Exactly, that's all these teasers are, to get our attention, get us interested and anticipating.
However, while I don't doubt we[NS] will be getting som nice interaction, and moments, but would it kill them to show us SOMETHING in these teasers?!!
Throw us some bones here...
I think people should ask them to show us something of Sakura's involvement in the real plotline instead of just the minor point of Sasuke comedically stalking her. Sakura is one of the main characters of the movie but we've seen almost nothing of her involvement in the real plotline.

Maybe if enough people ask for something that hints at Sakura's involvement in the real plotline with Naruto, Minato and Kushina, they'll post an storyboard sketch or something. (Years ago Yuu Watase urged American fans to write to Studio Pierrot on an issue with the animation, she said Pierrot would listen to the fans, including American ones, more than they would her. The more people write the more the animators will see fans are hungry to see Sakura doing heroic acts in the anime....)
Even being a narusaku shipper and as much as I'd love to see romantic narusaku scenes, at this point I'd like to see Pierrot acknowledge Sakura's intelligence and skills in some scenes even more. Even if there are romantic narusaku scenes in the movie (and I'm expecting there will be a few.) I'll feel disappointed if Sakura doesn't have at least one scene where she is talking with Minato and they trying to figure out how to break the genjutsu. Minato and Sakura have somewhat similar thinking styles and it would be a great showcase for Sakura's character to have this kind of scene.
I also feel certain Sakura will have at least a couple of fighting scenes, but I want to see her other strengths on display in this movie. Pierrot has occasionally shown Sakura fighting in non canon material, but other than part 1's movie 3 I can't recall a filler that Pierrot did that showed Sakura's intelligence as part of her victory in battle, and in showing she perceived another person more deeply than she let on (They didn't overblow her tsundere side for once- it was very close to manga canon Sakura- which is big part of why that movie is my favorite of the part 1 movies. Naruto isn't written as stupid and loudmouthed as Pierrot usually overblew him in part 1 either, that's the other big reason) It, and Shippuden movie 3 are the only ones so far that I could watch more than once, and actually enjoyed. (although Pierrot does the usual and way overblows Sakura's tsundere side in Will of Fire, at least it keeps being reinforced that Sakura acts this way because Naruto is the guy she loves... Still, I would have greatly preferred in the hospital room scene at least to see Sakura acting more like her manga canon self would in part 2- see the hospital flashback scene in chapter 343...)
As for Rock Lee, if you slow down the trailer that was just released and posted on here yesterday afternoon, there's a quick glimpse of Rock Lee (looked the same from what I could see) with Guy in a fight scene with the Akatsuki. There's a quick glimpse of Tenten as well. Sakura still only gets two brief scenes, the one with Sasuke that has been discussed ad nauseam and a newish (showed up first in the June 29th trailer) face shot that looks to be on the battlefield. Wonder why they've cut out the bleeding arm, anguished expression clip from all the trailers since the second one- the only one it was shown in... I thought it was quite an effective clip of Sakura from the movie, a far sight more interesting than what's shown up in other trailers- at least it shows her involvement in the main plot....
