New trailer for Black Mass

Looks good, hell of a cast, but I still think Depp's makeup would look a million times better without those awful contacts.

:mediocre:

You take 25 seconds to start the trailer, use bad shots throughout, use a very low key loving voice over for an intense movie, and finally completely lost my interest around 50 seconds because nothing's going on. I don't know if it got better after the minute mark, but the fact that I don't care is proof that you failed.

edit: look at how much ground the original trailer covers in the time it takes you to start the voice over.

Not gonna lie, extreme sports have grown a lot in 30 years and I am entirely down to see that in theaters. Then again, I have a thing for wingsuits.

To be honest, the original has aged really poorly, and there's potential for pushing the modern era of extreme sports action. The leads seem really humourless and dull in this though, and the color grading makes it look like a DTV movie shot in Bulgaria.

Edit: It's also extremely distracting that they have the guy in Keanu's role wearing a Patrick Swayze haircut

For a movie that is supposed to be about XTREME SPORTS CRIMINALS that was a very dull and un-thrilling trailer.

The gently caress it has! I just watched it the other day and despite having a penchant for being really averse to how movies age, I was actually surprised it aged so well.

That backyard chase scene is actually super well done compared to modern-cut action movies.

The cinematography looks nice-ish, but the blank slates that they have droning out the dialogue couldn't be less interesting unless they were actual cardboard cut-outs.

The original film isn't any earth shattering masterpiece but that thing was dull looking.

Ehhh. It's an ok action movie with 1 or 2 decent set-pieces. Kathryn Bigelow was obsessed with POV shots back then (see Strange Days), which are distracting and can't help but remind you of 90s FMV games.

The foot-chase and the sky-diving sequences are really good, and Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey are great. Keanu is terrible in it, and the "cool" surfer culture is laughable and lame.
Even in the realm of early 90s action movies it's pretty forgettable, not even remotely in the same league as a Total Recall or Terminator 2 or Last Boyscout.

Judging from the trailer, the extreeeme sports angle seems really shoehorned. In the original point break, they were mostly adrenaline junkies who also did robberies in their spare time. Here it seems like they are doing extreme sports while robbing things which just seems so much more forced.

Also, the trailer music is some uninspired bulllshit. BWWOOOOOM BWWOOOOM

Ughhhh not even Jack Reacher was interesting in Jack Reacher. In fact, that movie made Werner Herzog lovely and uninteresting, and that's a goddamn feat! Robert Duvall was the only good part of that film.

^You mean this new Point Break has the new Johnny actually doing the gun thing on a beach? Did they not want marketing to give away that epic scene?

Well at least it's not a straight remake. Interesting choice making the antagonists the good guys.

Hell of a Heath Ledger lookalike though.
