We're back again loyal viewers, or more likely newly met stumblers. Either way you found our humble little trailer review blog operating under the name (or nomme in keeping with the french translation) Le Cinema Petit (or The Small Movie Theater for the english inclined), we welcome you to the newest installment (or Post if you want to be a dick about it). As you all know, we love our super hero movies here at the Petit Cinema. And today the mother of all superhero movie trailers was released. You know what it is and if you have seen it yet shame on you, but don't worry I won't tell anyone you haven't seen it. In fact I will distract them as you watch it right here.
Thousands of nerds around the world just had to seek a change for their now soiled under-roos. Okay so i'll throw my name in that hat too. But enough with the communal nerdgasming, lets review this sucker.
The trailer starts out with New York having some trouble with spontaneous combustions occurring in it's streets. Man on top of it's Insomnia the Big Apple never gets a break. There is always some giant Abram's monster, or Super Villain giving it a hard time. Loki has some how dramatically landed in or plan of existence and thinks we are meant to be ruled, but where we come from we don't like governments with a strong centralization of power, so there. But hey he isn't asking so we are aparently pretty much screwed.
Candidate for future ruler of the world
Well don't worry we're ready for this as you can tell by this cool looking facility we are doing a fly over of. Oh wait, so we're not ready for this? what about like the past 5 movies where you said we were getting ready for this? Okay, but now we're getting ready for this? Thanks for clearing that up for us Sam L, and on the walkie so we could all hear.
Honey! Where is my super-suit?
We get a few shots of our trustworthy band of super heros getting together narrated by Sam L telling us that Armies are sooo yesterday. That what we really need is just a hand full of remarkable(super) people (heros) and all those nukes we have be stockpiling don't amount to shit. A shot a Iron Man tearing ass though the New York skyline then segues us to the important question.
Was I in the way of some big question that was to be asked at the end of some kind of moving speech?
"What are you prepared to do?"
We see our heavy hitters arm up and suit up. If you are a marvel fan and those shots didn't get you excited, you might want to check your pulse. Still with us? okay so Tony's got some beef with Cap, and Thor looks worried. This highlights the growing pains of the Avengers as they will probably go from rag tag group to well oiled Super Butt Kicking machine by the end. Cap says some tough guy stuff, Tony gives a smarmy retort, and Thor chuckles.
I feel that this scene is very similar to the relationship between Chris Hemsworth and RDJ.
Then we reach the end of the trailer where we get the cavalcade of action shots ended with a solid oh snap! line form Robert Downy. Then raise the title sequence, and we're out. Oh wait there wasn't enough hulk in the trailer so they tacked on another little scene were RDJ makes a sarcastic remark to Mark Ruffalo. We get a little Hulk, well, Hulking out. Queue the release date, and and now its over. Wait... are you sure Marvel? You sure you don't have another little scene you want to tack on there? Just a little out of place something you want to shove in on the end there? No? Okay then and one of the most anticipated trailers of the year is done.
I am a big fan of what Marvel is doing here with the Avengers. I think it's just an amazing event in film. The crossovers and spinoffs have been happening in T.V. and film for awhile now, but this is a whole different game with several film franchises being wrapped into one in order to create a huge universe with its own mythos (well recreate). I think this is a very neat experiment, and who knows what it could lead to (hopefully not a Justice League movie). So what I'm trying to say is that I am really looking forward to this movie. That being said this trailer itself did nothing to increase my desire to see it. So it failed in regards of hyping me up for the movie (unlike the trailer for the first Iron Man did), but it was great in terms of fan service; giving us fanboys (and fangirls) a little something to look at until the movie arrives. It is a teaser after all and you could tell by the untactful addition of Hulk at the end of the trailer that it was trying to include fans of all the franchises that are involved in this monster of a film.
