Borrowing a page from my favorite film blogger, I’ve decided to take a look at some of the recent trailers. Let’s start with the final film in Christopher Nolan’s take on Batman, the Dark Knight Rises.
Yes
-That football game sequence of the field blowing up. Those affects look amazing
-The supporting cast: Joseph Gordon Levitt! Marion Cotillard!
-That sound editing, especially with Hans Zimmer’s score and the chanting, amazing
-The flying batpod is super cool
No
-Tom Hardy’s voice. Heaven help us if that’s how it will sound during the film cause NO ONE will be able to understand what he is saying
-Anne’s introduction. They should stay away from direct comparisons to other Catwomen
-this trailer seems to hint at political overtones in the film…which was what doomed the last 30 mins of The Dark Knight
-the trailer is kind of an amalgamation of weirdly put together scenes and introductions, it’s kind of jumbled
Maybe So
-Nolan tends to know what he’s doing, so maybe the pensiveness of this trailer is purposeful.
-Bruce Wayne is looking a little tired, maybe they have some big surprise in store?
Even though I am a definite yes on the movie, this trailer isn’t the best I’ve seen from Nolan and Co. Everything about The Dark Knight advertising was fantastic, but this is like a downgrade. What say you?
