So Many Flippin’ Movie Trailers!
I am definitely losing the battle for posting fun stuff from San Diego Comic-Con. There’s been a ton of really neat trailers, and I’m way behind on sharing them, let alone the cool comic book news. But it’s Saturday afternoon, and I’m ready to drop some cool movie trailers on your henchies!
We’ve got Godzilla: King of the Monsers.
Looks darn cool! Bring on all the monsters! I liked the first one, so you best believe I’m excited for this one.
Then we’ve got Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Yeah, totally, more Wizarding World movies! I’m way in favor of those. I’m sure this one will be a blast. Remind me before this movie comes out to tell you all about how Newt Scamander doesn’t actually do anything in the first film in the series.
Then how about the trailer for Glass.
I loved Unbreakable, just like everybody else. I haven’t seen Split yet, but I’m sure it’s fine. And bringing them together sounds good to me! Let’s do it!
I think that’s all the movie trailers I have to share right now. And I know I’m missing some others that debuted. But I’m only one man on only one blog!
I’ll share some TV trailers tomorrow!

New Kong: Skull Island Trailer is Pretty Darn Artistic
I’m not sure what to expect with Kong: Skull Island. I’m worried that it’s just going to be a big, CGI-filled action movie that just happens to include King Kong. But there’s a new trailer that looks absolutely phenomenal!
Like, that’s the most artistic movie trailer I think I’ve ever seen! It’s well edited, it’s got exciting new footage, some great dialogue bits, and it even makes John C. Reilly’s random comedic relief character seem alright. I dig this trailer.
Also, the movie comes out in less than two weeks! We are definitely already in prime movie season, it would seem!

I’ll Believe’em When I See’em
Yesterday’s comic news cornucopia was abuzz with announcements of a Godzilla vs. Kong movie, a Y: The Last Man TV show and two official X-Men shows about Legion and the Hellfire Club. The news was everywhere.
But here’s the thing: I’ll believe’em when I see’em.
And this is one I really want to see!
All of these announcements could be true…or they could just be the same type of announcement we always get. Where’s the Booster Gold TV show that was announced? Where are the Lobo and Metal Men and Justice League Dark movies that were announced? Where’s the Y: The Last Man movie that was announced?
The only project I actually believe will happen is Godzilla vs. Kong, but even then, I’m skeptical. These announcements happen all the time and few of them ever come to pass. So by all means, they can announce whatever they want. But let’s see them put their money where their announcements are!
Also, seriously, Legion and the Hellfire Club?! FOX has access to the entire X-Men library and they chose the two dumbest things to make shows out of? Where’s my X-Factor detective show, dammit?!

We Get It, Godzilla Doesn’t Appear Much in the Godzilla Movie
It’s called delayed gratification, people! If the movie was just 2 hours of Godzilla fighting monsters, it would get boring within the first 5 minutes!
I really only have two sins for the new Godzilla film. 1.) How did Ken Watanabe have any clue that Godzilla was some kind of ‘protector of the Earth’ and would arrive to restore cosmic balance? Where did that hypothesis even come from? 2.) When all the main characters are together at the end prior to parachuting scene, why didn’t they have a moment where they meet up and acknowledge each other? Watanabe and the general met Ford earlier in the film, then they all end up at the same base camp in the end? That should have warranted some kind of moment!
Also, Cinema Sins does have a point on arresting Bryan Cranston. Why have the cops arrest him one day, but then on the next day, he’s delivered right to the heart of the operation, on the same day the monster hatches?
Seriously, though, I loved this movie.
Godzilla Gets Taken Down a Peg
I still like the movie, even if it’s just as troublesome as the Screen Junkies say. And now that I think about it, every single human character in this film, with the possible exception of Kick-Ass, really is superfluous to the story. Bryan Cranston doesn’t do anything to impact the plot. And Ken Watanbe’s character doesn’t make any sense. Where does he possibly get the theory that Godzilla is some kind of Earth defense system? How does that theory even form in his brain?!
