Bone claws and explodey comets make for sweet theater trailers

I really need to go see a movie in theaters. It's been awhile since I've been, so I've had to rely on the internet to see the leaked theater trailers for Transformers 2 and X-men Origins. I also didn't want to post about the trailers w/out having a high quality video to put up though, (that and I've been studying for midterm after midterm) so now I have 2 to share. The first one is the new X-men Origins trailer and it shows some pretty intense images of Wolverine during the surgery. It also shows little Logan with bone claws coming out of his hands. To be honest, I didn't even know that he had bone claws at all. I just assumed it was an addition to the metal skeleton surgery. I had to look it up on Wikipedia and sure enough, it's true. As the movie progresses, you get to see quite a bit of Gambit and it looks like the pretty much unknown actor playing him is going to do a good job. You also get to see a snippet of Deadpool and way more of The Blob than anyone ever wanted to see.



The 2nd trailer is an extended version of the Transformers 2 trailer that played during the Superbowl. There's a longer intro in the beginning that shows all the explodey death comets that are the Transformers falling from space. You can also see a lot more transformers in this one, like Arcee when she's split up into 3 motorcycles. You also get to see Devastator going absolutely insane smashing up bridges and everything in sight. I mostly love the end of the trailer when the words "Revenge is coming" form out of the little metal shards and then the Decepticon symbol forms out of those same metal shards. It just looks really cool :D.

How did I not post about this X-men Origins trailer?!?

Uhm, anyway there's a trailer out in theaters for X-men Origins and the long version is pretty decent. I think I only saw the short version and I'm not sure when, but when I re-watched it I realized why I didn't post about it or even remember it happening. The longer trailer has Gambit in it which is pretty cool, as well as Deadpool, Sabertooth (bleh!), The Blob (lol), and lots of other X-men that I can't name right now (some because I just don't know, and others because they just stand there in the trailer like "dur").

Anyway, the trailer says the movie is coming out May 1st, but that's probably not happening because Fox tried to mess up another X-men movie by making edits that the director strongly disapproved of. When will they learn? So now they're claiming that they're doing re-shoots because of weather conditions. I think it's because of the Watchmen lawsuit though. Even though it's all settled and Fox isn't going to be a co-distributor of the movie, they're still getting a ton of money from the suit as well as up to 8.5% of the box office revenue. So if Fox is using this money to do the X-men Origins movie some good, then I'm all for it. I just hope that they're not making stupid changes in this movie, like say killing off all the main characters just for fun.
