Review: (#1-#12) These character posters may have a lot of blank space, but that’s unimportant with the richly detailed character details in the colorful swaths across the center of the design. That each is unique per design as are, roughly, the main character poses, this set is an incredibly strong design.

(#13) This adds a thirteenth character to the prior 12 character posters already revealed and bares the same quality. (#14 & #15) Sharing the style of the character posters, these primary posters represent different markets and work equally well in combination. The major difference here is that Donnie Yen takes a much bigger place on the design for Asian markets than he does for English ones. (#16) This IMAX poster should do a decent job selling that it’s an IMAX adventure, but it’s just a simple, uninteresting image selection.

Trailer Rating: C / B

Review: (#1) Even if you enjoyed the first film, to sell the new film, you have to adhere to a formula and make the audience want to see your film. To an extent, this trailer did that. Unfortunately, not everyone will be as excited about the limited plot details on display or the feeling of relative narrative cheapness.

(#2) With more details of the plot, all the elements that made us interested in Xander Cage originally are on full display here. That said, there are some questionable elements that make this seem like a stylish action film without a heart, but that could be resolved with an actual plot within the film.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
