know how I feel about it. I keep giving it another chance, thinking that I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem to get any better. I don't know. I can't really tell anymore. I want desperately to believe that the movie is better. Maybe they just made a bad trailer! I really want to believe this.
I'm starting to think though, that here comes a time in all our lives when we have to be honest with ourselves. This may be one of them, truthfully, how many times have you ever seen a full length movie that was BETTER than the trailer. Really, think back....
Me neither. I'm hoping that Mr. Fox will be the exception to the rule. I pray that it's so.
