Welcome back to Beka's View! And my first post of my new posting schedule! I hope Monday has treated you all well, if not make yourself a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy my 'review' or overview of the brand new Cinderella trailer!
I wasn't expecting to be doing another one of these so soon, but I don't decide when trailers get released do I. So this afternoon (UK) or this morning depending on were you live in the world. Summit released a brand spanking new, full length trailer for the hotly anticipated Divergent film!
If you have yet to see it, watch below before continuing on.
Divergent Trailer!
Tagline: One choice can transform you
You may remember how disappointed I was by the original teaser trailer that was released a couple of months back. So the question is had my opinion changed now that We've got to see a little more?
It's been a while since we did a trailer talk hasn't it. And since a new and final trailer for Catching Fire was released this week, I thought why not do a trailer analysis. It's only a short minute long trailer, but boy is it action packed and probably my favourite trailer of all the ones released for this film!
If you have yet to see it, watch below before continuing on.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Final Trailer!
Tagline: Remember who the enemy is. & Every revolution begins with a spark.
You'll remember my disappointment at the trailer for Divergent which was a similar length to this, well ladies and gentleman I can assure you there was no disappointment when I watched this trailer, just lots of screaming and fan girling!
Hello everyone happy Wednesday the week is almost over!
Today I present a trailer analysis. And it's a trailer that I have been waiting for, for a very long time. Ever since set pictures started to be released (in fact ever since I heard filming had started) The trailer I will be looking at today is.... (well you can already see in the title can't you!)
Divergent!
Now I saw this trailer on Sunday during the VMA's, and if any of you follow me on Twitter then you know that my reaction wasn't quite on the scale of what it was when I saw the new Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer a while back.
Now have you watched the trailer? If not go watch it now before continuing on below!

Today I present a trailer analysis. I haven't done one of these for a while so I thought it was a reasonable time to do another. The trailer I will be looking at today is.... (well you can already see in the title can't you!)
The Hunger Games : Catching Fire!
In my last trailer talk post it was more of an initial reaction versus how I felt shortly after watching the trailer. Now I saw this trailer on I think it was Saturday, and if any of you follow me on Twitter then you know how excited I got over it so needless to say it has taken a few days for me to calm down and actually analyse the trailer properly.
Now have you watched the trailer? If not go watch it now before continuing on below!
If you didn't already know next year there will be two films
released that are adaptations of popular Young Adult novels. Those Films are
the The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and The Host.
Now both films have recently had trailers released, and as a
fan of both books I couldn't wait to see how they would translate on film, so
to say I was pretty excited to watch the trailers would be an understatement.
So without further ado in case you haven't seen them yet,
here are the trailers, I suggest watching them before you read my reviews on
them (:
Okay so I'll start with the Mortal Instruments.
1)Initial Reaction: I screamed like a fan girl, I had been
waiting for this trailer all week watching the countdown grow smaller on the Facebook
page, needless to say I was happy.
2) How do I feel now: Personally I'm still not entirely sold
on Jamie Campbell Bower playing Jace, it's stupid but Jace is pretty much
described as being swoon worthy and he's just not swoon worthy however there
were a few scenes, in the trailer that made me feel like despite the whole
'looks' thing that he was Jace. For instance the look he gives Clary after she
screams in the club, the badass flip on to the table amongst others. Clary well
I liked the casting of Lily Collins from the start so I have no problems here.
Simon is cute. The effects though this is just a teaser trailer and they only
just finished filming look amazing! I’m assuming the woman floating above the
bed was Clary’s mother? I’m not sure. Why does Isabelle have flame thrower? Sure
it looks badass but her weapon of choice is a gold whip. Why are Isabelle and
Alec at the Hotel Dumort, I’m pretty sure that’s what that scene is, isn’t it
just supposed to be Jace and Clary? Minor grievances that I’m sure will be cleared
up with a full length trailer. I may just go and watch this trailer again… and
again.
3)When is it released?: So this film is due for release in
August next year, it's a long way off yet and a feel it will be a while before
we get our next sneak peek most likely it will be at the MTV movie awards or
something like that.
4) Would I see the film based on trailer alone?: Okay so
forgetting that I loved the book, yes I probably would because it showed
variety in the trailer it hinted at the relationship of Jace and Clary, it
showed a Silent Brother, we saw Valentine and a lot of pretty scary Demons to,
so yes I would see this film based on the trailer alone.
5)Overall Score: I give this trailer an 8/10 purely because
I want to see more, I love what I saw but being an insane fan girl over this
series I want a full length trailer as soon as possible.
Next on to the Host.
1) Initial Reaction: What the F is this? I didn't like it,
not one bit; I was extremely disappointed, which upset me because I was really
looking forward to it.
2) How do I feel now: I still don't like it, I've watched it
a few more time after my initial viewing and it still bothers me? I don't like
that they focused so much of the trailer on the relationship between Melanie
and Jared. I mean the first bit of the trailer had Melanie saying this is the
beginning of a Love Story. No it isn't! At least it shouldn't be. They are
turning this book into another Twilight which it isn't! There is more to the
book than the relationships, there has been an Alien invasion, and this is
about how those who have avoided being 'possessed' by the aliens survive in an
infested world. It's about Melanie and how she fights against the Alien that is
placed in her body. To me, the relationship is pretty much secondary and I
didn't like that it was the focal point of the trailer. Also I still don't the
casting of Melanie, she's supposed be strong and tough she looks really weak
and kind of girly I don't get it, the actress cast seems more suited to the
person Wanda's soul gets moved into at the end of the film.
3)When is it released?: This film is due for release in
March next year, which is why we now have a full length trailer for it, I doubt
we are going to get another trailer perhaps a few clips of the film here and
there as the release date draws close.
4)Would I see the film based on trailer alone?: No I
wouldn't, if I was just an ordinary person, who had stumbled across the
trailer, having never read the book, I would think it's a cheesy love story
with aliens thrown in and I wouldn't waste money on a cinema ticket to see it.
I was that disappointed by the trailer.
5)Overall Score: I give this trailer a grand total of 4/10,
I like the seeker, I liked the chase scenes, I liked the shot at the end when
Melanie walks up to the mirror as Jared asks if she is still in there, like it
shows there are two people inside that body. I didn't like anything else about
it. It was very disappointing.
