Cautiously optimistic, I'm more excited about this than the Indiana Jones movie! Let's hope it is better than the recent **** of Indy. wonder who did Shia's wardrobe?

I for one CANNOT ******* WAIT for this movie! have been talking about it for years, and looks like charlie sheen will make a brief appearance in the film? awesome.

I've seen release dates of March or April 23rd, not sure which is accurate?

the more i see/ read about this movie, the more I like it (except for the gucci loafers.....maybe).

The trailer is classic, especially claiming "one mobile phone" from his prison affects

I'm a bit surprised by your optimism Fox. Thought you knew better, sequel's always fall short especially when it's a sequel to such a classic. Sure, it will be better viewing then "Valentine's day" or some stupid Seth Rogan film but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Shia's stuff looks awful.

movies like Empire Strikes Back and IJ & Last crusade give me hope.

I think the style will evolve in the film, possibly with Gekko giving Shia's character some criticisms. in any event, i think it will be a good 'suit movie'

he is in motion, a lot of what you said is simply from the fact that he is moving

It's actually most probably a simple dislike of Shia LeBouf (which is something I don't understand - you dislike a film star because of... what? why? You've never even met the guy!) or something else equally flaky masquerading as an objective criticism, so I really wouldn't give it the attention it seeks.

With respect, no. Unless movement changes:

Where his ass is... (Coat's too short)
What year it is... (lapels date it to August of 2008)
How big his arms are... (Armholes are too low)
The construction of the shoulder... (Roping is too roped).
OK, I'll concede this one for the sake of argument... (Also divets. )
Collar shape and construction... (Shirt's an advertisement for tie space and spread collars.)
Tie shape, construction, color and knot... (Tie's awful and the knot's too big. Who ties anything other than a FIH these days?)
Cuff height... (Cuffs are both too large and too small)
Shoe construction... (Shoes have a rubber sole.)

Not even the Incredible Hulk can affect so many aspects of his dress by moving
