dude, trailers? you ever go see a comedy 'cause the trailer was so great, and then realize that the movie only has 3 good jokes and they were all in the trailer?

ALSO: this guy. the voice. "thunder throat." the one in all of the trailers. video is a few minutes long, totally worth watching.

I gotcha but what you may get from a trailer and what I get from one is probably different.

I don't go to the theater often anymore and now that it's Spring time I see 3 movies at the drive-in for 9 bucks and I can sleep through the shit ones (sometimes there's one I won't care for)

For me to go see a movie at a regular theater it usually has to seem REEEALLY good by the preview or is something I already wanted to see.

Example: Star Wars Episode III, Sin City, Batman,..etc

EVERYONE knows trailers can fool you...

....but so can stuffy bitch ass critics. Most of them suck. :dry:

yeah point taken. some people just don't like reading reviews, or think analyzing entertainment takes all the joy out of it. personally i think most reviewers aren't too good, but i do enjoy it when a reviewer knows how to write well and actually has good insightful comments to make.

i guess my problem with trailers (and why i don't find them very reliable) is not only that they can make bad movies look good or good movies look bad, but oftentimes they misrepresent what the movie is about. a trailer can make a movie look as if it's about one thing, when it's really about something completely different.

edit: having said that... of course professional reviewers aren't the be-all & end-all. i'm sure everyone has at least one favorite movie that's been widely trashed by both reviewers and fans.

One thing I hate about some trailers is that they give away too much of the movie.
I figure out alot from many trailers.

"Sin City" has been made with such scrupulous care and obvious love for its genre influences that it's a shame the movie is kind of a bore.
