We had half an hour of commercials (!) and movie trailers and commercials again before the movie started. Ugh.
Doctor Doolittle: I read the books back when I was a youngling, so I’m primed to like this. That said, it looks like a lot of grimdark being slathered onto the story to make it more exciting for modern audiences. That said, jumping jiminies it has a hella lot of talent, and it looks gorgeous. Not sure if I’ll see it in the theaters but, assuming it doesn’t bomb, I will see it eventually. Maybe even if.
Wonder Woman 1984: There are aspects of this trailer I like — the period feel, plus WW. There are aspects I don’t — Steve Trevor popping back up, and overuse of the lasso. But let’s not kid ourselves: I will definitely be going to the theater to watch this.
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar: Gods, no.
Free Guy: This looks potentially cute and/or a lot of fun. We’ll see.
Top Gun: Maverick: I feel no need to support Tom Cruise or, more particularly, his religious charity of choice. Especially for a retread / sequel of a movie I didn’t think was all that to begin with.
Tenet: Or, Inception 2: Time Rewind Boogaloo. It looked kind of interesting, but I’ll probably wait to stream it.
Onward: Good to see a trailer for this that doesn’t get bogged down in backstory and setting. Still not sure it’s worth a trip to the movie theater.
Black Widow: Same trailer that’s been around some weeks, albeit at movie theater screen size. I’ll be seeing it.
Mulan: I’m very equivocal on this one. Waiting to get more feedback.
Half the fun? 30 minutes and only two films of any interest to me (Black Widow and No Time to Die). 20% of my time at the theater spent on trailers. Yechh.
