What do you think? Did you enjoy the Into the Badlands trailer? Do you plan to watch the premiere?
This movie great and action
Impressive trailer. Definitely on my must-see list. Looks like a combination of Mad Max, Kung Fu, Django Unchained and LOTR – and that’s a very good thing. And with just 6 episodes, it appears to have a solid story arc with a definite start, midpoint and denouement. Smart move and another reason I’ll be watching. And I like the Gandalf/Frodo primary relationship, that’s a classic part of the hero’s journey.
I enjoyed the trailer and I do plan to scope out this new AMC offering … don’t know yet if I’ll like it, only time will tell …
