About those trailers... {TMI}
8 years ago
Hiya! A small kitten gather some papers together, marked with crayons above a card box that says: "NEWZ FLASH" =_=
In case if you missed the news, a bunch of movie trailers were released this week all over social medias... And... The majority of them look horrible. I mean, horrible. Seriously... Horrible on comical levels. So, let's shred everything into pieces before making another major conclusion, okay?
First: Jumanji - Welcome to the jungle
Seriously... What is the f***ing problem with Sony Pictures? They never really were great with blockbusters, but at least they had some level of decency. Take for instance Spider-man 2; the movie isn't any master-piece (I bet Homecoming will be away better) but the movie was pretty good regarding the original trilogy with Tobby McGuire.
I mean... I still remember the scene with the Subway, how good Doctor Octopus was portrayed (okay, not necessarily well adapted, but still a pretty good character). Hell, not to mention all the success from Columbia Picture's past. Remember MIB?
But Jumanji... Man... They really f***ed everything... I bet that even Dwane Jhonson can't save this one... The trailer doesn't give me any good impressions, the effects looks cheesy, the humor is horrible (even for a "kid's film") and it makes me remind of Ghostbusters 2016...
Second: Inhumans
Man... I'm not sure why, but only Netflix so far was able to handle Marvel's IP outside the cinema.
Yes, it's true that Daredevil and all the spin-offs series were filmed on the ABC's studios... But the writing is away different (and guess what? The effects looks at least reasonable enough to be taken seriously)... But man, they really f**ed up with that Teaser.
Inhumans looks like a joke. The outfits looks pretty ridiculous, and being a TV series is no excuse. Yes... People do say: "It's to mach their characters on the comic books" and okay, that's fair enough... But man... Even that first Captain America outfit from The first Avenger (the one he used in the musicals) looks better.
I jus can't take this narrative seriously. And man... The teaser somehow made the plot even more confusing to me. Are they trying to leave earth? Is their leader betraying then? WTF is happening?
And yes, the effects once again look horrible. Even Jumanji actually looks better... I mean... That scene with the dog is freaking hilarious (in a bad way).
Third: Netflix's adaptation of Death Note
Honestly, I was already expecting the characters and the whole setup to be anything but japonese. I mean... It's an live action adaptation of a anime, if it looked good however... That would be already a compliment. And it does? Yes... A lot actually.
I mean... Ryuk actually looks pretty good for a character made entirely in CG. The plot looks decent do far... No major complaints here.
Conclusion: Man... If the Netflix take on a anime was the most interesting trailer... Hollywood seriously need to rework their marketing.

- Inhumans I will give a chance. Maybe it will find a way to make the whole "Game of Thrones but it's weird and they are from the moon" thing work. Mostly interested to see the lead go through most of the screen time without speaking
- Haven't finished the anime yet. Will need to further my research...
But yeah, some trailers got it, some don't
