Oh I completely agree. Maybe I shouldn't be but I'm decently cautiously optimistic. Enjoyed both the Aquaman and Shazam trailers. 

 

Here's hoping I get there with Venom. I don't like the trailers man. I'm trying to but I can't force myself to. 

I still don't know what to think about venom trailers so you are not alone. is it a comedy? Unintentional comedy? What is it?

To undestand Hardy in this you need to practice for two weeks with TDKR and Peaky Blinders. "Leo and the bear" might help as well

[DMan7]

So will they be showing subtitles when this movie is in theaters or what? Could this be one of the first movies to show English subtitles for English speaking characters?

[YLF]

I liked the first trailer but this one is just awful lol the CGI looks bad and some of the lines from venom were corny....

 

i couldnt decipher what was being said in the trailer

Most excited I've been for a movie since TFA

[Zakiyyah6]

All the Transformers movies have amazing CGI and the movies are pure garbage. I can deal with Spotty CGI what I can't deal with are uninteresting characters and bad storytelling.

Wait until we get the Locke double Tom H crossover and Venom starts speaking Welsh.

Okay, I love Tom Hardy, but his New York accent really isn’t working. 

 

Anyway, there wasn’t really anything about the trailer that grabbed me. That end bit with him telling the guy how he’s gonna eat him was kind of amusing, and the fact that he literally licks someone’s face is pretty hilarious, but for the most part, this seemed like a pretty standard trailer. 

 

As as a side note, as someone who does not understand the complaints about the CGI in the Aquaman trailer, I will say that the CGI for this movie actually does look kind of dodgy.

You’ve found subtitles?

 

Nope

I wonder if critics will spew venom at it.

JL bombed because of BVS yet WW opened over $100 million that makes a lot of sense.

 

Suicide Squad 2 is still going to happen, WB is just letting filmmakers take their to do it right.

[Zakiyyah6]

One of my main problems with the Venom trailers is that I see no emotional component even being hinted at. All I see is Hardy once again pretending to be Marlon Bando mumbling his lines and "kewl" shots of Venom. Mumbling guy becomes Venom. Why should I care?

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

 I will say that it still does nothing for me because i don't want to say that it looks like absolute shit.

Spoiler

But it does

WW opened well because it looked far removed from BVS.

 

JL flopped Opening Weekend because it looked like a continuation of BVS.

Even then WW opened to less than $10m more than JL with very good reviews and with the bonus of being a long awaited movie and the first female lead SH film in over a decade.  It's opening was probably also damaged by BvS.  It's legs are what made it huge, not it's opening.

It does make some sense, WW was set a century before BvS, looked different and achieved that 100m OW by attracting the F+25 demo.

 

JL looked like a direct continuation to BvS that did set it at the end of the movie. And JL friday was bigger than WW.

 

Preview gross:

 

BvS: 27.700m

Justice league: 13m

WW : 11.000m

 

WW drop from BvS could easily have been worst than JL,  success is a lot a good internal multi/legs story.
