Title: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on March 21, 2011, 09:57:05 am
Summer movie season is coming!

So I figured rather than trailers cropping up in random topics, we could post and discuss trailers pertaining to upcoming summer movies here. This is all purely speculation and discussion of movies that have yet to be released. Keep impressions on movies you've seen confined to this thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24 (http://www.segabits.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24)

What is to come this summer? A lot of stuff! Comic book movies, many from Marvel, big comedies, animated movies, sequels of sequels and sequels of sequels that are in themselves sequels!

Here are two trailers that recently cropped up:

HP Deathly Hallows Part 2 sneak peek:

Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides trailer:
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48936 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48936)

Looking forward to these two. Harry potter is looking to be an awesome conclusion. I reread the book after seeing part 1, and I can't wait to see all the action that will be crammed into part 2. Gringotts, lots of battles and a final confrontation. It'll be awesome.

Pirates 4 probably won't knock my socks off, but I'm glad they trimmed the fat and made this fourth film a stand alone adventure. Hopefully it is more like the first and less like the complicated sequels.

There's no full length trailer for Captain America yet and that film is probably the one I'm most looking forward to this summer. Here are another two I'm really anticipating.

This film looks really interesting, and I like the mystery that is in this trailer.

Of course I'm really excited for this one! :mrgreen:  The new footage of the Destroyer armor is really sweet.

With Thor and Cap America coming out, I completely forgot about Green Lantern.

[youtube:1n0z2ise]8NWGl_A3b60[/youtube:1n0z2ise]

Not really looking forward to it, as I was never a fan of the comic. I only read the first issue, so it probably has nothing to do with the movie, considering how many years occurred between then and now. I assume by the time I see the Marvel movies, I'll have had enough superhero movies for one summer.

Seeing how Harry Potter is the highest grossing films of all times and went on for 7 movies, I think 'The Wheel of Time' has a chance of doing more than one movie deal. I mean, 13 books, would be awesome for 13 movies. A tad too long for audiences imo. Maybe 8. Lots of sub plots that could be skipped over.

Ah, dreams.

Summer 2012 wins the cake so far, at least Comic book wise. Batman Dark Knight Rising and Sin City 2. Also new Superman and Spiderman.

2011 has Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol (no trailer yet) and...

Odd movie to make a sequel to... in the summer full of CGI giants. Could be refreshing.

I'm really looking forward to Hangover 2. I was one of those who liked it before it was cool to like it. :-|

I thought the cinematography was excellent, which is rare for comedies which usually go for the bland point and shoot approach. Also liked the mystery of the whole thing and how the whole crazy night slowly unraveled. Also, I'm a fan of Zach. Again, I liked him before it was cool to like him.

Am I the only one that wants to see a movie based on 'Youngblood' franchise? That and Preacher, Spawn, Sandman and Maxx. :)

I was looking forward to Avengers, until Ed Norton dropped out. :( Way to keep continuity Mah-vel!!! Still, if Thor and Cap. USA are good, then I'll definitely check it out opening weekend. I just hope they make a good movie after the years of setting it up. Oh yeah, and a reference to Spider-Man or something would be quite cool.

Let me get in on the action:

Pirates 4: Isn't getting me as excited as the previous 3, and I loved all 3. My favorite was the 2nd one. There is a big lack of Barbossa in the trailer and too much of the new characters.

Thor: Aside from an Issue in the X-Men I know squat about this guy, and the promotion screens made me think it would be some mythological crap, and then their was SEGA produced worst license game of all time. But the trailer was awesome, it might work.

Captain America: Same history as with Thor, but the game actually looks better than the movie, the only thing I liked in the trailer was the idea that the actor lost all that weight and bulked up again (or something to that affect).

Green Lantern: Same history as with the other 2, though I did see Justice League Unlimited and it had John Stewart as the Lantern. Didn't really like Lantern in the animated series, but this here feels more of a cartoon than the animated series.

This movie is going to suck big time, I saw an interview with Ryan Rennolds where he was talking about fixing the script, the writers messed up important quotes of the character that he fixed. If dum actors know the script is messed up, imagine how the badly messed up the script would be and this is the guy who starred in Blade Trinity and Wolverine: Origins.

