The somewhat brutally exasperated ‘Suicide Squad’ Honest Trailer.

I understand why, too.  I liked Suicide Squad, but DC still hasn’t gotten its stuff together yet when it comes to movies.  Which is, like Honest Trailers, I am also somewhat worried about the Wonder Woman movie.  I would very much like them to not throw away the multiple advantages that they have, going in, with that property.

Welp. Honest Trailers did the new Ghostbusters.

And they turned off the comments, going in.  …Which was the right play, there.  Something for everybody in this one, I think. Or perhaps “a pox on all the houses, including Honest Trailer’s.”  Seriously, they ended this one kind of yelling at themselves.

I really didn’t think that the new Ghostbusters was that bad, honestly. They edited it too much and lost an important scene or two, but it wasn’t Batman & Robin or anything. But that’s apparently a minority opinion, these days.

Huh. This Honest Trailer is really trying to sell me on The Jungle Book.

I skipped it because I never really watched the original movie – read all the Kipling books, of course – and I have a jaundiced view of this trend of the Mouse to live-action all of its animated stuff. But Screen Junkies really loved this flick. I mean, they made almost no fun of it at all:

I should maybe take The Jungle Book more seriously, then?

This Honest Trailer really locks some stuff about Batman v. Superman.

I mean, I liked the movie well enough. It’s not up to MCU standards, but Batman v. Superman had some very decent elements in it. Mostly, as that video points out, involving Batman. Ben Affleck actually worked as both Batman and Bruce Wayne for me; and, hey, no origin story. It can be safely assumed that we already know the history there! Which is great. It may confuse the dickens out of 30th century researchers who may not be familiar with the iconography of the Early Middle American Period, but then they can always just ask Superboy anyway.

…No, I have no idea who could properly direct a Legion of Super-Heroes movie, either. It’s a tough question, isn’t it? You’d probably want to just turn it into a miniseries, or something.
