The singing is fine but God the regular acting (which is most of the trailer) is very bad.
Though I am happy this trailer isn't actively trying to hide that it's a musical. Such a dumb trend.
Grande seems absolutely unbearably terrible
Also it's a bit moot since it's one of the most famous musicals of all time but it really is basically the whole movie in 3 minutes.
They didn't have animation at either of the last two upfronts either. Though also keep in mind they always bring the big guns for advertisers so Disney usually doesn't anyways. But yeah we're probably not getting news on the animated front till SDCC
So clearly they've split up the branding: Marvel Studios for the movies, Marvel Television for the live action shows, and Marvel Animation for the animated shows.
Yeah distributors didn't know how to sell it, and I can't blame them, because this trailer...doesn't actually tell people anything about what the movie is about
I'm surprised they didn't even have like "from the director of The Godfather" at any point.
I'm confident the movie will be good, which always helps. But if I hadn't read anything about the story beforehand, and you asked me to explain the plot or premise based on this trailer, I'd have no clue what to say.
I'm confident the movie will be good and will be received well by critics, probably up for several major awards.
I...don't really know how this plays with wider audiences for whom Coppolas name alone isn't enough
