The monsters look just fine, which is why I'll be seeing the movie, waited half my damn life for those things to get to the screen. Acting leaves a bit to be desired though. And I'm glad I read the book enough so the trailer can't give away the whole plot to me.
The Mist in 3-D sound probably does have better acting.

I was not overly-impressed with the trailer. I love the short story but it's one of those where you have to wonder where the other hour of story is going to come from for a feature-length movie.

Would be a better trailer (and probably a better movie) if they didn't show the monsters. No matter how good CGI gets, some things are still just better left to the imagination. This movie, and the "Cloverfield" movie would probably be great if they just left the monsters to the viewer's imagination.
This trailer really grabs my interest until it shows the monsters. The only monster image in the trailer that is scary/awesome is the tentacle pulling the person away.

While it is true the creatures in the mist are not "Tetsubo said:

Never saw "shawshank", But IMHO, Green mile was good because it deviated little from the book other than dropping the wrap-around. Though maybe i am biased due to Dreamcatcher and all the other times movie makers have changed and ruined Stephen King tales with thier own tweaks and additions to leave thier own mark on the story. Sometime a change is needed due to medium or due to not offend audiences, but something tells me audiences could have accepted a powerful psychic in a stephen king movie* without making him anRodger Ebert said:

I haven't read the book, but my impression from watching the trailer is that the movie itself might be better if it didn't show any monsters. The horror of what may or may not lurk in the Mist itself is what really grabbed me- once I saw the monsters I was like, eh.

Well, the novella (not quite a novel), the monsters are clearly described and seen by the people in the store, though not really explained. So they have to be in the movie.
And half the people going crazy is also in the story, so that's pretty true to it, too. (It's kinda like a Twilight Zone episode only with almost Lovecraftian style monsters)
But it looks like there's some stuff after they get out of the store, which seems like is adding to what was in the story.

But I don't think the monsters in the mist are really the point of the movie. The "monsters" inside the store are... how humans will quickly, very quickly, divide themselves into "tribes" and start taking out the competition... the true monsters lurk in the hearts of men...
