Review: (#1) Lots of neon and a blocky finish don’t make for a very enticing design. (#2-#11) These character posters have some distinct background details, but they are blurry and uninteresting. The rest of the design is clunky. (#12) The background is ugly, but the rest of the content is interesting and fitting. (#13-#20) While the background isn’t great, the ability to fit each character into the various letters of the film’s title is a well designed effort.

Trailer Rating: B- / B+

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) A couple of moments in the trailer are compelling, but the overall structure of it suggests a fairly rote exploration of theme and plot, which might inhibit its ability to connect.

(#2) A more riveting and exciting trailer than its predecessor with enough plot details to keep the audience engaged and some decent music to go with it all.