Not a summer I'm looking forward to based on the trailers.

Post by: George on March 24, 2011, 02:08:58 pm
First time I will agree with something Cube said. I like Pirates 2 the best. 3 was confusing as hell though and I hated it.

Something that is always comical about Marvel movies is how serious their trailers are and how cheesy their outfits is. I mean, its harder to notice on others cuz they aren't side by side with WWII soldiers.

Post by: Chaosmaster8753 on March 24, 2011, 10:52:02 pm
The effects used for Red Skull look promising. A thing I find coincidental is that in 2007, Chris Evans played Human Torch in Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the same year Captain America got "killed" off in the comics, fast forward to 2011, the Human Torch dies in the comics while Chris Evans plays Captain America in The First Avenger.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes:

Actually looks pretty cool! Sort of a prequel to the classic, not the Tim Burton junk. 28 Apes Later?

That does look pretty good.  It may be nit-picky, but I'm really tired of "Rise of the" or "...Rising" in titles.  I think that's lazy writing.  In some cases, it doesn't make sense, like "Rise of thd Sliver Surfer.". Did he fall down, or was he sleeping?
Title: Re: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on April 14, 2011, 12:02:46 pm
Apes "rise" makes sense, as it is the rise of their own civilization, but I agree. Silver Surfer's "rise" was stupid, as is the Dark Knight "Rises". I was hoping for a new title, as it stands its the equivalent of Return of the Jedi being titled "The Empire Strikes Back Again". Why not something like "Knightfall" or "Gotham Burning"? Okay, those two stink but you get what I mean.

We see that word in titles so often it loses its meaning, and whatever punch it had was gone a long time ago.

I feel that way about the word "epic." It's been overused so much now that it doesn't has the same "oomph" to it that it once had.

Definitely.  In reality, it just means large.  An epic poem is 100+ lines long.

I've seen majority of the 1st film and I endured the 2nd one in theatre and it was the worst punishment I've ever had to deal with, rather watch King of Fighters or even Legend of Chun-Li rather than edure this shit.

It is very well produced and may look great but god damn it, it is painful to watch and just thinking about it is making my ears ring.

Green Lantern: Not sure how to feel about this. Looks a bit B-Movie in some ways, but looks good in others. DC just doesn't seem to be handling things as well as Marvel is.

Transformers 3: Hated the first movie, didn't bother with the second, but damn the special effects look awesome in this one. I'm not usually one to be caught up by flashy CGI but...

Tintin: Never really read the comics, but it looks promising. I hate Tintin's CGI face though.

Yeah! I was glad to see English actors. Looks like the script writers were great choices as well.

I recently read that Spielberg, who directs, also did the camera work. As in, he actually took control of the mocap camera and ran about the set and framed his own shots. Pretty cool stuff, last time he did stuff like that was the 1970's.

A lot of people do do that! In fact I would say Sega's biggest downfall is they have made shitty games like that in their most popular brands, if people play a Sonic game and find it to be total shit then they are bound to think that Sega are shit in general if that is their flagship title.

I believe Spiderman, Xmen, Thor etc are Marvels flagship comics, I shouldn't have to dig out a 1994 copy of Captain Antman to find something that interests me.

In all honesty I find crime fighting super heroes with magical powers to be an absolute bore, be it in comic form, be it the movies. It's always the same plot with a different power.

I'd take Tin Tin over that any day, hell I'd take the Smurfs over that any day.

Superman is probably my least favourite of the entire lot of them, they made him so powerful that any interesting plot is pretty much not going to happen unless of course the bad guy has Kryptonite and what a coincidence, they ALWAYS do...

In any story the hero needs to be flawed, they need a problem to over come... Superman has so much going for him that they have to come up with silly plots just to make him weaker to make the plot mildly entertaining.

Lame.

If there was one super hero I do like, it's Batman the new Batman movies, starting with Batman Beguins are probably the best super hero movies out there... (Bar the silly gruff voice the actor puts on...)

