Let’s talk about movie trailers! Sometimes trailers are the best part of going to the movies (okay, not the best, unless the movie you’re seeing ends up being REALLY bad — but they are pretty fun). I love to lean over to my husband and give a thumbs up or thumbs down to each trailer.
So, why not bring that to you guys? These are my first impressions to some recent movie trailers (some we’ve all seen, maybe some that are new, or some that I never even heard of until “researching” for this post). This is super informal. I’m not trying to analyze these, I will just give my pure, initial thoughts.
And I want you guys to do the same! Whether its for these trailers or some that I didn’t include. What are your thoughts on some recently released trailers? Are some just insanely stupid to you? Do some have you saying “TAKE MY MONEY”? Let me know 🙂
*PS: You kind of have to watch the trailer while reading my reactions because that’s how I structured it. They’re my thoughts throughout the trailer.
Bad Moms
- My girlfriend and my husband’s girlfriend is in this movie (Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell). So like, duh I’m watching this.
- Oh! Christina Applegate!
- Mom mid-life crisis. I dig it.
- Okay, okay, it looks a little funny. But I’ll probably wait for on demand.
- Most importantly: Mila Kunis is in it.
Sausage Party
- Just, wtf, the title.
- Omg, way to make me feel guilty for eating my food.
- Now all the children are going to think food has feelings, or wakes up in the middle of the night and tortures them
- WHAT. THE. FUCK.
- DAYUM girl, hips don’t lie
Assassin’s Creed
- Video game + Michael Fassbender = YES.
- I don’t know if I like that weird contraption they made the Animus into.
- This song, though, it’s an interesting choice
- It actually looks like they did a really good job at the climbing/jumping like in the video game.
- He better land in a haystack, though
Anthropoid
- Hey, it’s Christian Gray
- And Peaky Blinders guy
- Ohhhh, a WW2/Nazi story. I can get into this
- Hey! Is this secretly a Captain America movie?
- Sounds like they’re saying Hydra. Just sayin’
- Ok, ok, I know they’re not. I just thought it was funny.
- I like it.
31
- All I saw was Horror in the title so I clicked it
- Hmm…weird cult thing?
- Rob Zombie?
- I KNEW IT WAS ROB ZOMBIE
- Oh, this one is going to be weird as fuck
- And gory
- Buuuuut, I don’t know. Might pass on this one. Seems like a Hunger Games + Saw + Purge kind of deal
Equals
- Dude, Bella. Where have you been
- Oh, has a The Island vibe to it
- If you haven’t seen that movie, go watch it
- Like, literally, it’s The Island
Ghostbusters
- Because there is so much controversy. But, I’m going to be honest, while I have seen the original movie it was a long ass time ago and I remember absolutely nothing from it. So maybe I won’t think this trailer is terrible?
- Ok, the ghosts look a little cheesy. Is that on purpose?
- I really didn’t have many reactions during that. I was a little distracted by how meh all the ghosts were — visual effects wise. If that’s on purpose, alright cool. If not, then I can see why people (the ones complaining about the visuals) aren’t into it.
- Otherwise, I don’t see what the big fuss was about
Beauty and the Beast
- Of course, I was going to do this one. Gosh, guys, who do you think I am?
- I love the visuals. So pretty!
- Oh, Emma, your sweet voice
- Wait, is this like a “modern” Beauty and the Beast? She had a trendy pinky ring on. I’m probably wrong. Don’t listen to me
- BUT GIVE ME MORE
- OKAY DUH I’M SEEING THIS
Rogue One
- Also, of course, I’m going to do this trailer too
- Also, also, Darth Vader is confirmed to be in this movie!
- YAAA. Ninja
- Gosh, they’re making this look/sound so epic
Okay, I think that’s quite a few xD What did you guys think? Any trailers here that got you wanting to see the movie? Any different reactions than mine?
Also, I actually had fun writing this post because I got to watch some trailers I would have probably never watched! So, if you like this kind of thing, let me know! Maybe I’ll turn it into a mini-feature 🙂

i’m just so excited to see Beauty and The Beast! mainly because it has Emma Watson (duh) and i love the Disney movie sooo of course i’m gonna watch it as soon as it comes out!
great post!

haha same! I actually am not a huge fan of Beauty and The Beast, but I’m totally going to see that one !
Cillian Murphy is just popping up all over the place on book blogs today! (Ok, it was only two blogs including yours, but that’s a lot relatively speaking lol.)
Anyway… I actually don’t go to movie theaters. Or rent movies really. I’m kind of just not interested in most movies, and I wait for the rest to come on TV (“the rest” usually being Disney movies lol). I still haven’t even seen the Cinderella real people movie yet, but I do want to see the Beauty and the Beast one.
But oh my goodness that food one was horrifying! You should see my face while watching it! I’m disturbed! But I don’t think you’ll have to worry about kids being scarred since no kids should be watching that. And if any do, they probably will have nightmares. Seriously though, the food has to have boobs? Nothing can ever be female without being sexualized? -_-
TBH, I didn’t know who you were talking about so I had to google it lol The Peaky Blinders guy! ALSO, I KNEW he looked familiar — he’s in 28 Days Later! That was favorite zombie movie for so long lol
I still haven’t seen the live-action Cinderella either xD
Yeah, I hope kids don’t see it. But just imagine if they did. Without all the crude humor hahah they’d be traumatized.
