Review: (#1) Having all eight women on the poster design is a solid move and their staggered appearance is interesting. However, the poster is quite a bit dull in terms of color.

(#2) A deviation from the first design, this poster features all of the characters, but without the creative energy. (#3-#10) This series of character posters are interesting in that they each explain the purpose of the character’s involvement in the plot while being utterly bland with a blank white background adding nothing and a cheap numerical overlay. (#11) The background isn’t blank, but it’s not that interesting. The coloring of the vertical banners is interesting, setting the eighth figure (Anne Hathaway) apart from the rest as being the mark.

Trailer Rating: C- / B / B- / B

Review: (#1) This teaser is weak. It might give a brief snapshot of the stars, but it does nothing to stoke the audience’s interest in the film.

(#2) On the other hand, this formal trailer does terrific work highlighting the story and the stars and sets up a number of interesting jokes that seem sure to be but a tip of the iceberg.

(#3) This film continues to look engaging, this time with more glimpses of how things can and probably will go for the team, but that doesn’t make it look any less fun.

(#4) The more one sees of this film, the more interesting it looks. While there’s a lot of content from prior trailers, there are enough new scenes to make it still feel energetic and intriguing.