Still, super heroes aren't my thing.

No stupid mutations or magical powers, but the stuff they do is just about as unbelievable as Superman or the Incredible Hulk... It may as well be a magic suit.
I just think it's strange that you consider Marvel all crap because it's all the same, but you considered Iron Man and Batman's magic technology to be okay.

If Nolan's approach to Batman is to be expected, Bane will just appear as he is. They will not go into his backstory for seconds.

Also saw the new exclusive GL trailer on Yahoo Movies. Wow, this movie just went from being the underdog to the real major special effects flick.

Yeah I think Superman is pretty crap.

I've seen the Reeve Movies, all episodes of Smallville and several episodes of Dean Cain's show as well.

They all were terrible, did any body see the season finale of Smallville?

What pisses me off most is that his villain's are amazing but have to be dummed down, and ofcourse there is the constant fluctuation of how Kryptonite effects Superman.

and Guess what Batman's the best in my opinion as well.

You shouldn't base Superman off of Smallville. I stopped watching it years ago, the quality of that show was all over the place. Usually it wasn't too bad, but it used to fall into some real crap sometimes I think. There was one string of episodes in particular I really enjoyed, where Lionel was trying to make Luthor think he was crazy.

Aaanyway... I'm interested in seeing how they handle the upcoming Man of Steel.

I know what you mean. I think that TDK is going to be hugely difficult to live up to, but i'll be happy if it lives up to Batman Begins.

Cube is doing the same thing Sharky was doing to Marvel. Experiencing the weaker aspects of an incredibly large franchise. Smallville, Lois and Clark and the latter half of the Reeve films are very poor elements of the Superman franchise. Might as well have watched Barman & Robin, the old Adam West Batman show and read the All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder series. That would give one the same opinion on Batman.

Again, I present All-Star Superman, the Max Fleischer cartoons and WB's Superman animated series. Right there are some very solid representations of the franchise. Man of Steel could also turn out to be great, and personally I loved Superman Returns. The father/son elements of the story were very strong to me.

Yeah, I'm lost on the Smurfs and X-men comparison.

At least X-Men attempts to place itself in the correct time period to tie in with the other movies and thankfully ignores that shitty Wolverine movie. Actors are younger because they are playing younger versions of older characters established in the original films.

Smurfs movie is a pile of diarrhea. :P

Every live action/CG adaptation of a beloved cartoon/comic strip from the past MUST have:

• Toilet humor
• Rapping/singing pop music
• Countless references to pop culture (bonus points if they are so current, they become obscure and irrelevant in 5 years)
• Set in the modern day
• The main characters go missing, get kidnapped and are lost in a major American city
• If there is a sequel, they go to Europe
• Terribly mismatched celebrity voice actors playing the main characters, despite there being readily available professional voice actors who could emulate the original voices

Garfield, Garfield 2, Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo 2, Yogi Bear, Marmaduke, Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Alvin and the Chipmunks 2... the list goes on. :P Thank god they haven't fucked up Peanuts. If I ever see a CG Snoopy, I'll kill whoever is involved.

There are rare exceptions. The first Ninja Turtles movie was a great adaptation of the comics. It had hints of the cartoon, but wasn't too nutty and was actually far better than it deserved to be. Personally, I loved TMNT1 and enjoy TMNT2 despite the corny lines and Vanilla Ice cameo. The costumes were great. Good ol' Jim Henson.

The Flintstones movie was actually a very accurate adaptation. Any pop culture references were no different from the orignal show. How good the movie was is up to people's own opinions, but most people have to agree that it did a good job in being a live action version of the show. Now if only the Flintstones traveled through time, ended up in modern New York, went missing, sang a Lady Gaga song and Dino was voiced by John Hamm.

I agree that was sloppy, but considering that Cyclops had been taken down by Tigger earlier in the story arc by that weird catapult contraption, it was clear that Dr Strange had put some magicks effect on the woodland materials. In fact if it wasn't for Cyclops visor fallin off and him obliterating half the forest with his beams Pooh wouldn't have even had the logs available to make that steamroller.

