Pre-Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailers
Jurassic Park: the new one Looks godawful.
Terminator: We Can't Spell looks more interesting. By which I mean, my thought pattern went 'new liqui-terminator looks familiar', 'OMG, OMG, new Terminator is being played by Lee Byung-hun, I must see this' followed by 'actually what they're doing with the plot could be interesting anyway'.
Tomorrowland at least doesn't look to be based on any pre-existing film franchises, so it's got that going for it. And there's a British actor not obviously playing a villain (I don't expect that to last longer than a quarter of the way through the film). And, despite the vaguely Oz-ian scenery, of the three films it's the one I'm most interested to see.

Terminator: We Can't Spell - lol.
I think Tomorrowland is based on one of the four "lands" that used to be at original Disneyland (may still be), they also used to have stories based on the various "lands" on The Wonderful World Of Disney that was a staple of my childhood.
We got Ant-Man which I didn't think looked awful but I have no idea how to judge. Though Michael Douglas's beard is awful, and Fantastic Four which only makes me wonder how Johnny is black but it could be interesting, I actually quite liked the first ones in their way. But I don't know comics so both could be terrible of course.

I saw the Ant-man trailer without sound over someone's shoulder so I'm going to wait until I get to see it properly before I comment.
Apparently Johnny Storm is going to be Sue's half-brother. I wasn't too fond of the old Fantastic 4 films because I loved their Ben Grimm (because Michael Chiklis is a Ben Grimm fan and it showed) but I really didn't like how they did Johnny Storm which was :( because he is my favourite of the Four.

I do like how Paul Rudd seemed but he's another actor who has much goodwill with me. Plus, no background so.
that could work with Johnny and Sue. I did like their Ben and I am ridiculously easy for Ioan Gruffudd, but part of the reason I'm not fond of Chris Evans is not caring much for Johnny. Not all, but it is a part of it.
Warning tl;dr on Johnny Storm up-coming
I think it's part of this really odd thing where Hollywood has to make any attractive, unattached male a horn-dog because they think it appeals when it appeals to no-one (see also Reboot Kirk).
Re: Warning tl;dr on Johnny Storm up-coming
Ah yes. It very occasionally does to some people I'm sure or they wouldn't keep doing it (I hope). Kirk was also because of the popular perception of TOS Kirk which... is not how Reboot Kirk is, but there is a reason for the perception, even if people get it wrong.
