Who is the audience? Every action-loving move-goer. The Midnight Showing will be cramped with excited high school students, maniacal comic fans, and the occasional reminiscent adult. Truly, this movie is made for everyone, and everyone enjoys a bit of the excitement through this trailer.
This clip grabs the viewer early on and never lets go. I was originally drawn in by the somber, nostalgic tone mismatched with what is usually the arrogant voice of Tony Stark. Mysterious foreshadowing of an unknown enemy then throws the viewer into several explosive scenes of action, fear, and dread.
The clip ends just in time to leave the viewer with no hope at all. It is at that point that I remembered that this is an American action movie and regardless of the depressing tone of the trailer, the movie will more or less end happily ever after. This clip is entirely satisfying, however, in that the viewer is still puzzled as to how Iron Man is going to make it out of this one alive.
This trailer invites the viewer in with foreboding dialogue, impresses with flashy action scenes, and mystifies through a secretive antagonist and an unsure outcome. All in all, this trailer has got it right!
Yep I got to say that I am excited for this movie. Especially with the new villain who has 10 rings of super powers! That seems impossible to beat so I wonder how Iron Man is going to do it. It definitely leaves me wondering.
ReplyDeleteI love the phrase, "this clip grabs the viewer early on and never lets go." That's exactly the feeling I got and that's an excellent way to describe it!
