Movie trailers

[avram]

Just saw the trailer for the upcoming I, Robot movie, and it looks terrible. I don’t just mean that the trailer depicts a movie that seems to miss the essence of Asimov’s stories, although that’s also true. (A better trailer in that respect would have spent a little more time emphasizing how important the Laws of Robotics are, and how dramatic it is that a robot seems to have killed someone.) It’s also just chock full of really stupid and unfunny character bits, attempts at comedy that just fall flat. The movie’s clearly not a comedy, so why do they have to spend so much time telling us (badly) that Will Smith’s character is a funny guy?

The trailer for Van Helsing makes it look like it might be stupid, but it’ll deliver serious supernatural-butt-kicking bang for your moviegoing buck.
