What does it mean when the studio drops your trailer on the same day that the trailer for TDKR is taking over the conversation? I mean, the first film made plenty of cash, but the response felt and continues to feel poisonous (due in no small part to a disaster of a 3D conversion), and it’s hard to believe they’ll be able to pull off the same bait-and-switch again, even if Sam is convinced they’ve done something better (or at least more “weighty”). The trailer is… I dunno, whatever. It doesn’t look especially crappy as a CGI-fest following up another CGI-fest (there are worse offenses than putting giant monsters on a big screen) though the use of the Manson cover hurts my parts. Frankly, it already looks more textured and exciting than, say, John Carter but it’s entirely possible/likely this will be too stupid for even a glazed-over level of enjoyment.

Give it a look and let us know what you think…
