The original trailer was fantastic, but then the second trailer tried to expose more of what the movie was actually about but did a horrible job of it. Either be mysterious or just tell us what it is. As it is, the second trailer was literally bad enough that it put me off a movie I originally found greatly intriguing. I'm in a period where I won't be seeing a lot of movies as it is, so for me it's a matter of not seeing it at all rather than how some people, as you suggest, simply base their opinion of the entire movie on a crappy trailer. Which even when they <i>see</i> the movie is what they end up doing, because other people dumped on it for no other reason than the trailer, and we really do base most of our opinions on what our peers are saying...Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-9612103211532504242015-05-30T21:40:46.334-07:002015-05-30T21:40:46.334-07:00Jo: If you like it half as much as I am, your doll...Jo: If you like it half as much as I am, your dollar will have been well spent.<br /><br />I hope you got a good translation.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-63555522307154984012015-05-30T18:46:04.673-07:002015-05-30T18:46:04.673-07:00Well if it comes my way, I will watch it and see i...Well if it comes my way, I will watch it and see if I agree with you or Alex. <br /><br />You just cost me a whole .99¢ today 'cos I bought the Kindle version of Don Quixote.
