The Herald's Rest

I will now rant about this trailer for a bit.

I love how it starts. Absolutely dig it. The first meeting of the secret identities; Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, bantering about their respective superhero personas. The line about "clones dressed like freaks" from Bruce might be a bit on the nose, but it's awesome. 
Then Lex shows up. I must say, at first I smiled at his dialogue there; however, upon repeated viewings, I found it a bit too cheesy. Sure, I understand it's an act, and much like the two gentlemen he's talking to, he is putting on somewhat of a mask- but man, turn it down just a little. 
We get a lot more shots concerning the integral conflict between the two heroes, and those are great. A lot more direct than what we've previously been shown, but they are really well-done. "Stay down! If I wanted it, you'd be dead already." Great line from Supes right there- and totally true. Right, fellow Superman-fans? >.>
Anyway. That stuff was all great and well. But...

We get into more Lex stuff. Lois Lane saying he's psychotic; his response (which I had to rewind a few times because I couldn't understand a word he said) was something I really quite like- "That is a three syllable-word for any thought too big for little minds." So far so good. But then we hear:

"If man won't kill god... the devil will do it!"

Aaand Lex Luthor is Victor Frankenstein now? Like, dude, that set-up seems ripped straight from a Frankenstein movie. And the way he acts... such a caricature. What the fuck. I understand it suits his character and personality and whatnot, but dude, tone down the fucking Jim Carrey Riddler, please! Jesus Christ. 
Then we see Doomsday show up. Well, what I assume is Doomsday, because he looks like the fucking cave troll from Fellowship of the Ring. Seriously. Look.


Okay, fine, whatever. A lot of people have been pointing out that Doomsday evolves with each punch he receives or each time he "dies" or whatever- some are even speculating he will become the Justice League movie villain, and this is just his first stage. So that makes him baby Doomsday. I don't like his look all that much. 
Speaking of; why the fuck did they decide to put him in a trailer FOUR MONTHS before the movie comes out? What the fuck?! The whole trailer is like a mini-version of the movie anyway. Well, not like we didn't know much of the plot already, but come on! And yay, I guess Wonder Woman is the deus ex machina of the film.

"She with you?"
"I thought she was with you."

I get it, a bit of light-hearted dialogue doesn't hurt. But that is just... who wrote that?! And then we get a shot of the Trinity, which is cool, but a little bit silly. Oh well. 

The whole trailer is all over the place anyway. It starts off with almost a full scene, then it's a lot of shots going really fast, with some of them badly edited to fit the music, and then it slows down for the full reveal/climactic scene of/with Doomsday- which should've been left in the movie.
It's not like I hate the fact that Doomsday is even in it; I don't. When there were rumours in the fandom about it, I disliked it at first, but over time I've come to accept it. And I have no doubt the fight against him will be epic, especially with someone like Zack Snyder at the helm. The whole movie probably will be.

I'm looking forward to it. Of course I am. Hell, I've probably been the most excited for it out of anyone for the last two years. Man of Steel is, still, my favourite comic book/superhero movie. But this trailer disappointed me. And it was quite underwhelming,even though it started off quite nicely. 
But I might change my tune later on. These are just my first impressions after watching it a couple times.
