Review: (#1, C-) It really looks like the studio just took the video game’s titling and slapped it on a plain black background with a few extra words to stoke excitement. Talk about cheap. (#2, B-) This has a little more visual pizazz than the first design, giving the audience a look at some of the characters from the film but it looks surprisingly static for all the action that’s going on with it. The colors are a bit too bright in places, which enables the blue hues of the design to overwhelm.

(#3, C+) There must be something to this design that would tell the viewer this is a film to get excited about. Perhaps it’s a callback to something in the game itself but I cannot see how this one will get anyone talking. (#4, C+) This will speak more to fans of the game than the prior design with its tip of the cap to the various planets and by including popular Yoshi. Still an underwhelming effort with minimal details.

Review: (#1, C+) Unless you’ve seen the first film, this entire trailer doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. There are some cool and exciting moments but ultimately it feels like it’s only concerned about drawing existing fans to the theater. It doesn’t quite work as an advertising tool since those folks would likely already have been in attendance.

(#2, C+) The plot is nowhere to be seen. The audience is treated to a series of less-than-hilarious scenes that are meant to generate humor and excitement but feel like half-hearted efforts to get the first film’s fans into seats.

(#3, C+) Speeding through the shots without any of the premise make for a rather boring trailer design.
