Chronicle Trailer Looks Like What Would Happen if Superpowers Happened in Real Life

Sigh…

Why with the handheld-camera-nonstop-chatter-improv style? We all took a vote when Cloverfield came out. We all hate it. Please stop doing it.

Its a style, I like it, cloverfield was so-so but [rec] was amazing, it can certainly work

I’ll grudgingly keep an open mind, having not seen [rec]. But there’s a good reason most directors don’t let their actors improv; most people are really bad at it. I can’t stand that “Just keep talking constantly because this is totally how people talk” nonsense.

I think you are all missing the point completely. This is not a matter of camera style. The is a realistic demonstration that people are not responsible enough to have superpowers. Admit it, if you were superman would you A.) save a kitten from a tree B.) fly to D.C. and impose your Imperial will upon the near mortals. I would pick B myself :) Looks like a great movie!

Joy… Another movie about teenagers with powers. Anyone else had it with prepubescent protagonists in the science fiction/fantasy genera? The story would have been a lot more interesting if told by adult.

Cranky Geezer standing by…

Troll Hunter is also done with the same camera work and I enjoyed that movie. It’s on Netflix but you will need to use the subtitles unless you speak Dutch.

i think they’re called Space Bar and Spaces. notsurethough

Jessie J. “Price Tag”

It’s basically a live-action americanized version of Akira.  It looks cool but I bet it’s nowhere near as good as Akira…

Sad little troll replying from his mothers basement…

“Why with the handheld-camera-nonstop-chatter-improv style? We all took a vote when Cloverfield came out. We all hate it.”

Well when that vote of hate took expressed itself in a critical (including general audiences who rated it online, not just the pro critics) and commercial success, the studio must have inexplicably misunderstood!

Your idea of critical success and mine must be very different. And you’ll be very hard-pressed indeed to convince me that just because a film made money, it was a quality film, but you’re welcome to try.

same thing i thought.  I actually thought it was the akira movie and i had missed it somehow.  they’ve got my interest.

and to everybody else, damn…some people just want to be miserable in life

who the hell do you mean by “we” took a vote? you pretentious prick….

you’re the last person to be calling anyone “sad.” the comment of yours I had the misfortune of reading was probably one of the saddest things I’ve seen all year.

We didn’t ask you to the vote because of your temper.

again, who’s “we?” stop acting delusional and assuming anybody gives a shit about your opinion

Great trailer!  I didn’t know what was going on until halfway through, and then the rewind to before the beginning was perfect!

We don’t all hate it. Don’t automatically co-sign people to your opinion.

Fine. People with taste hate it. Fixed.

“We” is everyone with a burning distaste for lazy, terrible filmmaking. Which is why you weren’t invited either.

Didn’t heroes already do this?

I think this dude is a dork……Superman costume is aight…..think about the realistic fact of super man flying and deflecting bullets in satin……clothes would be shredded, cape shredded, jus from wind turbulence alone.

Cloverfield was great story.. But because of the shakey handycam.. people left the cinema in droves due to vertigo and motion sickness. Losing audience is not how one makes a blockbuster. I’m a skydiver for heavens sake and the film even made me crook. I’m looking forward to Chronicle, I pray it’s not too shakey.
