Opens with a monolougue that is in no way
pitched specifically to pull in fans of Twilight. I mean it’s only pretty much
exactly the same in tone, volume and overall delivery.
Just when we thought the brooding “I’m
dangerous” male protagonist, with stupid indie-sticky-up-hair was finally gone,
this film jumps out to grab more money out of the special way he sweeps women
off their feet, with what would be considered a controlling and borderline
abusive personality; cuz women love that.
Little further on we discover that Harry
Osbourne is in the film and good news everyone; he’s got emo hair, which means
not only is there now an obligation for those in the early stages of puberty to
go see this, now they have to like it too. Oh my god, this film is so subtle in the way
it’s trying to pull in younger viewers!
We then meet electro who tells us two
things; 1) that Jamie Foxx is really keen to destroy his career and 2) that
this villain would appear to have the same motivation as the Lizard guy from
the first one. Namely, no motivation to do evil whatsoever; he’s evil because
the plot requires it.
Overall thoughts:
This does not look good; this trailer
gives off the impression of a film made by a group of men over the age 50,
attempting to cram in anything that “appeals to the youngster audience”.
However the broodiness of Twilight doesn’t even work in Twilight, so I fail to
see how it can possibly sit comfortably along-side the campness required for a
spiderman film.
