The Official FF2 Teaser Thread

[Hunter Rider]

As much as I'd like to say this is a bad move by Fox, I'd say its a more of a moot move. No one's going to rise up against Fox and boycott (although we should've after X3 and that whole campaign of deceit). However, if they think any of us are going to see NoM because the F42 trailer is SOOOO big they're kidding themselves. F4 did well, but it in no way has the following that, say, Spider-Man, Harry Potter, or Star Wars has.

This was simply a moot move that'll put fans in an unpleasent mood and make them judge the trailer, and movie overall, a tad more harshly.

It's also a tad disrespectful and inconsiderate. Like at their website, it says "Go see Night of the Museum to see the new trailer." Even the langauge is cocky and condescending -- an order. How about, "Now Playing with Select Copies of Night of the Museum."

This is a move that in its mootness, showcases more typicaly Fox-greed, alot of doubt in NoM, and also an overalll insensitivity towards fans.

Well put

 

[Hunter Rider]

No, everyone will get a chance to see the trailer, some will just have to wait alittle longer. It's called, "I stopped throwing tantrums over not getting my way" at about 8.

As condescending as that is no one is throwing tantrums,this is a message board we are putting forward our opinion that Fox sucks copious amounts of ass with their dumbtarded choices that flies in the face of all logic,k ?

My interest is piqued by what I've seen of the teaser. It got a couple of wows out of me and I look forward to seeing it when released online. With that said, I'm still cautiously optimistic over FF2, at best. It's still Fox and after X3, damn if I get too hyped up about one of their projects based on trailers. I hope this thing plays out better than the first. The potential is certainly there, although it was there for the original too.

Are people really going to see NOTM just to check out a teaser?

They went to see Harry Potter for Star Wars, and Scooby-Doo for something else. And lest we forget when Episode I was released.

How can anyone complain about it not being online. Are some of you that freaking impatient. Just think of it as an exclusive sneak peek of the trailer which will be available for all to see for free later. Would you prefer they didn't do this at all and still had the same wait??? It's a smart movie, it draws attention to the sequel, it builds up anticipation, it gets people into the theatre at a time which most people are still shopping. It's not the best weekend at the movies and any incentive is better than none to get people into the seats. I wanted to see it so I bought a ticket to see NATM which totally surprised me and was a fun film. Much better than I thought. The trailers make it look bad but it's not. So seeing the movie was a bonus. You guys have the ability to fork out 9 bucks...or wait till Monday. If I was Fox I'd hold it back another weekend but I don't think they will. Making things not so easily accesible at first builds up the buzz.

Exactly.. Go see the movie already.. Don't sit around here and ***** about it.. and if you don't want to join the elite club of people who get off there ass and actually go see the trailer and NATM then stop *****ing about it already..

 

[bosef982]

I really don't think many people are going to see this NOM just to see this trailer. And if they do -- no offense -- you just got fooled and bought. Going to see a movie just for the trailer is beyond pathetic...there are better ways to spend one's money and time.

I seriously have little respect for people who go to see NOM just for this trailer. They are purposely letting themselves be dupped and roped along and, reaffirm for companies, that pulling **** like this in the future works....when really, the vast majority of us are all waiting for it to pop online and not give into Fox and toss them money.

It builds nothing but frustration as some who saw it fap on about how awesome it is while the rest of us just think Fox are ****ing stupid for not putting online like EVERY other summer 2007 blockbuster has done
stop shilling for once and get real AD

The millions that don't live in the US say hi along with those that went and had no teaser attched to their screening

IT IS SAD to go see a movie for its trailer. Remember, I shouldn't have to pay to go see something that suppose to convince me to pay more later to this studio. That's what a trailer is: it's a studios attempt to get you to buy into their movie later. I should not have to pay to see that attempt...the attempt should be made available and ready for all.

What they are doing here is pure greed and underhandedness. Asking someone to pay money so that they can get a chance to sell you on giving them more money is just moronic...as is most people who would do such a thing.

Exactly. This was a stupid and greedy move by Fox. These people who run around here and make it sound like, "Oh, go see the movie..."

No one's going to go see a movie for a trailer, no one with half a brain and half a life.

There's a principle behind this which is that movie trailers over the years have typically been made AVAILABLE TO ALL FOR FREE. Why? Because trailers benefit studios -- not the people watching them. Its their chance to sell their movie. Why why why a studio is arrogant enough to think they have produced something so stellar as to warrant us buying the opportunity to be sold on a future product is beyond me...

