Hey guys! I just wanted to share with you my thoughts on 3 recent trailers.
Xmen Apocalypse- I thought this was a good trailer and I’m excited to see what Bryan Singer is going to do after Days of Future Past, which I loved. I know some disagree with me but I’ve always loved the women in the Xmen world and that has drawn me to the series more than other superhero franchises. So naturally I was really excited to see Jean Grey right off the back telling her dream to Charles Xavier. I am intrigued by Apocalypse and the connection to the 4 horsemen. I loved seeing the new Storm who looked great! Mystique/Raven looks to continue her emotional run from Days of Future Past. We got a few shots of Magneto and Nightcrawler and then a closing shot of Professor X in his wheelchair. So cool and it’s hard to argue with the cast- Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Jame McEvoy, Oscar Isaac, the list goes on and on. Love it! But the big question is where is Wolverine? 🙂
BFG- This is just a teaser trailer but I’m really optimistic about the direction they are going in. It looks like old school Spielberg like an ET or Hook, something with a little magic that he hasn’t done in a long time. I love the book but always felt it would be difficult to turn into a movie because of the rather grisly premise but I trust Spielberg and his team. I really liked the look of the lead girl and the way they did the narration in the trailer was very effective.
Kubo and the Two Strings- This stop motion film from Laika was totally off my radar but I loved this trailer! It looks so different than anything Laika has done before- without the gothic, spooky feel of their other films. I particularly loved the water and the look of the characters. It is a Japanese adventure of a boy trying to find some magical armor that will save his family. I really thought this trailer worked and introduced me to the movie which is the point of a trailer after all. I also thought the music and adventure of the movie looks very promising.
What did you guys think of these trailers? Are you excited for any of these films?
The Laika movie naturally interests me because it is animation, but generally, I will decide based on reviews anyway.
Cool. Thanks
