Plenty of spoilers in this one. Honest Trailers didn’t entirely like YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY SPIDER-MAN, but that’s cool. It did remind me to get back to the show, and that’s the important thing.

The CAPTAIN AMERICA 1979 Honest Trailer.
You will not be surprised to hear that CAPTAIN AMERICA 1979 was bad, and so was its sequel. You may be surprised to see who the villain in the second film was, though. I was. I was also mortified on his behalf. I know that sometimes you have to take a paycheck where you can get it, but still…
The SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 Honest Trailer.
Honest Trailers noted this both in the video and in their blurb: the Sonic franchise is remarkably good, all things considered. I went to see SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 with my kids – and while I wasn’t wowed, particularly, I am neither a teenager nor a player of the Sonic games. Even then, I wasn’t clawing my eyes out, or anything. Jim Carrey was funny. There were some good shots. It did its duty.
Which isn’t nothing. Nobody really expected the franchise to get this far. Well done!

The KRAVEN THE HUNTER Honest Trailer.
I’m surprised. Honest Trailers noted that there were some good action sequences in KRAVEN THE HUNTER. I was expecting them to pan the entire thing. Maybe it’s not entirely bad?

The RED ONE Honest Trailer.
They weren’t fans.
Personally, I thought RED ONE was fine, for given values of ‘fine.’ I’m not surprised Honest Trailers didn’t like it, though. I mean, they have to watch a lot of this stuff. All the time. Me? I can pick and choose my algorithmic homogenized cinematic product. That does make a difference.
The MEGALOPOLIS Honest Trailer.
Is it weird that this Honest Trailer of MEGALOPOLIS kind of makes me want to see the movie now? I originally did, but then I didn’t, and then I did again. Then I heard the reviews and the audience reaction, which just made me appreciate it as a long, involved ‘it’s my money and I can do what I like with it’ exercise on the director’s part.
Now I dunno.

The THE IRON GIANT Honest Trailers.
Honest Trailers decided to play with fire. THE IRON GIANT is one of those movies. You are not required to like it, but by God and His Four Archangels you will not belittle it. Brawls have started over less grievous insults.
The BORDERLANDS Honest Trailer.
To quote James Lileks: this was a labor of hate. On the bright side, any urge I had to watch BORDERLANDS is really dead, now. I even hesitated to put up the link.
But only hesitated. Who knows? You might click the link, and while you’re there not buying it something else might show up that you will buy. The grind is the grind.

The BEETLEJUICE Honest Trailer.
As Honest Trailers notes: the Eighties were a different time. I say that not to condemn, but simply to note the fact. BEETLEJUICE was such a fun movie, in fact, that I am absolutely reluctant to see the sequel. How can it measure up?

The THE CROW Honest Trailer.
…Damn. Now I want to go watch THE CROW again. It’s a great flick. I don’t think Honest Trailers really disagrees with me on that, either.
