The Avengers is a 2012 super hero film from Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures doing its distribution. The much awaited super hero dream film slated for a May 2012 release features an ensemble cast of Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. A 60-min extended first trailer for The Avengers was recently released in Super Bowl and here is what we think of it.

The Avengers Super Bowl Spot Film Trailer Review

Besides being the home for the annual National Football League championships, the Super Bowl is also the prefect venue to market any kind of product. This is where The Avengers made its 30-minute TV Spot debut and was later extended to a full 60 minutes film trailer with the inclusion of a very kick ass trailer finale. Right from the start I will say that The Avengers trailer is freaking awesome.

We finally know what Loki's role in the Avengers film as a leader of an invading alien force. No its not the Skrulls like what I also first assumed back at Captain America. The trailer feature a quick shot of the descending alien forces that Loki might probably lead which looks like Ultron-like robots but there aren't any official confirmation for this. Guess we'll just have to wait for the official full trailer or a much more detailed press release, or we can always just go crazy with waiting and watch it when the film actually hits the theaters.

I noticed some shots of Iron Man and I think the film would feature a new suit, the one shown when he fly up to the alien ship. Then we have Chris Hemsworth's (Thor) toned down body which doesn't look as good as when he was in the Thor movie. I personally am not a big fan of Captain America's new suit though, but guess it is just a little nitpicking on the much awaited super hero film of 2012. We finally have some more action shots of Black Widow and Hawkeye which is okay. I just hope that the film would feature a little more character build up and screen time for Hawkeye and Black Widow. We already have movies movies about most of the Avengers except for the two, (three if you count Nick Fury). I know Hawkeye is not the most popular Avenger, but he is still an integral member of the super hero team. For someone who doesn't know much or read any of Hawkeye's story (comics), I guess a future film about him would be my fix. What is not there to say about The Avengers trailer. It is action packed, kick-ass moments and seemingly superb character interactions.

The Expendables 2 Film Trailer Review

There are some movies that are meant to be left alone, untouched for any sequels, remakes or reboots. Once Hollywood don't take such heed, well let us just say that both fans and critics would bash it like a pinata with its content all over the place. But then there are some films that are just asking to be continued and Expendables is one of them.



Where do action film superstars go when they have lived their golden days? Well, besides their multibillion retirement life or a life of charity, some actually decided to actually cast them into one mega movie which Lionsgate did in the first The Expendables action movie back in 2010. With such successful sales and reception, it is expected for the studios to make a sequel and that is what they did with The Expendables 2. What can be said about the ultimate action star collaboration sequel? It is just that! Setting aside my usual critical taste when reviewing trailers and films, The Expendables 2 movie trailer just show one actual scene which doesn't tell or preview much about the plot (which is both a good and bad thing when I usually review trailers) then it's all just faces of past and present action movie superstars flashing afterwards. Why would not the trailer do that? It is not the complex storyline or the acting that would make movie goers flock the theater to watch this, but the actual idea of putting all of these once were and probably still are popular action film into one good solid two and more hours of mindless action fun. If you grew up watching action movies starring any actors in this film, then this is a no brainer and you'll eventually watch it... in any format you like.
