 Frankly I wasn't sure what was taking place. I recognized the Civil War uniforms, but before I could try to figure out what battle or skirmish or whatever, the preview had raced on to the next scene. Then it dawned on me that this was not so much a Civil War story as a post-war score-settling story.

The pounding stylized or "rockified" bluegrass background music was the major hint that this must be the long-awaited Hatfields and McCoys drama I had read about quite awhile ago.

I have to confess I enjoyed this preview MORE than "The Avengers." Maybe I am getting too old for the super hero genre, but will save judgment for after this summer's Batman.

Oh, as an aside, I liked the stylized bluegrass music so much, I hurried to Amazon.com and pre-ordered the soundtrack to the "Hatfields and McCoys." All too often these days, music is the best part of movies.

You can see the preview to H & McC at the link I provided above. It has that addictive music too.
