Holy Guacamole! Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Trailer Astounds!

At this point in the superhero movie landscape, I think it’s safe to be completely skeptical of anything SONY might be doing on their own for Spider-Man. But the teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse looked amazing, and now the full-length trailer looks just as spectacular!

The hype is real. Here’s hoping SONY can pull it off! They even make the alternate reality Miles Morales stuff make some sense!

The animation also looks superb! And the comedy quite funny. This movie looks damn good!

The film debuts in December.

Oh For the Love Of…Another Movie Trailer! Mortal Engines!

I didn’t think Ocean’s 8 was that big of a release this weekend, but we’re getting a bajillion movie trailers this week! Or maybe they’re all preparing to go in front of The Incredibles 2 next week? Or Jurassic World in a few weeks? I dunno!

But here’s the first full trailer for Mortal Engines!

Man, that sucked!

Way to kill all the excitement engineered from the first teaser trailer.

I don’t know anything about Mortal Engines. I don’t know if it’s from a book, a comic or the fevered brain of Peter Jackson directly. All I know is that the teaser trailer was insanely cool! Giant motorized cities cruising around the apocalypse having mobile war? It looked amazing! I’d never seen anything like it!

But you know what I have seen before? About 95% of this dumb new trailer.

Are you kidding me with this? You have this crazy original visual to play with and show off, but your trailer is standard stock sequences of Hugo Weaving and vaguely attractive young people standing around in metal  hallways debating blah blah blah?!

I realize the movie doesn’t come out until December, and therefore a lot of the CGI probably isn’t finished, but show us something! This movie will live or die on its awesome visuals, and after this trailer, it looks pretty dead to me!

Mortal Engines, show us what you got!

The first LEGO Movie 2 Trailer Has Landed!

Here is the real trailer I wanted to share today! The first trailer/look at The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part! And it looks great!

The first The LEGO Movie was a true masterpiece, as far as I’m concerned. That movie reached me in ways most movies and entertainment don’t anymore. The LEGO Movie touched me.

So I am very, very excited for the sequel! The movie looks nifty. The Mad Max-style stuff looks great, and it appears we’re going into outer space to meet another sub-brand of LEGO! Should be fun.

It’ll hit theaters in February 2019!

So They Really Went and Made a Bumblebee Spin-Off

I never saw the last Transformers movie, the one with the King Arthur stuff. I loved the first movie, but every other one has been trash. I thought we all knew this. Of course, we also knew that they still made a lot of money.

So here’s a spin-off starring Bumblebee! It’s really going to exist!

Looks fine to me. Weird coming of age story starring Bumblebee. If that’s the movie you want to make, more power to you!

The New Trailer for Wreck-It Ralph 2 Kind of Wrecks My Interest in the Film

I’m still going to see Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 opening weekend. There’s no doubt or hesitation. But the new trailer released today kind of…I dunno…annoyed me?

See for yourself:

So yeah, the only search result for a website that is “really intense” and “super nuts” is Disney’s own website? And then the trailer just becomes Ralph and Vanellope hanging out with Disney characters and making really obvious Disney Princess jokes?

Does the movie Wreck-It Ralph not exist in this universe? All these Disney characters can exist on the Internet, but but Wreck-It Ralph doesn’t exist as a movie?

I dunno. The trailer just bugged me. It was all self-referential Disney nonsense.

And I get the joke poking fun at itself for the movie name…but it still went with the wrong movie name. “Break the Internet” is not a famous enough phrase to not use “Ralph Wrecks the Internet”, no matter how “kewl” the blue lady was designed to be.
