So Chris Pratt is Definitely Leading an Army of Raptors

My favorite Super Bowl commercial this year was the new trailer for Jurassic World, which confirms that Chris Pratt will indeed be some kind of Raptor King.

This trailer is a fair bit cooler than the first trailer. Solid Super Bowl advertisement. But where was the Super Bowl ad for Ant-Man?!

A Day For Movie Trailers Starring Children

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, the cool movie trailers are going to start ramping up. Next year is only a few weeks away, and as I understand it, there are movie studios who are going to actually try and compete with Avengers: Age of Ultron. To do that, they’re falling back on familiar franchises with movies that star young boys.

First up is Jurassic World, which promises…I dunno. It’s either going to herald a return to glory for Jurassic Park or turn this franchise into the equivalent of Friday the 13th movies. And be on the lookout for star Chris Pratt. Every single line he has in this trailer seems straight out of a parody, especially at the 1:42 mark. Seriously, he might as well be in an SNL skit.

Jurassic World comes out on June 12.

The second film is Pan, telling a prequel, of sorts, to the classic Peter Pan story. This movie is probably going to bomb terribly, like John Carter. Not only did they cast a white actress to play Tiger Lily, but Capt. Hook is a good guy in this film. They seriously brought in Blackbeard the Pirate just so that they would have a pirate in this film while still being able to make Capt. Hook a hunky good guy. It’s ridiculous.

But here’s the trailer anyway!

Pan hits theaters on June 26.