I am frankly surprised at that, I was expecting an even bigger dud than Wolverine with all the characters that were expected and the cast (Also Xavier is meant to be an inspiration to bald men everywhere fools!)

Still not sure if I would watch it though, was not too fond of the protrayal for several of the characters in the prior X-Men films (Especially how ruthless they made Magneto)

Title: Re: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on June 01, 2011, 07:46:34 am
Five reasons why X-Men first class (probably) works so well:

1. No Wolverine. After 4 movies, he has had FAR too much time in the spotlight. With so many mutants, it's about time there was an X-Men movie without him.
[spoiler:269nqejw]He makes a cameo, but it is very brief from what I hear, just one line and it is quite funny. (he says "go fuck yourselves", lolz)[/spoiler:269nqejw]

2. Fresh cast, same mutants. Thanks to being a prequel, we're getting fresh actors without the movie being a goddamn reboot. So we get to see the return of characters from the original 2000 film, without actors returning 11 years after the first film. Don't get me wrong, I loved the first two X-Men movies and the cast (except Halle Berry). But I don't want to see a bunch of 40-70 year old actors running about in costumes. So we get the same Magneto, Xavier, Beast and Mystique but with fresh blood.

3. McAvoy and Fassbender. From what I've read, they nail the roles and have great chemistry. They might not look like Stewart and McKellen, but again, from what I read they have that same rivalry going that we later (chronologically) see in the 2000 X-Men film.

4. Bryan Singer returns, Gavin Hood and Brett "90 minute third X-Men movie, are you kidding me?!" Ratner get the boot. The guy who made the movies work returns, the guys who broke the series are gone. Bonus points for having Matthew Vaughn direct.

5. No 7-11 promotion, no video game adaptation, no Happy Meal, no BK Kid's Club meal.
Title: Re: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: Aki-at on June 01, 2011, 08:54:00 am
Whilst I am sure it will be a good film in it's own right, I think the drastic changes to characters and settings will still irk me far too much just like the first two films did. Especially how there was no rivalry between Wolverine and Sabretooth.

I am sure your list is partly tongue in cheek Barry, but I find the first point funny because its the fourth point's fault for making him so integral to the series!

Barrys second reason is the reason I'm least interested in it.
I hate 'fresh blood' and new actors.


No Patrick Stuart, no dice.
Title: Re: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on June 02, 2011, 06:21:33 pm
Most of the original main cast are simply too old to hold up an action movie like this. Even if a few returned for a fourth film (following the third), most of the new cast would probably be teens, twenty-somethings and folks in their early 30's anyway.

I love Patrick Stewart, but the actors in this new flick sound great! Remember the hunky heartthrob (women's words, not mine) who blew us all away playing the Joker? Never underestimate fresh blood.

Not sure how one can object against a fresh cast, it is set during the 1960s, you really cannot explain Xavier still looking like a 70 year old even back then.

Post by: cube_b3 on June 16, 2011, 03:56:45 pm
I am reading all the positive press it is receiving.

But I still can't rap my head around first class not being based on first class (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast and IceMan). I've read the original 20 issues of X-Men.

Then I have a problem of them trying to continue the arc from X3, which is very weird since I grow up on X-Men TAS, seeing Magneto be an X-Man is just weird as according to that continuity he is supposed to end up an X-Man not start that way :/.

X3 was shit, X2 was not based on Canon as well but at the time it came out I didn't mind it to much as it promised the Phoenix Saga in the next movie... so Barry are you as much of an X-Men fan as me, if so did the change of the actual class members bother you at all?
Title: Re: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: SOUP on June 16, 2011, 04:23:57 pm
@cube:
The best way to look at it, is that it's similar to the Ultimate comics. The movies aren't the same as the comics, but another take on the universe.
I'm a big X-Men fan (hundreds of X-Men comics), and the changes in First Class really didn't bother me as much as I expected them too. Going into it, I thought that the choices for characters weren't very good, and that the whole thing looked pretty bad. After seeing it though, the changes that they made worked pretty well in the context of the movie and aren't really anything to get worked up over. They even made some changes that I liked better than the comics [spoiler:33pera6h]ie: How Xavier ends up in the wheelchair[/spoiler:33pera6h].

