(trailer review) - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

 

(Official Trailer)

I am going, to be honest with you like I always am, but this trailer did not move the needle much for me. A lot of new scenes and imagery, but the previous trailer for me was soo much better. This trailer on the other hand was a lot funnier and I am hoping, the comedy in this third and final movie from director James Gunn is evenly levelled out with the sad and emotional themes in this movie. As I said in my last trailer reaction, the second movie seemed like everyone had a joke. How I have come to understand the characters is, Drax provides most of the laughs, but it is usually him first and foremost, followed by Peter Quill and Rocket. Now that Nebula (my favourite character) is part of the team, she also provides a little humour too, but if everyone is providing jokes, the tone and strength of the film get significantly reduced.

This trailer shows, what looks like, The High Evolutionary and a few flashbacks involving Rocket Raccoon and his possible backstory, but this trailer also seems to provide us with a lot of fake-outs. Dave Bautista is done with Guardians, but although he says a few things in this trailer, it does not seem like he will die, but there are shots of Rocket Raccoon, Peter Quill and all this talk about one last fight or being together, it does seem like a few of our loveable characters will not make it out and this will be a film that will confiscate tears from us all. I love this team and while people will forget how plucky they are, they are the team that took out the Avengers.  I am going to watch this movie anyway, I just wished the trailer was better than the last one for me. Those Adam Warlock shots did not do much.

Directed by James Gunn and starring Dave Bautista, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Sean Gunn & Chukwudi Iwuji

(trailer review) - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

 

We have come a long way since the beginning of the MCU. The storytelling and craftsmanship of the MCU go without saying at this point. One could argue that phase 4 has not been great and not a lot seems to make sense. While I do not prescribe to that exactly, I do feel some of the "funnier" storylines or more accurately, the comedy/jokes they have put into these movies have not been good. Without picking apart the MCU, I will simply refer to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2. Although this was a great movie, everybody was given a joke. In the previous Guardians movie, it was simply just Drax who provided the audience with a laugh. In the second movie, it seemed like everyone had a joke and it kind of hampered the movie. This has been the case with a lot of MCU movies of late, so I am sure there is more than a handful of people who don't mind some silliness and jokes but not to be laughing all the time. I guess one argument is, they do this to balance out the heaviness of some of the themes, but...I don't know, some movies do it better than others. Thor: Ragnarok to Thor: Love and Thunder is an example of that.

The music in the trailer has me. The music in the Guardians movies has all been great so for this trailer, it is simply continuing a standard, but this music! It is possible that, due to learning that this will be the last movie with the current team lineup, the music just hits me differently as there are rumours that members of the team will die, like...die die. No coming back type of die. There will be stakes in this movie and the runners-up are Dave Batista as Drax the Destroyer and Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon. If done well, we will have some much-needed levity and humour, hopefully, provided by Drax and Mantis (I cannot be the only person who finds Mantis' background antics hilarious), but I do believe this movie will draw out the tears. We have spent some time with this loveable group and to see any of them actually die, I do believe will be heart-wrenching. That scream from Peter Quill in this trailer looks like real pain and loss. Deep breath guys. We can do this together.

(trailer review) - Peacemaker

(Official Teaser Trailer)

It is definitely safe to say, I WILL BE WATCHING THIS IMMEDIATELY! "A grenade blows up like, two people", "Eat peace mother-boom".  As bonkers as Peacemaker is and was in The Suicide Squad movie, this series seems to want to take him and his antics further, deeper and funnier!

This trailer is great.  I had tears welling up in my eyes from the he sheer hilarity of it all. There are soo many conversational pieces that are funny. Soo many visuals that are funny.  That shot of all of them slo-mo walking in true Superhero Comic Book and also Action Movie fashion WITH THE AMERICA BALD EAGLE, come on! It's ridiculous, but I love it! Even the Tighty-Whities shot diving out the window is ridiculously hilarious...like, who gets an angled shot like that? James Gunn!

Directed by James Gun an starring John Cena, Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma and Chukwudi Iwuji,

(trailer review) - Peacemaker

 

First of all, I'd like to say that, if James Gunn wasn't fired form Disney over tweets that were over 10 years old, we would not be having this trailer.  Think about it! James Gunn was fired from Disney having already written Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Warner Bros. and Detective Comics, snapped him up immediately.  They let him do any film he wanted and he chose the Suicide Squad franchise (such a bold choice).  If those chain of events never happened, we would never have gotten this wild trailer for a character named Peacemaker who was introduced in the latest  Suicide Squad movie which was very good.  Sit with that for a moment.  And if you need any help, watch The Suicide Squad and come back to me.

This trailer is bonkers! It is funny and if I'm honest, it carries the same level of humour and heart that the movie 'The Suicide Squad' carries and if you read my review, you know I really enjoyed tat movie.  At present, I'm not 100% sure where the movies stands, timeline-wise and if it is before or after the movie (I think after), but I love the introduction of Danielle Brooks from Orange is the New Black as she is a great actor but the only thing I'm not 100% sure on, regarding this show, even with the American Bald Eagle hugging him in the end, is the other character in blue called, Vigilante.  He was just giving me Deadpool vibes really and if i'm honest, I LOVED the Vigilante rendition in the TV Show Arrow.  But let's see how this one pans out!  It looks really good thus far. Also, the T-1000, ummm, yeh!
