Review: (#1) If you are already familiar with this series of films, then this design will also be familiar, but less exciting than the series’ past designs.

(#2-#8) This series of character posters lacks creative energy. While all have their unique elements, none of them stand out particularly well.

(#9) Lots of explosions, that means it’s good, right? Not quite and the design isn’t even that interesting aside from the explosions.

Trailer Rating: B- / C+

Review: (#1) If you weren’t familiar with the first two films in the series, this trailer might be modestly engaging. If you are familiar with those two other films, it could be quite exciting.

(#2) This doesn’t look too much different from the prior trailer, except that we get more personal background for Gerard Butler’s character. That doesn’t quite sell the film to an audience who will be more interested in the violence than the plot.
