Quick thoughts about the movies that ran ads during Super Bowl 43, based entirely on the content of the commercials that aired during the game:
Angels and Demons – Looks okay, if you like plodding, overblown drama.
Fast and the Furious – Why anyone would be interested in any of the movies in this series is beyond me.
GI Joe – Horrid.
Land of the Lost – Looks fun. Not for the ages, but fun.
Monsters v. Aliens – Completely derivative story. Should be competent and workmanlike, but that’s it.
Star Trek – Looks mixed… I see aspects I like, but I’m afraid they’re throwing in too much Big Action Movie.
Transformers – No, no, a thousand times, no.
Up – Has potential.
Year One – I love me some Jack Black, but this looks stupid.
Witch Mountain – This looks surprisingly good, for what it is.
So, can you judge a book by it’s cover? Once these come out it’ll be interesting to see what the final results are, but for now… it looks like a bleak year at the movies, based on these choices.
