Up
The latest movie from Pixar, Up.
Can Pixar do it again? Probably.
Their films are generally overrated, but I don't think I have ever seen a bad one.
Is this going to be the cartoon version of Gran Torino

Public Enemies
This is the trailer for the new Michael Mann movie, Public Enemies. The film stars Christian Bale and Johnny Depp.
Period pieces are so tricky and this trailer reveals the risks. The accents sound really goofy on Depp Bale in the trailer. Also, Depp's character's plot sounds a lot like his character's plot in Blow. And that movie was completely average. Also, I think the trailer gave too much away.
Final Trailer Rating: 5/10

Knowing
This is the trailer for the latest Nicholas Cage vehicle, Knowing.
Doesn;t Nicholas Cage have enough money. He is a talented actor and it is just so frustrating that he has been wastings his talents for years on this garbage.

Terminator: Salvation
Last week, I looked at the teaser trailer for the new Terminator movie. This is the full length version.
Really nothing new to add here, which is probably a good thing. Not much of the plot is revealed so this is basically just a full length teaser. (Hopefully this doesn't mean the movie has no plot). The only difference with this new trailer is that we got to get a look at some new characters and new robots. As with the teaser, I'm sure fans of the franchise will be excited, but the trailer once again failed to get a non-fan excited. Can this film be more than just a bunch of explosions (ie: can this movie be more than a Michael Bay Movie?)
I am still intrigued though.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Michael Bay is back and this is the teaser trailer for the film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to 2007's smash hit (from a money perspecive).
Your opinion on this teaser trailer is probably your opinion on the first film. Hence my lukewarm reaction to this trailer. I thought the first film was merely okay. I doubt this film is going to be much different from the first one, for better or for worse.
Expect more movies in this franchise.

Terminator: Salvation
The Terminator Franchise is being rebooted (a popular idea lately), and this is the trailer of the first film of a supposed planned trilogy.
This is the first teaser trailer that I have analyzed. I find that teaser trailers are an extremely effective way of hyping up a movie. It works near perfectly here.
My main problem with this trailer is that I know the film is directed by frickkin' McG. He is most famous for directing the two Charlie's Angels films. Therefore, it is hard for me to get excited for this film even with Chistian Bale in the lead, no matter what the trailer shows. Also, the whole Terminator franchise is extremely overrated. Still, good effort with the trailer.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Marvel decided to create a series of spinoffs from the very succesful X-Men series. This is the trailer for the first spinoff, Wolverine.
Now, this is how you build interest in a summer blockbuster. I was initially very skeptical about this film. It has an intriguing cast but the last film was such a disappointment that I had lost faith in the series.
However, this trailer got me excited. At the very least, this trailer made me feel that this film will be entertaining. Not only that, but the trailer barely revealed anything about the plot.

Spider-Man 2
The Spider-Man franchise was (and is) one of Hollywood hottest products. Below is the trailer for the second film.
This trailer reveals so much about the details of the film. My Dad and I were actually angry when we saw this preview.
The real frustrating part is that it was so unnecessary. I contend that if this trailer just rvealed the title and opening date that the film would have made the same amount of money. So why ruin it important plot twists for the audience.
They actually show Peter Parker's major arc throughout the film. In the trailer, we see that he decides to stop being Spider-Man and then later decides to be Spider-Man again. Ridiculous.
