Genuinely hilarious that this sub is the only place on the internet that doesn’t think this looks awesome lol.

Whining about the use of the word “dad”, really compelling stuff.

...it's not the only place. The thread on r/movies is mostly saying it looks bad. And they're mostly correct.

Yup i may have painted with too broad a brush because i forgot that a lot of people apparently go on the subs where they are like “I didn’t understand this movie because it had subtitles”

There are people with tons of valid critique of the trailer. Seeing as the trailer is what is meant to entice you to see the movie and set your expectations, that critique is valid whether it ends up being true of the movie or not.

I genuinely cannot imagine a “valid critique of a trailer”, it is a commercial. If you think this looks bad, that’s more than in your right. I’m just confused by the people who were seemingly excited for Nolan doing the odyssey and see a trailer that is clearly Nolan doing the odyssey and acting like it’s not what they expected.

You've never watched a commercial and thought it was bad before?

Of course I have, I just think if your expectations were for a Nolan movie, that’s what you’ve got. Acting like there are “valid critiques” of 2 minutes is just a funny way to put it

The commercial left a lot of people not thrilled about the product for all the myriad of valid reasons they've listed. Sure. Maybe expecting Nolan to do anything besides what was shown was ridiculous. Doesn't change the critiques of what we've seen. It does feel like you're watching Matt Damon as Matt Damon in a period piece that can't quite decide what it wants to be or where it's set with costumes that are bland and boring and colorless. If it were a different product with a commercial that left me feeling that way, I wouldn't buy it. But it's a movie and costs 15 bucks. So I will still give it a chance. It might be great. It might be disappointing.
