We had half an hour of commercials (!) and movie trailers and commercials again before the movie started. Ugh.<\/p>\n

Doctor Doolittle<\/strong><\/em>: 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.<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman 1984<\/strong><\/em>: 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.<\/p>\n

Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar<\/strong>: <\/em>Gods, no.<\/p>\n

Free Guy<\/strong><\/em>: This looks potentially cute and\/or a lot of fun. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Top Gun: Maverick<\/strong><\/em>: 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.<\/p>\n

Tenet<\/strong><\/em>: Or,\u00a0Inception 2: Time Rewind Boogaloo.<\/em> It looked kind of interesting, but I’ll probably wait to stream it.<\/p>\n

Onward<\/strong><\/em>: 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.<\/p>\n

Black Widow<\/strong><\/em>: Same trailer that’s been around some weeks, albeit at movie theater screen size. I’ll be seeing it.<\/p>\n

Mulan<\/strong><\/em>: I’m very equivocal on this one. Waiting to get more feedback.<\/p>\n
