Watched some star wars nuts film themselves watching the official trailer....most started crying.... they were crying watching a fucking trailer.
I hope its a good movie, I like Star Wars...would love to see it return its original glory again, but lets calm the fuck down people.
Still, it will break all the records and all the toys will be bought if its good or bad...so we got more movies coming no matter how it turns out. _________________

I was one of the people who weren't quite sure if they wanter more "Star Wars". And when the first trailer hit, I wasn't convinced either. It was the second one that got me hyped.
I am, ofcourse, worried that they might ruin some part of the magic, by killing off a familiar character, for example (which is almost always the cheapest way to get attention and I think it's just downright wrong in most cases to kill a character you didn't create) or for it having too much shaky cam, lens flare and so on. Abrams' "Star Trek" was shot horribly in my opinion.
However, seeing rebel pilots and X-Wings and practical effects... I can't help but get excited. Yeah, I got my tickets already, which speaks how excited I am, but at the same time, I'm still somewhat worried that it might end up being bad in terms of story.
As for sequels, spin-offs and so on - those are happening, like it or not. For all the milking that could be done with old material alone, Disney isn't going to let it sit there. And what worries me is that they might try to go for quantity over quality... _________________ Anything you post can be used against you!

You are right about that, Fan. Disney did not waste any time cashing in on the Star Wars merchandise. I swear I have seen some of the most ridiculous shit with Star Wars characters on it. Wouldn't it be funny if Disney decided to change its name to OCP?

We'll come off the obvious Star Wars machine (though that's danger close for sure now) and I'll say that X-Files keeps looking better and better to me, though again, I have a bit rose-colored spectacles there.
Saw the trailer for the Independence Day sequel as well earlier. It looks alright. Some people are making a stink about no Will Smith but it's no big deal to me - We still got Pullman, Goldblum and Hirsch in there. I'm fine with that. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket. Now maybe you haven't heard, but I'm the guy in old Archive.

The trailer looks decent enough. I hope that the movie will be watchable at the very least. _________________ Anything you post can be used against you!

A trailer for the new Ghostbusters hit the web. And I already hate the characters. Seriously, I wasn't a fan of the idea of an all-female GB team to begin with, but the trailer makes all of them look annoying and far from funny.
Atleast the ghosts seemed neat.
In other news:
The first shot of the Power Rangers from the upcoming new movie. Can't wait to see what they've done with the suits. Hopefully, this won't try to be dark and edgy. I'm not saying it should be completely like the TV series, no problem with it trying to be more serious in tone, but it shouldn't go beyond "Pacific Rim" level of dark and serious. _________________ Anything you post can be used against you!

Pretty much the same here. Admittedly the trailer was better than I was expecting but only by a bit and that isn't saying much TBH. I'll certainly check it proper in due course but what I saw really did not better my opinion much. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket.

I watched the GB trailer just after reading you guys here. Indeed it looks bad, but my smallest concern was the female cast, I think the ghosts are what is really failing in there, they look terrible CGI, TV-quality, with that obvious and boring blue or green glow, they lack any personality. We are gonna miss more than ever practical effects, puppets, stop-motion, etc.

From the trailer, I like the visual tone of the actual film alright, but I agree with you on the ghost effects - Many people were praising that, while like you, I hardly see it as anything all that fantastic. One of the more negative comments said they seemed like some PS1-era cutscene graphics, to which I think they had a point.
This all before other, frankly problematic, elements of this film which don't help make it less of a screaming gimmick of some psuedo-social argument wrapped in a nostalgic sausage skin. :roll:
On a side-note - Honestly, I'm like you artu - I really miss practical effects anyway; Even the best CGI today, though I like and even enjoy, still lacks dynamically to 'real' practical methods. ED, RoboCAIN, original Terminators and so forth still remain impressive for their unfailing ability to have and show true depth.
Back to topic, though.. Batman V Superman trailers have looked pretty good.. Still not too hip on it but it's starting to grow on me a bit. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket.

The latest trailer definitely seemed better than the one that came before that. I like what I'm seeing of Batman. What I don't like is the dark tone Snyder's approaching Superman with. The lack of color and the destruction porn also REALLY bug me.
I'll be seeing it at an advance screening on March 22nd, but I'm not expecting much. And you guys know who Bat-crazy I am. If this can't get me excited, there's gotta be something wrong with it
As for practical effects - it's a lost art, unfortunately. I'd take crappy and stiff practical effects over CG any day. Well... almost any day. I don't mind CG if it's done right and used for the right reasons. But the problem is it's everywhere now. It's obvious and distracting.
Mad Max: Fury Road also had CG elements. Did they bother me? No, because they didn't stick out and they were used where needed. _________________ Anything you post can be used against you!

I'm definitely excited for Batman vs. Superman... after a string of boring movie from both Batman and Superman this seems to be a good way to get them back on track. Do we need yet another 2 hour long origin for each character? Hell no! There's a reason both of their origins were only a page long in the 40's. Everyone knows who they are... now show me them bashing their brains out for a while before the inevitable team up. Some say less is more... not in this case. The more characters and action scenes they shove in the better. Also I'm glad they got a good batsuit and someone who looks good in it. Affleck got the chin for it. Who cares how he is at playing Bruce Wayne? It's a Batman movie after all... and it's looking like a good one for once!

A trailer for "Batman Unlimited 3: Mechs vs Mutants" was just realeased. And it looks AWESOME!!... That is, if you can accept the goofiness and craziness of the "Batman Unlimited" franchise.
The whole thing is based on Mattel's toyline of the same name, which features hyperbolized and over-the-top designs and things you wouldn't expect Batman to have (Robo T-Rex and robotic Ace the Bat...wolf?). It's sheer kid-friendly awesomeness that spawned a bunch of animated shorts and two movies - "Animal Instincts" and "Monster Mayhem", the second of which, I thought was great and the first one also being more fun than pretty much every other DC cartoon in the past few years.
The new movie takes it to a whole new level as villains are turned gigantic and Batman and his pals fight them using giant robots!
Think of it as "Pacific Rim: The Batman Edition" or any other mecha/kaiju movie or anime.
Yeah, it's not what most people think when they hear "Batman", but it just looks FUN!
Here's the trailer:
