Calling It: Justice League is Gonna Stink
The first proper trailer for the Justice League movie arrived on Saturday, and while the rest of the Internet seems blown away, I have arrived at one conclusion: this movie is gonna stink.
The trailer looks exactly like Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Heck, this trailer looks worse than the trailers for those movies. I remember being excited about those trailers.
Justice League looks like just another dark, joyless affair. All people seem to care about is seeing their favorite superheroes in cool poses. But as we keep seeing, that doesn’t make for a good movie. Most of this trailer is just the heroes fighting faceless henchmen. We don’t even get a sense of the villains or the story or the scope of anything. It’s all just gray-colored action posing.
There’s one joke at the end, but the comedic timing is way off.
So I’m calling it right now: Justice League is going to be another dreary, poorly paced, over-stylized action movie that does not save the DC Cinematic Universe.

Movie Trailer Monday!
A bunch of great movie trailers came out over the weekend, and like a proper lazy person, I’ve saved them all for today! Let’s kick things off with the new Wonder Woman trailer!
Good times in Wonder Womaning, for sure! Lots of action. Neat flashbacks to her origins. There’s still a lot of hope for this movie.

Hey Look, It’s That There Justice League!
A picture of the united Justice League movie team hit the Internet over the weekend, and I’m gonna share it with the lot of you. I’m just that cool of a guy.
Finally, some good Aquaman
Looks like a neat picture, but is, of course, all dark, gritty and really gloomy. This isn’t very heroic-looking at all. But this is going to be our Justice League, so all we can do is hope and wait.

Wonder Woman Will Protect Us On Election Day
Today’s the big day, America! Let’s do it to it and vote and stuff. I guess. I don’t know about you, but I’d much prefer just to watch videos where the new Wonder Woman movie trailers are synced up to the classic Wonder Woman TV show theme song!
Kudos to Sebastian Hughes for making it happen. This stuff is just super fun!

New Wonder Woman Trailer is Pretty Neat
I might still be jonesing on that Guardians of the Galaxy teaser a few weeks ago. This new Wonder Woman trailer delves more into the story and characters of the film, and it’s a pretty cool offering.
By all accounts, this could be a solid, enjoyable movie. I like that it’s set in World War I. Not a lot of movies are set there, and the visual of Wonder Woman fighting in that kind of gritty war just looks cool. Not so hot on the soldiers invading Paradise Island, but I’m not one to argue against changing an origin story if it works.
