Fair point but I'm not really interested in hearing from another positive (unless this is a more in-depth thread on the movie), then it's just a giant circle jerk. This is a bit of a reaction thread to a new trailer so it's far more engaging to hear from both sides. I wanna hear why you didn't like it, there may be things I missed that are glaring issues, inconsistences, etc. I commented to the response that grabbed my attention because it had such a different reaction from my own. |
The trailer is too overdramatic. A lot of what's going on seems like over-acting, which is an idea that will probably be made fun of, but has been done in movies and is a pretty valid complaint. Most of all though the most dramatic events are being publicized before the movie comes out ... which I don't think is a good thing and if i remember correctly Episode 7's trailers did a good job of only slightly hinting at what events will happen in the film. I feel like the fact that a lot of the "twists" are in the trailer makes it too obvious that these twists will be mundane or easy to predict.
In general though, the biggest reason I don't think it looks good is that it's a sequel to Episode 7. They'd have to make everything significantly better to improve it over the last film, and that would take a lot of work, dedication, and creativity. Something that hollywood is not known for. This still looks to action oriented for me, personally. But it is nice to see a focus on character growth, as cringy as these Rei scenes look already.

Actually, yes, because it's an attitude that doesn't annoy everyone else around you. I for one always try to avoid watching trailers for movies because they spoil too much way too often (though that wasn't the case with TFA's trailer, which I also didn't see until after the movie), so I can't judge this one - however, based on the name, the logo, the one teaser I watched and both of Disney's attempts at Star Wars I can say I am extremely pessimistic about this movie, to the point I don't even care anymore. TFA tried too hard to be like ANH, this one looks like it's trying too hard to be like Empire, which is worse in my opinion (not in the sense that Empire is a worse movie than ANH, but in the sense that trying to replicate it is bound to yield much worse results). Still, despite my negative opinion on this, I haven't bothered to actually come talk about it because I haven't seen the trailer and I don't feel compelled to ruin the hype. |
How is this : "This looks awful ... hope it turns out better than the last one "
Annoying? It's not. You're just excusing obvious double standards. My comment was not even overly negative, and it wasn't making fun of other people's beliefs either. It wasn't annoying. If people are annoyed by it that's their problem. If people are annoyed or bothered by my comment, what can i say? That sucks. But I made it as mundane as possible. I can't even see how it ruins anyones hype. I'm annoyed by your comment, by the way
