man, no matter how good or bad the movie ends up being, the editor of this trailer deserves an award
I’ve seen it twice now in theaters, and the rhythmic and narrative coherence of the whole thing PUMPS ME UP
(especially in contrast to the fucking mess of the Transformers trailer that inevitably followed both times, and consisted solely of loud french horn honks and crashes interspersed occasionally with meaningless overwrought dialogue delivered with zero conviction)
in any case, I’m going to now forever associate that Kanye song with Charlize Theron pummeling a man with a freezer door, and I have no complaints about that
LISTEN, I’D WATCH CHARLIZE THERON EAT CEREAL FOR AN HOUR AND NOT COMPLAIN. HER BEATING UP MEN AND HAVING HOT HAIR AND WEARING SEXY SPY OUTFITS AKIN TO JAMES BOND’S???? I. AM. THERE.
I love this trailer.
“Badass spy. Physical pain because fighting this hard and this much fucking hurts. More badass spy. Clever inserts into who she is, who she works for. Me physical fighting, more self medication. Badass spy. Betrayal (classic spy plot). She goes off the script, she shows why.”
Its a damn good slice of storytelling.
