trailers with Avengers: Endgame

[kate_nepveu]

• Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw: different trailer, still like getting bludgeoned with testosterone.
• 21 Bridges, has extra opening seconds. I would like to think that Chadwick Boseman is going to pick movies that are thoughtful about the police's exercise of power, and there are a few hints toward that maybe, but based on this it's a hell of an uphill battle to get me to believe it.
• The Lion King: I just can't even.
• Long Shot, but none of the trailers at IMDB seem to be what we got? Anyway: oh look, Seth Rogen screws things up for Charlize Theron, whee.
• Godzilla: King of the Monsters: that's a lot of giant monsters, none of which looked really convincing, and also you don't get to use "One X to rule them all," sorry, you just don't.
• Gemini Man, has about one extra opening second. Will Smith fights his younger clone; I have no feelings about this.
• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The thing is, okay. The Last Jedi had major problems, but I feel, in retrospect, that it was at least trying to do something that wasn't just "coast on nostalgia," that it had a point of view that it was trying to express? And this does not give me confidence that that's going to be carried through. Because giving a trilogy to different directors and letting them do, apparently, whatever the fuck they want is a bad creative decision.

I have had no urge to rewatch it, though I suppose doing the good-parts version of Rey & Finn has some appeal.

Maybe? Finn's bullshitting about how he's a Big Deal in the resistance is no more endearing than it was on the first round, I have to say. I dislike that kind of lying intensely.

Anyway, there's stuff in it that's good, but there's a LOT of wasted potential and just bad plotting. Han Solo sacrificing himself for the idiotically sentimental idea that his genocidal son was worth saving--and for no other reason!--just, argh.
