'Punisher' Trailer...Quicktime!
Okay, after viewing this latest trailer for Marvel's next film, Planetarium feels very torn about whether or not it will be good. On one hand, we have a couple of cool-looking shots, paired with an actor who's always been pretty great in everything. And it's looking faithful, if you're a nerd and care- still got the ad space on his t-shirt apparently rented by Skeletor.
ON THE OTHER HAND, it has some rather large strikes against it. Travolta as the bad guy? That's usually movie-code for "Do Not See This". And the cliches: Butterfly knife? Check. Slow-mo jump-kick? Check. Detonating a car right behind him while calmly walking away? Check. Just once, we'd like to see the hero twitch after an explosion and say, "My Goodness, that was loud!" And the inevitable butt-rock soundtrack doesn't bode well, either. As of now, we give it a 50/50 chance to be either X-Men or......(shudder).....Daredevil.
