Wonder Woman
This trailer has a lot of things we've seen before, Wonder Woman in the trenches, beating up German soldiers, and Steve Trevor's arrival on Themyscira. It all looks fun and makes Diana look action hero awesome so I'm down. The big new thing this time around is an emphasis on Diana as a child and warrior in training and some sort of secret regarding her background. There's a lot of speculation going around including the involvement of Ares as the film's big bad, but a big concern is whether or not the God of War is actually her father. I'm hoping not and I'm actually curious if it might be Zeus considering some sorts of her either absorbing or reflecting lightening.
I also thoroughly enjoy the fish out of water sense of humor the film seems to angling for with Diana's arrival in London (i.e. women's roles with infuriate her and something like a rotating door will befuddle her). Still this is an action packed trailer for the DC's signature female superhero.
Baby Driver
Considering I knew absolutely nothing about this film beforehand, the fact that I'm already amped for this movie tells you how good the trailer is. The story seems simple enough. A young getaway driver named Baby (hence the name) seems to be working towards his freedom from a mob boss played by Kevin Spacey. The heavy implication is that a job or two goes wrong involving Jaime Foxx and Baby is gonna have to drive and fight his way to freedom.
The premise of seeing a literal baby faced actor (The Fault in Our Stars' Ansel Elgort) play a Jason Statham typed wheelman is enticing enough but the film's hook is Baby's odd medical condition that gives him a persistent ringing in his ears which he drowns out through a never-ending supply of headphones and music.
This has all of the makings of Scott Pilgrim styled insanity with fast-paced humor, great action choreography (even some of the car stunts look unique), and a never ending soundtrack of moment appropriate tunes. Add in the killer cast that includes Spacey, Foxx, Jon Bernthal, and Jon Ham and I could not be more amped for this one.
