It looks stupid.

It looks better in that than it does in the previews during a commercial break.
That being said, I probably won't see it in theatres.

This isn't nearly as good as previous Eastwood films, and is pretty poor storytelling in my opinion. Clint makes it pretty clear what the characters are dealing with, and what they're feeling, but it is just slowly drilled into your head over and over. It's like Clint didn't think we'd get it if he didn't show it over and over very slowly and meticulously. On top of that, none of the characters are all that interesting, and their stories aren't very engaging beyond a few moments spread throughout the film. And the way things come together at the end is just cliche and isn't given 1/10th as much consideration as what leads up to it.
