[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread
- Thread starter Adam
- Start date
Through 4 movies, 2 actors, and 3 directors, the movies have ranged from Very Good to Very Great, that's good enough for me. Also it's nice to see Matt Damon on Earth again.
have you heard of these fast and/or furious movies that keep making a billion dollars every other year?

I knew someone was going to bring up fast and furious. I guess I should've said "one of the few". And "that I enjoy".
So they finally figured out that you can't do the Jason Bourne movies without Jason Bourne.
The Bourne movies are just solid action/thriller from start to finish. I can't think of any of them that I didn't enjoy.
@Bubble181 , @Dave explained the reference early...
Don't worry -- I gently reminded him that we have a system in place for such things...
If only we had a rating to indicate when someone needs a clarification...
Which is why I rated his "informative" and "hugs". Darn the bastard for explaining before I had even asked!
Yeah okay, I'll probably see this.
Aaaand... can never unsee now, new X-Men movie is hereby ruined for me.Heh:
The trailers haven't really sold me on this one, Ivan Ooze or not. It just looks kind of vanilla. The last two X-Men movies (three if you count Deadpool) have felt really ambitious and interesting in their own ways, and this one just feels like "and now it's time for the Ultimate Bad Guy!"
Apocalypse was my favorite villain from the animated show, and after the last two had very unsatisfying antagonists, I'm all about this.

I just hope Oscar Isaac went to every shoot hungry, because the world expects him to chew ALL the scenery.
You know, cheesy as most of that show was, some of those Apocalypse quotes are pretty great. Some definitely went over my head with the literary/history references, too, when I was young.

Which is good, because otherwise things might begin to happen.
Perhaps because they're very recent... the base does look very Weapon X-y. But it likely just the angle he's keeping his fist compared to his arm... the cgi couldn't fix that.
Stephen King's Cell
This one's been in development hell for a little bit, and in that time cell phones have changed. The book was written with the flip phone in mind, but now that we have smart phones, it kind of screws with the mechanics of the premise a little. As shown in the trailer, people use video chat if they can. People hold their phones in front of them on speaker instead of up to their ears. In the book, there's a signal that comes through, but how does that translate to a video that's being recorded somewhere else? It only matters at the beginning of the story, but still. This is what happens when you waffle on whether Eli Roth should direct a movie (the answer should always be no).

It's like they forgot inbetweens and just said "fuck it, color the keys and ship it."
Oh goodie, another "they're not zombies!" zombie movie.
Couldn't they have just set it not in the immediate present?
