The second teaser was phenomenal but only because it appealed to nostalgia. I still get shivers when I watch it.
Idk, I don't have a problem with the new trailer, I thought it was pretty cool. As I described to Carlie yesterday - "it wasn't exactly mind-blowing" - but it's a good trailer and at least we're not all sitting here going "oh no look what they've done with [x], this movie is going to be terrible".
As for this:

^Define an amazing, exceptionally well-made, interesting trailer then.
It's going to be half subjective isn't it? But if I was to pick an example of a trailer that made me excited for a movie - and I can think of only one - it would be the original hunger games trailer:
Looking back on it, it's a little cheesy. But this trailer was enough to get me to buy and read all the books in the series before the first movie was even released, because I don't go to the cinema to see movies that often and knew I wanted to see this, and because if movies are based on books I like visuals and ideas of the characters in my head before I see the adaptations. I think that trailer is really well done because it gives a good idea of the plot without being too spoiler-y.
Also the Cloverfield chat has made me feel safe enough to say I'm worried for this new trilogy because of the mere fact that JJ Abrams is attached to it, whereas everyone else seems to be having an opposite reaction to that. Everything he's ever done that I've seen - Cloverfield, original attachment to Lost, Alias, Fringe - they all have one thing in common. They're great to watch, but if you like a conclusive well-rounded plot, you're utterly fucked with a mace. There's one thing Abrams likes more than a plot that makes sense, and that's instilling a sense of mystery and "oooo what's going on". I can only hope that it's offset this time by the fact that it's fucking Star Wars, I really hope he doesn't mess with it too much.
. Dull, loads of one-liners lacking context, and no epic movie voice (except for the baddie, maybe).
