His watchmen trailer is still one of my favorites: https://youtu.be/wdiHDzT6YbQ?si=CKcY4fqFnDLGuHzO Also loved his man of steel trailers https://youtu.be/KVu3gS7iJu4?si=sGqdM3kbNG1-FRyR https://youtu.be/wArmHSPIvlQ?si=3uFQPSIhM1oY_mTW permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago I like his movies, too. But compare Army of the Dead to the actual film, it’s not even close to as good. He can nail trailers and opening scenes, but they always seem to underwhelm by midway through. permalink fedilink source parent [–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago Was gonna say Batman vs Superman. Even the title is made for trailer hype. Can still remember the hypetrain at the line “tell me, do you bleed?” permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheAndrewBrown@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* Maybe a hot take but I’d say this is true about most Neil Blomkamp movies too permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tolstoshev@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago He got his start directing music videos, so it makes sense. permalink fedilink source parent