Also: I totally agree with you on X3. They just crapped all over the characters with that one.

I'm a very casual fan, watched the 90's cartoon occasionally and owned a few comics. The shuffling around of the characters doesn't bother me in the slightest. Way I see it, there are many continuities of multiple comic franchises. As long as the general idea is in place (Prof. X oversees a mutant school, Magneto is the villian), I'm cool with it.

Also didn't the producer who casted him recently passed away, and Marvel is owned by Walt Disney now which means future movies will come out from a single studio like DC has Warner, which hopefully means they will be very careful rather than other studios trying to cash in while they still can.

Don't take Marvel to seriously they talk more than they actually do.

Punisher 2 was a weird situation, it had a script and everything written up, and Thomas Jane was really excited to get it underway before it went belly-up (mostly because the script was poo). Punisher Warzone was so close to good, with a great lead (Ray Stevenson) and great Director (Lexi Alexander), but the script was also poo.

Good point many times a movie is close to filming and everything falls apart.

That said, the entire fun is the journey and the best part of the journey is preproduction; hearing who was casted and the locations the film is shooting at are not spoilers instead they are food for thought.

This one, however...

If you're a Twilight Zone and Planet of the Apes fan, check out the fan edit (if you haven't already) that turns the film into a 25 minute Twilight Zone episode: http://www.theforbidden-zone.com/video/twzone_apes_480.mov (http://www.theforbidden-zone.com/video/twzone_apes_480.mov)

Pretty clever stuff, like reframing and the black and white colors. Also, the narration is lifted from another TZ episode and fits perfectly.

Trying to find a working link of the Amazing Spider-Man trailer at the moment. Not to post here, it would be down before anyone saw it. Just want to see it myself.

Personally I am VERY uninterested in the reboot. It has only been ten years and we're already getting a reboot retelling?? Why? What the fuck? Worse still, yet another variation on Uncle Ben's death. Another variation on how Peter Parker is bitten. Lizard is the villain (finally) and yet it is in a reboot that we get to see it. Not in the fourth film of a series that was actually building up Dr. Connors transformation. There is just so much of the reboot that either is old-hat or elements stupidly changed up for the sake of being different from the last one.

I think Raimi totally had a great fourth film in him. I would have loved to see Connors (of Raimi canon) become the lizard, and it becomes a race between Spider-Man and Kraven the Hunter to either save or kill him. Think The Most Dangerous Game set in New York. Bonus: no secondary characters bogging things down. Harry is at peace, MJ can be off at home chilling out, maybe planning for their wedding.

Instead, it's a reboot-a-rama!

I agree with you Barry.  I wonder what made Producers think this was a better way to go.  Maybe they thought 3 movies should be it, or they reallly hated Spiderman 3, which isn't fIr since Raimi was pressured to pit Venom in it.  It was a B- movie rather than an A like the other two.

At the very least, I would have put up with a recast of Peter and MJ and had the movie continue from the last one in terms of their relationship and Dr. Connors becoming lizard, using the same actor from 1-3 for Connors. I'd even be okay with a new director (though I'd like Raimi as a producer just as how Bryan Singer produced First Class). Go sort of the James Bond route where its the same Bond and just a different actor. Like how the Connery, Lazenby and Moore films all followed the same ongoing plot (Bond's dead wife and SPECTRE being the continuing thread).

Even if Amazing Spider-Man turns out to be good, which I'll admit it might, it's just too much retreading too soon. Batman deserved a reboot, but I just don't think Spider-Man does.

^ Yeah! I saw a clip for that over at aintitcool.com. I was surprised by the quality of the CG ape and the fact that John Freakin' Lithgow is in it!

Same opinions as before: unnecessary reboot, don't really care to see another origin story, is it just me or are they trying to be all serious in a Dark Knight sort of way? And whats with Peter's parents being in the movie?

