Review: (#1) A strong design that would work better if the image didn’t look so fakely superimposed. It’s a bit distracting, which isn’t to say that it doesn’t work. It just doesn’t work well. (#2) It’s not a great design, but it’s at least reveals a portion of the film’s premise, even if it requires watching the trailer or knowing the plot first. (#3) A blocky, visually unexciting design that has been far overdone. (#4) Boring and overdone aren’t that interesting. This falls into the former category. It still has too much PhotoShopping in it, but it’s a mite better than the third design.

Trailer Rating: B+

Review: The filmic enchantment with World War II and Nazi Germany has created some great and not-so-great films. While this one may fall into the latter category, the trailer suggests it’s of the former.
