The holiday season is typically the movie season for the Oscar films, but every year Hollywood saves a few blockbusters to be released. This year movies like “Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows” and “The Adventures of TinTin” are keeping us entertained over the holidays. With these big movies being released it is the perfect time for trailers to be released for the big movies of next summer. Last week was a big week for trailer releases and I wanted to take a quick look at them.
“Prometheus” – Here Ridley Scott is returning to the Sci-Fi genre with may or may not be a prequel to “Alien.” The movie looks like “Alien,” but for some reason they won’t admit that it is. The trailer looked like some people doing a few crazy things on a ship and then on an alien planet. The whole thing looks cool but I have no clue on what the movie will really be about. It was just a series of quick images and no substance. This did nothing to peak my interest in this movie.
“G.I. Joe: Retaliation” – The first G.I. Joe movie wasn’t that good. But it did set up a killer sequel and it is nice to see that this movie is not going to completely ignore that ending is exciting. This movie looks to be embracing the campiness that the Joe cartoon was famous for. While it hasn’t excited me enough to go see it in the theater yet, it has planted the movie on my radar.
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” – I love “The Lord of the Rings” movies and the books so I don’t really need a trailer to sell me on this. I’m going to be there in my costume on opening night seeing this movie. But, it’s nice to see that this will be more of the Tolkien realm that I expect from Jackson. I’m excited for this movie.
“The Dark Knight Rises” – I’m conflicted about this movie. Not that it will be bad, I trust Nolan, but whether or not to watch and dissect all of these trailers. This is the last Nolan Batman movie. Part of me wants to know as much as possible as soon as possible, but another part of me wants to go in blind. This trailer showed that the stakes will be ratcheted up quite a bit and will feature plenty of callbacks to the first movie. I could not be more excited for this movie.
