Reviewing The Previews: 5/21

     Here's this week's previews.  And by the way...



F- I will never see this movie under any circumstances
D- I will never pay theater price to see this movie but may watch it on Netflix
C- I might pay to see this if nothing else is playing, if not I'll catch it on DVD
B- I am not excited, but I'll probably try to catch it in the theater
A- I'm all in


Despicable Me 2 - D  7/3/2013
      There's really nothing new in Hollywood and this is further proof.  I have nothing against this movie.  I never saw the first one.  It might be fantastic and this one might be even better, but I have no compelling desire to see the sequel of a movie I never had any strong desire to see in the first place.  It looks like it may have some funny parts, so if I ever get around to watching the first, I might catch this one on Netflix, but I'm not seeing this in the theater.

World War Z - C  6/21/2013

     When I was reading this book I couldn't help but think of what it would look like as a movie.  So I got really excited when I heard it was coming to the theater.  But after seeing this trailer, that feeling has cooled a great deal.  It doesn't match up to my vision at all and looks like nothing more then a big budget extravaganza.  The book could have easily been brought to the big screen on a shoe string budget, which makes me feel that the film makers missed what made the book so great.

The East - B  5/31/2013
     This movie looks really good, but I fear it may miss the point that should be made.  This could be a great commentary about the hypocritical nature of eco-terrorism, but something tells me it may just glorify it.  It has a great cast, anything with Ellen Page I'm in on, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and keeping my fingers crossed that it lives up to what the trailer suggests it could be.

Man Of Steel - A  6/14/2013
     When I do these reviews, I try to base things soley on the  preview and not whatever bias I may have.  I want so bad to give this preview an F because I hate Superman and the last movie was so horrible, I want this movie to suck too.  But I know that I'm going to be there within the first couple weeks because I'm such a comic nerd, so F wouldn't be fit my description of grades.  And, on top of that, this preview was great!  I'll admit it, I'm hooked, this might be a great movie.  I've been waiting all my life for a properly done Superman movie, maybe this is it.