In other news, X-Men First Class blu-ray art revealed:

Sounds pretty slick! I like the alternate covers, and the fact that they fit perfectly with the original X-Men blu-ray package design:

I'm more excited for Spider-man now that I've seen the trailer. (I wasn't excited for it at all before).
Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, like I was with First Class. That looked and sounded pretty crappy from all the marketing stuff I saw, but turned out to be my favourite in the series.

I think similar low expectations will help this movie out in the long run...for me at least.

The trailer mostly makes me want to play Mirror's Edge.

WTF the teaser for Spider-man lolo.  I mean. You get a hot red head, give her a roll in a spider-man movie where she plays a hot red head... but force her to dye her hair blonde for the movie. Am I missing something?

Also, the first person CGI wasn't very good. I mean, it was... very... fake. Besides that, it looks like a Spider-man movie... the retelling of the first one. I don't know why we need it, the first one was good enough.

Who is the villain for this one?
Title: Re: Summer Movie Trailer Thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on July 21, 2011, 05:25:13 pm
The Lizard.

Personally, I enjoyed Green Goblin as the first villain Spidey faced. Yes, the Goblin suit sucked, but I thought Peter vesus his best friend's dad was a far stronger connection than a science teacher. Unless they really push the relationship between Peter and Connors in this new film.... and I mean relationship on a strictly professional level. Though it'll be tough to not make it too much like Spider-Man 2 with Doc Ock. That was another teacher figure who he had respect for, turned into a monster and Peter had to help/fight him.

The character is most likely Gwen Stacy or Liz Allen, both of who were blondes.

Just looked it up. Shes Gwen Stacy. Eh. Why does Hollywood love getting fake blondes? They did this with Fantastic 4 as well. There are plenty of hot blonde actress' .

I haven't seen any of the Final Destination films, but a trailer for Final Destination 5 came out a little while ago and I thought I'd show it for anyone who was interested.

Well I caught Midnight in Paris last week with this girl, the trailer kind of blows, but it has tons of great actors and was written/directed by Woody Allen. I dug the shit out of it, has a 92% on RottenTomatoes, I recommend it:

They seem to be clearly going for a darker Spiderman, especially since this director has some background on dramas.


The Thing remake is... well... Odd. It seems like a much less gory, more psychological horror-focused  then the previous film. But that overgrown cockroach is kinda throwing me off.

Red Tails finally flies and it will be out early next year.

The production for this film has been anything but uncomplicated. Apparentely George Lucas was meant to only produce it and ended up directing a lot of scenes himself.

The WW2 aerial dogfights were one of the inspirations for GL in Star Wars, so he's sorta coming back home. Effects look great and all, but with the troubled production...

Really looking forward to Red Tails!

From what I've read, pre-production is the only thing that was really troubled, as it started in 1988 (!!!). However, once a cast and director were in place, things went smoothly. Effects look great, cast looks good and the director has a strong background (The Wire, True Blood, Heroes). I also love the logo.

Anthony Hemingway directed the film. During reshoots, he had to direct an HBO series so Lucas stepped in and directed the reshoots, which basically fill in the gaps and fix scenes from the original shoot. It's a relatively small process, so no fear of dueling directors.  I watched a web doc on the Revenge of the Sith reshoots, looked like Lucas loves that phase of filmmaking so it should turn out quite well.

I thought Spiderman was suppose to be a joke cracking teenager that whined a ton when life got hard. Now he seems like "DARK KNIGHT IN SPIDERMAN OUTFIT"

at least in the trailer.

Holy shit that looks worse than Spiderman 3. The new actor doesnt suit his role at all, from what I gather this is departing from the comicbook story and that CGI was absolutely shit.

Saw that! Looks interesting. Sort of like the texture of the Superman Returns costume (I assume it has hundreds of tiny S shields imprinted on it) combined with the logo of the originals. His hair looks a little odd, but whatever. Hope its a good movie and not a waste of time! They also cast Laurence Fishburne as Perry White. I'm cool with it, but I totally get why some people are not. I'd prefer somebody who looks like the comic character (a la J.J.J of Spider-Man), and the comic character just happens to be white. Doesn't make those against Fishburne racists, though that seems to be the backlash against those who don't want Fishburne.
