I'll wait and judge the film once I actually get a chance to see it. I enjoyed the series a lot, and the trailers make the film look decent. Whether it turns out awful or not remains to be seen, but at least it has cool visual effects and James Newton Howard's beautiful score which is 100 times better than the series' music (and is surprisingly faithful to the series' musical soundscape, too).

I strongly disagree. The trailers for many animated films (e.g.
Kung Fu Panda and
How to Train Your Dragon) are absolutely terrible with stupid jokes and pointless meandering, but the films themselves are a lot deeper and more emotional. If I judged every film by its trailer, I would never have seen the majority of great films (animated or otherwise).
He also obviously cannot write as he proved with things like The Village.
I'll have to disagree.
The Village had a lot of good points, and it was an enjoyable movie with decent writing and fine acting. The cinematography in that film was very good, too.
