The trailer for The Kid Who Would Be King played before Spider-Verse and was atrocious. I can't believe Joe Cornish is the director. Hopefully the trailer doesn't do the movie justice, but I was not buying the kid in the lead role at all.

All the trailers before Into the Spider-Verse were terrible. IMO, Kid Who Would Be King was actually the best of a very sorry lot.

A new Captain Marvel trailer

5 seconds into this one, it briefly takes on the tone of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I hope the film moves further in this direction.

I like the part where she punches the old lady and wish it was all about Brie Larson punching old people. It would be the first threat of global destruction in the Marvel series that I believe.

Reserved a CM ticket today through the AMC A List, but might give it up since it's Friday night and not Thursday, which was already basically sold out. I hate recliner seats. Could also potentially hit the fake IMAX for it vs the Prime theater. Or, likely, just go to the OG theater on Thursday night.

I kind of wish that dog movie didn't look terrible. Dog Days was definitely way better than I thought it would be; however, this one just doesn't look good and pretty much gives you the whole thing in the trailer.

I wonder if they were locked into making this film as part of a series. I can't imagine they'd greenlight this one story because of the inherent problem pointed out by the marketing. It's about a boy and his dog who love each other deeply and then are separated. If you don't give away the ending, people will stay away because they have to be sure the dog finds its way home. By knowing that he does, there's now no reason to see the film except to... experience the anguish of boy and dog missing each other?

I though Shazam looked like dumb fun.

I didn't think Attack the Block had a great trailer either, so I'm not super worried about this one. Shazam looks like fun, too. DC seems to be leaning towards older (80s and 90s) kinds of comic movies, which appeals to me given the ubiquity of the overly realistic (for my taste) Marvel formula.
