| I find that trailers are almost always a bad reflection on the movie. - Sometimes the trailer is great, and the movie sucks. - Sometimes the trailer sucks, and the movie is great. - Sometimes the trailer sucks, and the movie sucks for totally different reasons But very rarely do I see a trailer, and then watch the movie and think "oh yeah, the trailer captured that pretty well". The fact that the trailer looks bad (and it does!), tells me very little about what the movie will be like, except for highlighting which actors are in it, and triggering my personal responses to those actors (I'm personally not a fan of Melissa McCarthy). [edited to add, because I forgot] > Is this really about sexism? The fact that people don't like the trailer? No. The fact that so many people are going out of their way to rip into a movie they haven't seen, in ways that are more caustic than they would typically be for an unsatisfying reboot/sequel that hadn't switch the gender roles? Yes, I think that is based on sexism. |
