Review: (#1, B+) Plenty of little details that make it feel something like a Star Wars film but it digs into the opposite effect than one would typically expect. It leans heavily into the corny 1940s aesthetic that characterized Werewolf by Night as well, making this feel like a pastiche to the wrong era. Still, the myriad fans of the streaming series are likely to be compelled.

(#2-#3, C) Not much different between these posters except the second is action oriented but neither are visually exciting or do they create motion.

Trailer Rating: C+ / B-

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C+) For those who’ve seen the series, this trailer is superfluous. They’ll already likely know it exists and want to check it out regardless of content. Beyond that, its appeal to unfamiliar audiences will be limited. The action is a bit cheesy, a bit cheap, and fails to excite in a measurable way. Some of the graphics are disjointed and choppy and that’s not going to entice any but the faithful.

(#2, B-) Although it eschews the familiar strains of the John Williams theme, it presents a lot of action and background details that will remind viewers of the Star Wars franchise and build their interest that way. However, there’s not much here to draw in non-fans or people unfamiliar with the show it’s adapted from.
