Previous Preview: Megamind Rating:B Commentary: The first trailers could be considered nothing short of misleading. This new trailer gives far too much of the plot away, but it turns out villainy is about to become heroism.
Rating:C- Commentary: As this is merely a continuation of the posters I reviewed yesterday, I have nothing more to add.

Rating:C+ Commentary: Relying heavily on an outdated gimmick to sell a movie employing outdated gimmicks and you have a dismal trailer that isn’t about to entice anyone of any real merit into the theater.

LET ME IN, posters #3 & #4
Plot Summary: A remake of the acclaimed Swedish horror film Let the Right One In about a strange child who drinks the blood of the living. Release Date:October 1, 2010
Rating:C Commentary: Today’s two posters are merely re-designs of the posters revealed previously. This first one fails to live up to the merits of the original and simply goes a bit overboard. Rating:D+ Commentary: The second poster also fails to live up to its forebear, adding too much brightness to a poster that was full of rich contrast.
