Rate em' ...Super Bowl 2009 movie trailers.

Saw so far:

1. "Duplicity" (Julia Roberts, Clive Owen) ...very derivative

2. "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (Dennis Quaid) ...looked way to CGI for my tastes

3. "Angels and Demons" (Tom Hanks) ...didn't like the first, this looks similar, just not my genre

4. "Land of the Lost" (Will Ferrell) ...i like Will alot, don't like most fake dinosaur movies, but could be another "Step Brothers" surprise for me

5. "Fast and Furious" (Vin Diesel, Paul Walker) ...looks slick and virtually identical to all others in series

6. "Year One" (Jack Black, Michael Cera) ...Month Python anyone?

7. "Star Trek" (Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg) ...made it a gritty, realistic, frenetic, i loved the original movies, so i am def on board

8. "Up" (Pixar Animation) ...can they ever go wrong? looks fun and funny

9. "Monster vs. Aliens" (Dreamworks Animation) ...i probably won't see this, but as a trailer in 3-D, that actually worked and HD it was really cool!

10. "Race to Witch Mountain" (The Rock) ...looks good for the kiddies

11. "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen" (Shia LeBouf, Meagan Fox) ...same frenetic, over-the-topness of 1st, wasn't wowed in theaters by 1st, but liked better at home, probably give this a chance

Re: Rate em' ...Super Bowl 2009 movie trailers.

That was the first G.I. Joe ad I've seen and was unimpressed. Probably 2 stars.

But I've seen a ton of ads for Duplicity and already thought it looked great, so it's unfair to rate that ad. But I liked it as well, probably 3 stars.

Angels and Demons looks pretty good, but awfully similar to Da Vinci Code, 2.5 stars or so.

Same. I like Clive Owen, but Duplicity just doesn't look good.

Angels & Demons - I'll be seeing that. Hopefully it won't disappoint too much.

#$%!, the G.I. Joe trailer aired already? It's only 12 minutes into the game?!

Screw it, I just youtubed the G.I. Joe and Transformers 2 Superbowl spots. They looked decent, I'm sure I'll see them. Save myself the hard drive space of recording the whole game, as I don't even think the Canadian feed is going to show these trailers ...

Only positive about Angels and Demons is that they fixed that guy's hair.

"DUplicity" (D-) (Good cast but this movie looks ALMOST as boring as Michael Clayton.)
"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (B) (Kinda cool but a lot of jumpin around. Tone it down a bit Summers!)
"Angels and Demons" (C) (Well it can't be as bad as the first can it? The cast isnt as impressive this time though.)
"Year One" (F) (Not funny.)
"Transformers 2" (C-) (Dont really understand the love for these big robots from outer space. Seems really silly to me.)
"Land of the Lost" (C-) (Maybe a DVD rental.)
"Star Trek" (C-) (Meh.)
"Fast and Furious" (C+) (Looks pretty much EXACTLY like the first movie.)

Re: Rate em' ...Super Bowl 2009 movie trailers.

They already aired the G.I. Joe trailer? Or did everyone see it via download?

Duplicity looks dumb to me.

Angels & Demons looks ok, but I actually liked Da Vinci.

GI Joe looks bad ass.

Year One looks funny

Year One looks terrible. Generally they pick the best jokes for these trailers, and these gags were not funny.

Already aired, it might have been the first one after kickoff.

Cera isn't that funny to me. I saw a trailer earlier on youtube for this with David Cross and it was pretty funny, so I may see it for him.

Agreed, Cera is just going to be awkward teen in olden times instead of awkward teen in present day. Dig the rest of the cast, especially Cross and Rudd.

Typical DirecTV de Puerto Rico. Pre-empting the best commercials for a shitty First Bank ad.

Fast and Furious is ok, nothing I haven't already seen in other trailers.

Fast & Furious. I'm a sucker for this one, loved the original. With the cast returning, I'll be sure and catch it.

Land of the Lost was just meh to me, but I'm too young to have seen the original show.

Land of the Lost looks just like Journey to the Center of the Earth, cheesy CGI and all.

"Duplicity" - looks above average. I've seen a better trailer in the theater.
"G.I. Joe" - looks pretty damn good to me.
"Year One" - awful
"Land of the Lost" - ditto
"Angels and Demons" - looks great
"Fast and Furious" - rental
"Star Trek" - oh hell to the yes

Not impressed with it at all.

Star Trek - not the best trailer we've seen, but I'm still excited.

Star Trek looks like a lot of fun.
