Review: (#1) The blocky yellow lettering may barely go with the image, the combination isn’t very interesting or enticing.

(#2) You can add texture to background, but if it’s still blank, it’s not that interesting. The characters are posed generically and the overall design is bland.

(#3) Maybe it will make sense to wrestling fans. To everyone else, it’s not likely to be compelling.

Trailer Rating: B- / B-

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) The trailer starts off poorly and if it weren’t for the performances of the young cast, it would feel like a painfully lame attempt by British filmmakers to include an American idol in its narrative cheapness. Then again, there’s something compelling about the story that even Dwayne Johnson can’t inhibit.

(#2) With more details about the film, the core of humor is still as loose and unfocused as the prior trailer, we just have more background information to go with it.
