Apparently the baby of the cartoonist (Jaime Kennedy) gets the mask. Making the baby, not really the son of the mask.

I'll wait for this to come out on DVD to rent for 7 days.

I was forced to sit throught this trailer during "The Incredibles" on Friday. Fortunately, neither of my kids showed interest and I wasn't about to encourage any. Hard to believe some people get paid to sit in rooms write 'screenplays' such as this.

Well I loved the first Mask with Carrey and Diaz. More adult oriented with some comedy.

If anybody is familiar with The Mask, or Masque, which debuted in Dark Horse Presents comics (and later called Meyham and then The Mask Returns) these are very adult oriented comics (example with violence, killing ect). Think original comic book TMNT vs 1990's cartoon TMNT, the TMNT were more voilent and bloody in the comics.

This new trailer looks like crap.

They had me at "bad" when I saw the teaser trailer about a year ago.

I... I... just can't believe how bad this movie looks... I need a hug. ugh...

You know, at some point (most likely DVD), I'll watch this - only because it had Traylor Howard.

Best part of the trailer was Ben Stein's "oww"... This one's gonna be rough.

this looks horrible...I mean, much worse than expected.

Woah...Jamie Kennedy! I'm seeing this!

Whats with the 2 masks? Well, I guess we will never know.

I've seen the trailer for this movie a couple times in the last week or so.

And like most of you...I'd agree...this movie looks reallllly bad.

The trailer looks so..so..freakin' horrendous. Of course my 9 year old son thinks it looks funny so I will probably end up seeing it eventually. But he is outgrowing these horrible "family films", he didn't like Good Boy all that much when I rented it for him - a sigh of hope.

So did they have anything in that trailer that WASNT computer generated? Anything at all?

Jesus, what a piece of shit. I'm staying as far away as humanly possible.

Well, I don't recall it being for 'adults' - it may have had plenty of potty humor, but it seems to have been more for teenagers and tweenagers and drunk college kids than 'adults'. Quite childish actually. This one is more for kids and parents who like cg babies.

They played this trailer in front of National Treasure a few nights ago and the audience was pretty quiet with a little faint groanings and mumblings here and there - as if they were stunned by how much they didn't want to see it - I quickly cut the tension by yelling out "Holy crap that looks AWESOME!" The people laughed... you had to be there. :/

This is just how desperate movie companies are getting just to make a buck. well their not getting mine for this one. It looks awful.

:lol:

Yeah this looks terrible. Just because its "made for kids" doesn't mean it has to be downright awful. That's a terrible excuse, unfortuantely one that seemingly gets made a lot. Of course, somebody thought Baby Geniuses 2 was a good idea, so it isn't too shocking to see crap like this coming out.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's 'downright awful' (setting aside the fact that you haven't seen the film yet)... by saying it's 'made for kids' that means it's not a film for you, so of course you wouldn't be interested in seeing it and it wouldn't look like a good movie to you. It's like the Pokemon movies or that Good Boy movie where the dogs talk. I too miss the days when family movies could be enjoyed by the family, but these days there's a discrepancy and if a filmmaker wants adults to go see his films, he has to put swears and explosions and blood in it so we rarely get family films (like National Treasure, Goonies, Field of Dreams, or the original Star Wars films) and movies now have to cater to the LCD.

I think it may have something to do with how filmmakers in the 80s grew up on Disney and wholesome movies and tv and knew how to make entertaining family films while filmmakers today grew up on Nickelodeon (you can't do that on television, double dare, gross-out slime humor) and Garbage Pail Kids and know how to make films that will appeal to kids today who seem to like this kind of crap. It's not my cup of tea either and I realize that people here liked the first film and were hoping they would either avoid making a sequel or at least make one they could like just as much. Sure, it looks terrible to you and me - but there's probably plenty of kids out there who want to see a crazy looking dog and some CG baby bouncing off the walls. That's who the films were made for. I don't see much point in griping about a film's suckiness when it's a) not out yet and b) not made for you. But you can feel free to gripe about whatever you want... it's a free country and forum. ;) I'll put this one under the same category I put the new Star Wars films... they aren't made for me and I'm upset about that, but I'm not gonna dwell on it I guess. *shrug*

Another vote for....wow.

Beat me to this comment....

At first I thought it was a sequel to that movie with Eric Stoltz as the deformed kid.

;)

Well who's dwelling? Everyone is just coming here and making their opinion. And quite frankly, The Mask 2 could've at least been another fun romp in the vein of the original. instead it's a dumbed down movie aimed at 5 year olds, and we all think it's terrible. No reason not to express that opinion that I can come up with. It's a movie message board...and the movie looks terrible. There's always someone who ends up liking a particularly movie, but this could've and should've been something else. I think New Line made a horrible decision (right in line with Dumb and Dumberer) and I've got no issues saying it looks dowright awful.

Anyway, so I thought that Traylor Howard and Jamie Kennedy were supposed to be the same characters as Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey and they had a baby, hence son of Mask. Also the dog looks the same. I believe his name was Otis in the trailer, wasn't Jim Carrey's dog Milo? Ha ha ha, Milo and Otis.

"From the director of Cats and Dogs..."

Like that is going to convince me :lol:

This looks more like Dr. Suess's The Dog In The Mask.
