Super Bowl Teaser Spots: Part Two
Here’s part two of the post on the Super Bowl teaser spots. Please see the first post for trailers of G.I. Joe, Transformers 2 and Star Trek.
Land of the Lost
My childhood is crying in despair right about now. It could be entertaining, but I guess I was expecting a bit more than just Will Ferrell doing his usual routine with dinosaurs involved.
Up
Oh, Pixar. You certainly know how to come up with some interesting concepts for animated features. Looks good and visually stunning, but I think I need another trailer to convince to go see this one.
Fast and the Furious 4
Does this even need a comment? The action scene at the end of the spot had me rolling my eyes instead of squealing about the special effects.
Year One
Hilarious. I hadn’t heard anything about this movie before I saw this spot, but I definitely want to go see it now.
Super Bowl Teaser Spots: Part One
The Super Bowl teaser spots are now online – including the first Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen trailer, which Michael Bay said wasn’t supposed to go up online until next Friday, as well as ads for Pixar’s Up and – I know everyone is chomping at the bit for this one – Fast and the Furious 4.
G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra
Looks interesting enough and it has all the qualifications for a summer movie flick, but it’s not high on my must-see list. Maybe once more commericals come out and I get more of a feel of the plot, it’ll start looking more appealing. The Eiffel Tower effect looked amazing though.
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
…
I will get back to you as soon as I pick my jaw up off the floor. Transformers 2 is at the top of my “Must-See-in-Theatres” list and just think: if this is 31 seconds of complete and unending awesome, what’s the rest of the movie going to be like?
(Answer: Plenty of crass humor, explosions, lots of gratuitous shots of Megan Fox, slow motion heroic shots of the military, explosions, cool cars, giant robot fight sequences, oh and did I mention explosions? This is Michael Bay we’re talking about, after all.)
Star Trek
Many of the shots are from one of the earlier trailers, but there’s some new footage in there, including what looks like an attack scene on San Francisco and a cool sky diving scene.
Please see the second post for the trailers of Up, Land of the Lost, Year One and Fast and the Furious 4.
So what do you think? What Super Bowl teaser spots have you wishing it was summer movie season already? Which ones have you shaking your head and mourning the loss of all good things in the world? Share your thoughts below.
Edit: It appears the Transformers 2 trailer may be getting yanked from YouTube. My original link disappeared shortly after this post and I’ve put a second one in place. If it doesn’t show up, that’s probably why and you might have to go hunt down a version to see it for yourself.
