Trailers and Films
Aug. 2nd, 2014 11:56 pmThe Good Trailers
Planes 2 - I am so there for this. (Then again I was also there for Planes 1 and Cars. I am all the little girls that internet feminism insists have no interest in anthropomorphic vehicles.)
Expendables 3 - I am even more there for this. The trailer was incredibly good at it's job because I went from 'I'll probably see this because' to 'must see now!!!' in the space of watching it.
The Meh Trailer
Lucy - Yeah, I know, but it just looked kinda meh.
The bad trailers
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - mostly because the turtles still look less realistic than the men in suits from the '90s. And they've turned Shredder into a ninja robot. The trailer also contained not one but two references to how cracktastic the premise of the film is, which strikes me as a bad idea because the people who aren't children of the Turtle era are going to go "I don't want to spend £5.50 on cheesy nonsense that even the filmmakers can't deal with with a straight face" and us Turtle children are going "what's so cracktastic about mutant turtles, that's what mutagenic ooze does."
Into The Storm - which really looks like Twister: the Revengening, and generally bad.
The trailer so bad it is terribad
A Dolphin's Tale 2 - Now granted, I am not the target audience, dolphin-mad teenage girls are, but those dolphin-mad teenage girls are going to know, like I am, that that is not how you transport a dolphin. I could deal with the rest of the godawful animal melodrama if it didn't make several howlers along the same lines.

On to the actual films.
How To Train Your Dragon 2
( Good, solid film. )
Hercules
I am the wrong person to talk about this film, because it was like ( catnip for my id. )
I really enjoyed Hercules, but it may as well have been made for me.
