Looks meh. It feels like they're going for Lincoln but the dialogue they gave us glimpses of doesn't sound up to snuff. Oldman looks good, with some of the line readings seeming awkward at first but on another watch I felt more confident that it'll be fine in context, not unlike some who thought DDL sounded off in the first trailers for Lincoln only for his actual performance to blow everyone away. Lincoln's great strength, aside from its ensemble, was its stellar screenplay. I'd put it in contention with any adapted script of the last twenty years. I just don't have faith in the hack who wrote The Theory of Everything to live up to the potential such a story could have (and has had; Brendan Gleeson remains my definitive Churchill).

The Oldman Rises ps : did Gary actually gain weight for that part or is he wearing a fat suit ? Fat suit, he's thin. He revealed that he spent over 200 hours in the make-up chair to become Churchill and “carried around half my body weight” in the prosthetics to add the pounds to his slight frame. THANKS

Looks fine. Oldman looks great, though I'm not convinced he'll win an Oscar. It's only July after all.

Bahahahahahahhahaha GARYS ACCENT What the hell are you talking about? Gary's accent rules. He's always been the best actor in the history at accents/getting down someone's persona. Nobody does it better. Nobody. Watch Air Force One, True Romance, and Dracula and get back to me. I've watched em all, and I love Gary, but that wasn't even Gary, and not in a good way.

Looks like Gary Oldman killed it in the role but i'm not sold on the trailer except for Delbonnel's Cinematography and Lily James

Oldman is best when he reigns in his performances, and I've only seen him do that in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. All of his "personas" feel fake, stagey, and manufactured and this looks no different. There are lots of actors that could give the same performance he gives in this trailer. Compare it to Lithgow's Churchill in The Crown, who actually feels like a real person and not just a persona, and the difference is glaring.

Oldman looks like he is trying VERY hard which I never saw from him before to this extent

Looks like a film I will probably like. As for Oldman he has some great scenes and some less convincing ones. But of course its just a trailer, so you can't really judge from it.