Pay for NATM! Trust me.. it is a good movie.. you won't be disapointed..
And if you don't want to pay to see the trailer wait til monday/

You got this nailed all ends up Bo EVERY other movie for next summer has shown me what it has to offer for free at the same time as the rest of the wolrd,i don't see why Fox think they are special given how poor the first movie was and it's ridiculous to think NATM will gain anything more than a few thousand dollars from this exercise

 

[bosef982]

We don't know if it'll be up Monday. Two, you don't see the point.

When you go to a car dealership, you go in and the salesperson attempts to sell you on their product, on their cars, right? Now, say Joe's Car Lot releases this awesome new car and wants to make sure it does really well. But, in order for people to view and test drive this car, you have to pay $10 to test drive a mediocre car that Joe's Car Lot is trying to clear out. You don't have to buy it, just test drive it and pay $10. After which, you can then go examine and inspect and test drive their new awesome car. Would you say that's fair?

No, probably not. Why should a consumer pay to give a producer a chance to sell their product for them in an obvious attempt to skim money from that consumer on a mediocre product?

Sorry, I just called it as I saw it. It is a freaking trailer, and yet you guys ***** like it is the mother of all slams to you. Do I think you feel that way? No, but it reads like it.

Logic is chilling and waiting for the trailer. Dumbtarded choices is *****ing for hours on end about not seeing a trailer at the same time others might see it. The damn thing will probably come on line Monday, just like the first one. What is the big deal about waiting? We probably won't see it until sometime next week. So what?

I didn't even think about the international sector on this and how they're screwed. You look at a movie like Superman Returns which would've tanked had it not been for international revenue bolstering it.

Too often studios fail to recognize the HUGE profits that lay beyond America's borders -- Warner Bros. did a good job on this on both Batman and Superman. Fox still hasn't got the knack for it which is odd since American entertainment technology is going ahead at such a fast rate as to produce a more home-based, private cinema experience at one's home, and not at the theater.

Night at the Museum is actually a good movie.

Then you see it lopsided,i log in and out as i go about my day,as do many here,right now things are slow and Fox are **** so most of us feel like saying so in this thread,when i log off in an hour to watch POTC2 with my family i will forget about it but while listening to music and browsing this board everytime i see this thread pop up with lame excuses trying to refute that this is utter bull**** from Fox i'm gonna have my say,takes me 30 relaxed seconds to do it then i reply to my PM's or whatever else

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Is that John Byrne having a cameo?

 

[Orko Is King]

FOX was smart.. How many of you people went and seen NATM just to see the trailer?

Not me.

 

[DOG LIPS]

I ... I actually went to see the movie.

Yep,i don't even have the choice to see it or not and in truth i probably would have as i thought NATM looked relatively fun,sometimes studios need to realise there is a whole world outside the US

No, I think for some fans there is more behind this. This is yet ANOTHER SNUB by Fox to fans. It started with the first F4, which while barely passable as a good movie, failed to connect with a lot of people. It reeked of studio politics and mass-marketing injections like rock/pop music, extreme sports, etc. It was a movie made to make money, not to explore a group of ordinary, bright people who are gifted amazing abilities.

There's a huge difference. As much as one may hate Superman Returns, it is a movie that explores what happens when Superman returns to an Earth that's moved on beyond him. Yes, it has its Hollywood moments, but neveronce are you yanked from the film by an overt product placement or song placement that reminds you of something outside of the film, rather then immersing you more in it. X-Men 3, as much as I hate it and it has its own set of studio controls, sticks to this as well. It's a movie, not a debit card on film.

Then you have X-Men 3 which was...regardless if you like the movie...horrific in terms of how far Fox went to decieve fans. Everything from the preproeuction set reports, to the trailers, to the notorious Penn and Kinberg blogs, to the "Sneak Peek of X3" on the F4 DVD reeked of a concern over the bottom line above that of the consumer.

So this movie, AGAIN, by Fox is just another snub that pisses people off. Their favorite characters are in the hands of someone who plays with the consumer's dollar and violates the inviolate trust between consumer and manufacturer and does so using their fanboysim as a tool to their own demise.

It's sad and somewhat unethical...and it will catch up with them. Look at Fox's Blockbuster movies the past few years and while they make money, find the one's that get great reviews. They're not. F4 was panned as was X3 for the most part. This will show later on, when F42 sees better DVD profits and rental profits then they do in-theater numbers.

You DC people. You'll use any little excuss to try to put a damper on what was shown and the excitement it has generated. Take your head out of the sand, stop *****ing, and enjoy the ride. For goodness sake. The trailer was awsome, the movie is going to be huge, people will flock to see it. I know that puts a bee in your shorts, but get used to it. This movie will rock.
