The rest looks good just fix murray, i have no problem with the Sly or Bently design. Still rather had seen a Sly saturday morning cartoon show.

Looks like they made them look even more real.
I don't have a problem with this considering the high fidelity of the CG.
As a fan of the games I am definitely excited and so will my kids.

Looks better in motion
Same voice actors except for Sly I think
Models for Sly and especially Murray look off
At least the environment looks great
Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank are reasonably easy to create into films - with R&C it's a retelling of the original. With Sly, it's probably an origin story too.
What the fuck would they do with Jak? Start at Precursor Legacy where he's a mute living in a nice, green world, where later on he'll be thrown into the future, tortured, filled with Dark Eco and have to save his younger self and send him back to the past? Come on.

Ok that looks pretty awesome! The animation seems good and it sounds like they got the same voice actors. Murray still looks pretty terrible but a little better in motion and from different angles.
The movie will be in 3D as well.

Well that doesn't look that bad. I mean the CGI quality is surprisingly good, but for the love of god, why would you turn cartoon characters into semi-realistic uncanny beings? How can you turn such charming and well designed characters (Sly especially is an awesome character):
into these realistic atrocities? It's supposed to be some kind of sunday morning cartoon and the games translated that well with cell-shading and great artstyle, so what is with these horrid redesigns? I mean a hoodie? pants? boots? really?
Such a shame, because this franchise sure is appropiate for a decent animation movie. But with these redesigns, hell no.

I like what I see. This should be a fun movie to watch. Long long time away though.

Because its probably cheaper to put out this crap.

The blog mentions that they didn't really nail it with Murray and that the music isn't final
I wonder if they will change it along the way
2016 is way off

Ok, it looks way, way better in motion. And the dialogue certainly fits the never hilarious but consistently amusing style of the games. Just don't make the games take this route graphically.

Sly looks alright, Bentley looks great actually and of course, like everyone else said, Murray looks like complete ass. Does he have a fucking tumor on his neck or something? Go fix him up and make him look like his in game design. Seriously, he looks hideous. Still, looking forward how this turns out.

This looks really nice.
Alright, now I can safely cast final judgement:
1. Um... was there something wrong with Sly's voice from the games? Really weird to have the other two VAs return and not Kevin Miller. This new guy doesn't do a much better job or anything either.
2. Bentley manages to be the only character mostly unscathed, I preferred his comical "dot eyes behind thick glasses" look but they probably changed this so he'd be more expressive so it's understandable. Sly is ok, but he's lost his jovial, mischevious look in favor of a persistent angry smirk that doesn't quite sit well with me, and Murray, as we all have said, still looks like shit.
3. Animation was decent, and the humor seems to be roughly on par with what's seen in the games. They did well on that part.
Overall, I'm sure I'll end up enjoying it once it releases but I don't think I'll be able to get over those designs. Hopefully this teaser was released early enough that they can make some tweaks based on fan feedback.

That's... actually not awful. Bentley is just fine (weird seeing his eyes, but it works). Murray, it's all been said. Sly's not awful, except why keep everyone's voice actor but his, and he still looks too realistic for the world he's in, and just wrong in spots.

Had reservations after hearing about this.
Now that I've seen the trailer, it doesn't look half bad.
But yes. The Murray looks weird.

Murray didn't look that bad to me in the stills, but he looks 10 times worse in motion.

I am baffled that people could find this a good idea, but good for anyone who does. I do hope it turns out to be a great movie but have absolutely zero expectation that will be the case.
Is anyone worried making a bunch of CGI movies will hurt Sony's branding as the other "cool, adult" videogame company after years of telling everyone how kiddy Nintendo is? Unless we think these movies are going to be either of these things?
MS' Halo movie and show are more likely to hit those buzzwords in my opinion but will also probably be terrible.

Looks iight..I guess. 2016 huh? Guess we should be expecting a next-gen game before that to help raise interest? Pretty far off..
Sly's design looks fine, Bentley's is meh (it's the fact that you can see his eyes that throws me off), and Murray's...his could use some work. He's got a T-shirt tan in the trailer so I'm guessing he's not going to be rocking the wifebeater the whole time. Also, he needs his goggles. Designs aside, this movie looks promising. The designs aren't completely movie breaking. I like the voice acting and the animation, especially on Sly's freerunning.
But of course, there are two important character designs that we still need to see...

Looks awful. Just awful. Kudos for getting the original voice actors to return, but those redesigns are ugly as sin.

It looks good so far from the trailer. I agree that Murray looks off but hopefully this is still production work and can be changed in a nother year or so before they put it out.

It looks really bad and I think Sly would be better off as a tv cartoon.

It's what you should expect from a Sly Cooper movie. Similar humour, same voice actors(+-), same tone and feel. If you're going to make a game into a movie this is how it should be done.
I personally think it looks great, having done all four games in a row after falling in love with the first game and having a tremendous love for the series this is what I would have wanted from the movie.
Will I see it? Probably not. Looking forward to the game that accompanies the movie.

they are so going to over designed Clockwerk and make it look transformer-ey
Carmelita seems like it'd be an easy transition, probably more clothes to cover more fur.

Bentley looks good, the other two not so much. Way too realistic.
I hope it's good, just like I hope the R&C movie is good. Not holding my breath.

That trailer was good. It captured the feel of the games perfectly. Sly's voice actor made his voice a bit more smooth an cocky this time, which works.
I'll go see it day 1 in the theaters. R&C and Jak and Daxter as well.
