Trailers for Tuesday (Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Kong: Skull Island)

7/26/2016

Originally, I feared what this movie would be like because of some odd casting choices and the concept of such an obscure project.  Marvel has made some pretty great and unique superhero movies, but Doctor Strange is a weird comic to turn into a film.  The first trailer I saw only created a worse feeling in my stomach.  Replacing Strange's mentor with a Tilda Swinton character disappointed me.  I am not sure if this is rumor or fact, but I heard that a Tibetan was not chosen for the role because of the fear that China would be offended.  With the second trailer, Swinton is more fitting in the role than I previously thought.  I am still skeptical of the film as a whole, but it could also be as mind-bending as Inception so I look forward to its release.
For those of you who thought that the Harry Potter franchise died with Voldemort (is he dead???), you are sorely mistaken.  With so many possibilities, there was certainly going to be a spin-off series from the start.  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them looks like a really odd spin-off choice for the franchise, but it also looks spectacular.  Unlike Harry Potter, most of the actors in the trailer for the new film are already established actors.  Colin Farrell and Eddie Redmayne lead the new cast in the prequel film.  As a mediocre Harry Potter fan I am not exactly sure when the film takes place on the timeline, but the style shown in the trailer looks like a really cool period piece for the franchise.  Surely new waters will be tread and the old waters will reappear from the films that captured young adult audience's hearts and emotions.
Ah yes, another King Kong film...  It has been quite a while since the last one.  Kong: Skull Island markets itself as the biggest King Kong epic on the big screen.  The very first shot in the trailer gives us this scale of size.  After all, King Kong would be lame if he wasn't bigger than ever.  The cast of this blockbuster is going to be quite a mesh of new and old.  With Brie Larson, John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, okay I am out of breath now, and many more this truly will be a film of epic proportions.  Also, the colors in the trailer and that last scene are crazy.  Let's just hope its quality stands up to its quantity!
