I thought The God Complex was pretty good, but I found it incredibly distracting that they recycled the musical score from previous episodes rather than write anything new.



Last night I saw Megamind. I had initially refused to watch it because the trailers were so incredibly shite, but I realised whilst watching it that they only represented the first 15 minutes of the film; after that point it went in a totally unexpected, but awesome, direction. I absolutely loved it.

But that brings up another issue; what is it about animated films lately that they always have shite trailers? How To Train Your Dragon's trailer made it look like a cliche Disney flick about a boy and his pet. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs made it look corny and crap. Pretty much every single Pixar film since the original Cars has had a trailer that made me hesitate to go see it. How can they so completely fail to represent the aspects of the films that are actually worth seeing?