That’s the only zombie movie I’ve ever seen, and I only watched it because he was in it, haha. And it’s really funny because I actually have never liked horror movies, I get scared too easily by them, but I had to wait for that to come on in the middle of the night so that I could watch it while my parents were sleeping because it was rated R and they were strict and I was too young. So I ended up watching a horror movie alone, in the dark, in the middle of the night lol.
hahaha I grew up watching TONS of horror movies. It’s my moms favorite genre. but I could imagine watching it by yourself at night and being really freaked out lol
i’m so excited for assassin’s creed bc i’ve been seeing that game for years, and it’s michael fassbender xD and beauty and the beast! we only get 0.2 seconds of emma’s nose but whatever! i’m curious how she would play bella! and bad moms looks so funny! it might end up bad, but whatever. it’s like hangover but with moms. and also rouge one. it’s star wars, and i think that’s enough reason xD
Do you play the games at all?? Also, right?! We don’t get much for Beauty and the Beast hahah I think Bad Moms will end up being super corny & bad, but I’ll still watch it lol
sadly i don’t, but my guy-friends play it a lot and i kind of like watching them while they’re playing 😀
ah, you definitely should play it ! It’s not super hard and lots of fun 🙂 Also, its a super pretty game.
Okay Bad Moms looks awesome. And assassin’s Creed- I don’t know. That one’s iffy for me. Most of these I don’t know! I’m looking forward to Suicide Squad… and yeah Rogue One looks pretty epic. It looks more like Star Wars to me than Force Awakens???
I’ll see Assassin’s Creed for sure. The only thing that seems weird to me is the animus. But we’ll see.
Sausage party’s an adult animation, so I’m hoping the kids won’t be going to that one lol. Have you seen the Moana trailer?
hahah I know xD Just, could you imagine? Take out all the crude humor and it would still be terrifying lol & no, I haven’t. Does it look good? I wasn’t super interested in that one.
The animation’s really great, however the trailer isn’t of any particular note, but the animation freak in me has to say that the facial expressions on the characters look a lot more lively then any CGI animated movie by Disney yet.
I’ll have to watch it!
I feel exactly the same about Bad Mom’s as you do, it’s like okay it looks funny but it is not big screen worthy to me. Plus I have the hardest time being okay with Mila Kunis playing a mom to kids that age!
I’m totally not sure about Assassin’s Creed yet, it looks great but I am worried that they will somehow have royally messed it up, because it kinda seems like hollywood likes to do that.
Okay, I’m like super glad you included Equals because I knew nothing about it but it looks very interesting to me.
I think the biggest fuss about Ghostbusters over then the visuals effects are just that people are upset over the fact that hollywood decided to not only remake it but decided to change it to a female cast. It actually is annoying how many people I have seen mad about this remake purely based on the fact that the cast is female. I mean seriously of all the things to be mad about in this world they choose that?
I’m in love with the Beauty and the Beast trailer, I am already hardcore fangirling over this movie and the trailer shows you pretty much nothing too revealing which I enjoy!
Rogue One looks interesting to me though I feel like they are teasing us! They are like here is so side universe stuff to toy you along until we are ready for the next trilogy movie. That being said I still will probably go see it because it looks damn good!
hahah yeah, Bad Moms doesn’t look AMAZING, but decent. Also, I didn’t even think of that (about Mila Kunis) now I won’t be able to unsee that lol
Yeah, it is a little nervewracking because they mess up book adaptations a lot. But, I’m crossing my fingers!
Hmmm, I just didnt like the effects for the trailer. IDC if it’s a female cast, although it is a LITTLE annoying because it feels like a bit of a political agenda/stunt. I don’t really know how to explain that lol
Beauty and the Beast and Rogue One are just HUGE teases hahaha
“He better land in a haystack, though.”
You love it.
oh gosh, Sausage Party… yes, my exact reaction was also “wtf” and “WHY DO I NOW FEEL GUILTY?!!” but I will still go and watch it.
I’m totally digging the Assassin’s Creed movie. I’m such a sucker for great graphics and fight scenes (like Ninja Assassin – *SWOON*)
At the beginning of Anthropoid it looks like they’re looking up at Hogwarts. I’ve never heard of this movie… but I can get behind it. I like it. A lot.
Another Rob Zombie movie? I don’t think I like looks of that one.. There was a movie that I thought Rob Zombie directed (but maybe they just played a lot of Rob Zombie music) and it was really good.. I wish I remembered the name of it! D:
Equals looks like The Giver.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR GHOSTBUSTERS AND BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! ♥♥
hahahah it looks ridiculous and I’m not even a huge James Franco/Seth Rogan fan but I think I want to see it xD
Anthropoid looks pretty good actually. Although, I just thought HAIL HYDRA through the whole thing lol
Rob Zombie usually makes really gory weird horror movies. They’re….interesting lol
AND YES BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!
