Trailer review from SH:AGoS x2
I saw it twice at 2 different theatres.
Trailers in common: "Battleship", "John Carter of Mars", "The Dark Knight Rises", "MIB3"
Both "Battleship" and "John Carter of Mars" were different trailers, though.
One theatre had the stupid "Titanic in 3D" trailer, the other (thankfully) did not.
Same theatre had "Rock of Ages", which was an odd fit. It's a rock opera, and sort of...crazy looking.
Same theatre also had "This Means War", so I forgave them because it looks AMAZING. AND HOT AND SLASHY AND AMAZING. (Story: Tom Hardy and Chris Pine are both CIA operatives who are besties fighting over Reese Witherspoon. Cue shenanigans. Also, the slash community basically wants them to forget her and just get together. I can't decide who I want to win, because, you know, nu!Kirk, but then TOM HARDY.)
Other theatre had "The Dictator" (new Sacha Baron Cohen--looks awful) and "Jack the Giant Killer", with Nicholas Hoult (Beast/Hank McCoy from XMFC) and might be okay. Dunno, it's Disney. But it has Ewan, so it might be okay. :)
"Battleship" will either be "Transformers" 2.0 and therefore OK, or horrible. (There are aliens, okay?)
"John Carter of Mars" look surprisngly good, but it's Disney, so I'm not sure. I thought "Prince of Persia" was going to be epic, but it ended up just being okay, so I have a feeling JCoM will end up just being that: okay. (It stars Taylor Kitsch, whom you might know from "The Covenant" or being Remy LeBeau (Gambit) in "Wolverine: Origins".) He looks too young, to me, but whatevs.
(Story: Civil war vet gets mysteriously transported to Mars where he helps win a war (?) and falls in love with an alien (?) princess.)
"The Dark Knight Rises" has a split-second JGL moment, so I was so happy. And it's really hard to understand Bane, so I hope they clean him up in post-pro. Catwoman is apeshit, in the best possible way, and there wasn't really any Bruce/Bats. Which was fine, btw. There was a Batplane, which looks awesome, but who's driving the Tumbler? And the collapse of the Gotham football field was very well done. (There's not really a "story" there, so much as clips of this that and the other thing.)
"MIB3" looks good, and hopefully it will be better than MIB2, which was okay but nowhere near as awesome as MIB. They got a bb!Kay, who is played by Josh Brolin, who has Tommy Lee Jones down to a "T"! (Pun totally intended.) Time jumps, aliens, etc. Yay!
I saw posters but not trailers for "The Hunger Games" and "Underworld: Awakening".
YAY FOR TRAILERS.
I LOVE THEM LIKE WHOA.
