trailers with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
In honor of finishing my immense Tor.com post about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, to be linked here when it goes live, notes on the trailers!
Unfortunately the notes I took in the theater got eaten, so I have to reconstruct this by looking at upcoming movies on IMDB. Let's see, the new-to-me ones were:
Earth to Echo: almost content-free trailer about teenagers finding an alien something in their neighborhood.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2: I didn't see the prior one, but this looked derivative and boring as fuck.
Edge of Tomorrow: an SF-war meets Groundhog Day story in which Emily Blunt has way more screen presence than Tom Cruise.
Jupiter Ascending: seriously epic-looking SF from the Wachowskis, with a female chosen one (yay!) who seems to be in peril a lot (boo!), and . . . stuff, I honestly don't know what else, just a lot of stuff. Oh, wait, Sean Bean, who presumably will screw up and die in some more-or-less affecting way.
Also, we got the Captain American: The Winter Soldier trailer, which is not new to me, but eeee big screen! I already talked at great length about that (spoilers for more than just the trailer), so let me just add that there was a scene of mass destruction without Inception-style horn blares on the soundtrack, hooray.
