I wanna see it, but I'm going to not expect much. Makeup looks great. I'm cold on Hopkins being present -- I always have this vibe with him (even in Silence, which IMO is a wildly overrated performance) that he disrespects this kind of material and gives it the slice of ham he thinks it deserves, only for people to still rave about how great he is. Laughing all the way to the bank. Still... other reservations, that they WILL overdo the CGI one way or another, almost as if it's an obligation to use it these days rather than a useful tool to be deployed where genuinely needed... I'm imagining lots of over-wrought, faux realism, let's explain everything to death, let's have some furious action for the sake of it... but I'm feeling a Scrooge mood coming on, time of year, etc. I want to be joyously surprised, tho.
