A run-down of trailers/previews they showed during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2:
- Sherlock Holmes 2 — Looks amusing. Hope there’s more there than what we see in the trailer, though, since it comes across as a shallow rehash of the first film’s flashy quicks. Will probably go see, unless it gets bad word of mouth.
- Cowboys & Aliens — I plan to see this. It just looks fun.
- Real Steel — If they made a “Rock’em Sock’em Robots” film, this would be it. And … I’m really not interested.
- Abduction — Look, it’s The Bourne Identity, only with an angsty teen. Pass.
- Happy Feet 2 — Kill me. Please.
- Glee, the 3D Concert Film — Why haven’t you killed me yet? How hard do I have to beg?
- The Three Musketeers — A steampunk (musketpunk?) 3M? Well, it’s a fresh way to frame a story that’s been remade eleventy-dozen times. I don’t know that I’ll hit the theater for it, but I might look for it for home viewing.
So 2-3 wins, 2 passes, and 2 eye-gouging-out horrors. Not bad.
I forgot to mention, during the “First Peeks” or whatever it was, before the Previews, there were also ads for TV shows “Terra Nova” (I’ll be checking it out) and the new “Thundercats” (ditto).
