Review: (#1, C) Two scenes carefully blended in a hazy gray-green aesthetic that causes them all to blend together, this design simply feels dull and lifeless with the unnamed character squares at the top bringing the only sense of definition and color to the whole design. (#2, C) It’s always interesting to examine the different ways designers try to create originality and while all of them are based on existing designs, they usually try to find a way to make something new with them and this design is a failed attempt. Creating the vertical banner of a scene from the film and then breaking up the main characters from that frame in the lower half isn’t a bad choice but that awful solid-color background derails any attempt they might make to create something compellingly unique.

Trailer Rating: C / C+ / C+

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C) There has already been a terrific film focused on the Nuremberg trials and this looks like a significantly inferior version of Judgment at Nuremberg. The performances look tepid and the plotting haphazard with a trailer that makes this look like some cheap knock-off rather than a serious endeavor.

(#2, C+) Although this second trailer does a better job portraying the film as something of a message piece, it doesn’t alleviate the concerns the first film raised. Necessity and quality. It might have strong actors in it but the performances don’t look that compelling and that undermines the film’s attempt to find an audience.

(#3, C+) Once again trying to tie the film into a current conversations about fascism require a defter touch than this trailer accomplishes. There’s not much new in it from the prior outing and it doesn’t get at the heart of the film’s intent. Is it meant to convince those who aren’t familiar? Comfort those who are? That lack of goal makes the film seem like boring cinematic filler.
