BATMAN V SUPERMAN TRAILER SNEAKS ONLINE!
Okay the trailer is online! What do you think? I'll give my opinion soon!
UPDATE!
Sorry for the confusion! I "acquired" the trailer and youtube shut it down. Zack Snyder and the folks at DC released the REAL trailer for all to see so here is the official HD quality trailer of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!
My review:
I think the trailer does exactly what it was supposed to do - let people know DC is still here and this is a small tidbit of what's coming. That's all well and good. However, I still think it's definitely not enough.
First, there was nothing visually compelling that we've never seen before. Let me explain. Yeah, the Batman uniform looks cool and it's a fanboy's wet dream. A couple of shots of Superman doing his thing, with some people fearing him, labeling him a false god. Others cheer him as a savior. All cool, but so what? As a fan I want to see something unique with this movie and it's characters. Honestly, the last movie that visually blew my mind was the Matrix. The last movie I saw that had awesome fight sequences was the Raid and the Raid 2. Even Marvel's Daredevil (please catch it on Netflix) has some great fight scenes. Now, if you guys see the aforementioned movies you have to think to yourself - why haven't they portrayed Batman like this? It sucks to say, but the Raid movies were low budget compared to Marvel or DC movies, and it completely destroys all of their fight choreography. I know DC is going to copy, but dammit, it better be done greatly! Batman is supposed to be the world's greatest detective and master of ALL fighting arts. I want to see Batman literally break opponents arms and legs when he fights. If Gareth Evans can do it with minimal budget, than Zack Snyder better bring that pain like Method Man.
So my conclusion is: The trailer was - eh, okay. Good design for the Batman suit but it is irrelevant until we see him in action. By the way - where was Wonder Woman?
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Tom Cruise returns as the uber spy Ethan Hunt in the next installment of Mission Impossible
Official synopsis:
Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate – an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.
Man, I swear Tom Cruise has a fountain of youth elixir. Every movie he consistently steps it up in action. There are no limits with him, only plateaus. Personally, I can't wait to see this movie.
Avengers: Age of Ultron - Trailer#2
Watch the exciting Trailer#2 for the Avengers: Age of Ultron
Marvel released the highly anticipated Trailer#2 for Avengers: Age Of Ultron. And they moved the release date up, so instead of May, the sequel to the Avengers will arrive in April, which happens to be my birthday month. So I guest the big "A" in Avengers will also stand for Aries.
You know what I liked about this trailer? It's balanced. A good blend of the classic hero shot introducing us to the band of heroes and villains, but not going over the top revealing too much of the action we all want to see. Great job Joss Whedon (and just as importantly: Editor, Sound and especially the VFX team) who cut the trailer. Now if Zack Snyder will release a Superman v Batman trailer my month will be complete!
Enter The Ant-Man
The Astonishing Ant-Man!
Marvel Comics Ant-Man releases its teaser trailer and what do you think? Honestly, its pretty the much the same format as the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer. An outsider (who's a criminal) who needs something. Someone who is willing to help. Quick shots of action with Ant-Man, a beautiful woman and lastly a body shot of the newly muscular Paul Rudd. My opinion...it's eh. Nothing to get me excited, but enough to get me intrigued - which I suspect is what Marvel wants. The extended trailer will no doubt give us more. Check out the teaser below and let us know what you think!
