[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

I think part of the problem with the Suicide Squad trailer is that it didn't show us anything we didn't already know. They already released pictures of the Joker and the Squad, so given the limited characterization in the trailer, there wasn't much to get excited about.
 
Yeah, that Suicide Squad trailer just looked...alright. Not really outstanding or major in any regard. Just sort of there. The only thing that seemed like it could have any promise at all (aside from issues about how her costume looks) is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.

See that's what I don't get, though. Nobody really did anything save for Deadshot and Waller.

I'll admit that it's partially from how I like the idea of her playing Harley Quinn. When it was first announced that she would be playing Harley Quinn, it took a moment to realize just how well that fit. She seemed like she could sell the crazy and fun that goes with Harley. Also, for me, she was really the only one that stood out in that trailer. I admit it could be some of my bias due to the idea of the casting, but everyone else seemed like the same grit that Warner Bros. is going for. Something about her just stood out, at least for me.
 
Which is better than the Batman vs Superman trailer. Setting the bar high, folks!

The only surprise for me was Waller. I hadn't seen any news about her being in this, but the moment I saw the actress, I knew exactly who it was.
I actually am intrigued and curious about Batman v Superman now, because of the trailer.
 
What's your definition of a good trailer? Because this looked boring to me.
If it can leave me laughing for a good five minutes even though I know I have no intention of seeing the movie and despise the entire franchise. I'm looking at you, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. :)
Tom is hanging on by his fingernails to the side of a transport plane in mid-flight, screaming "OPEN THE DOOR!!" The ramp drops. "The OTHER door!!"
 


Yeah, this still looks like crap.
Fucking Techno-organic armor bullshit...

How fucking hard is it to just have this guy show up....



If you can't get Doom right then it doesn't matter how good you do with the heroes themselves, it's going to suck. It was a problem in the first two FF movies, and it will be a problem in this one.

"HE'S STRONGER THAN ANY OF US!!"

"But he's not stronger than ALL of us!"

Did anyone else see that second line coming and feel like...:puke:

See in the right context that line could be awesome. Cheesy, but awesome. The problem with that line in the trailer is two fold.
  1. It's clearly two lines cut to be back to back instead of one line delivered with gusto.
  2. The trailer doesn't convey the unashamed heroic tone needed for the line to work.

I can't possibly think of a context where that set of lines wouldn't be over the top and cringe-worthy.
 
Oh it's over the top. But so are a lot of lines in comics. You see lines like that one more in things like Shonen series and Tokusatsu. Where the heroes are all but beaten, before their final push. The production basically needs to be unashamed of the trope.
 
You don't need much to make a good Doom.

-Insanely self-centered and vain
-The power and intelligence to back up the posturing
-RICHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS

Why is this always so hard for them?
 
Now that I've actually watched the trailer--was I the only one who would've rather watched that prologue be some unrelated science fiction story than have it bounce ahead to the Fantastic Four?
 
I don't know what everyone's complaining about, I mean we've had a robot Green Lantern, a rock Green lantern, a jerk green lantern, I don't see why a cyborg green lantern is that stra-
*rereads posts*
-oh....well yeah they clearly forgot what movie they were character designing for.

Seriously though this does not evoke Doom in any way,the eyes kill the whole thing. And yes Thing without pants is weird.
 
Someone mentioned a thing that I didn't realize until they mentioned it:


Did they switch to undersea instead of volcanoes?

They switched it to them going to another dimension. They probably figured that a green landscape would be more alien and jarring than a red one. People read so much into these things, I swear.
