I like watching movie trailers and then reviewing the movie based on the information gleaned from them. I work at the Telluride Film Festival, and I get to see quite a few movies well before their domestic release dates, so I have a little insight into those movies as well. Because the TFF program isn't released until the day of the festival, I like to try and guess what might show up here.

Trailer

People always complain that movies today are much shittier than the old timey ones. This is bullshit, but playing along gives us the reason for this movie: It's black and white, it's lit entirely low key, it's got some iconic shots that feel really familiar. Is it any good? Tough call. Spiderman, Galadriel and the crappiest Batman star.
Anticipated rating: 6/10
