Super Bowl Spots: Transformers 4 and Spider-Man 2 Trailers

Last night saw the hugely anticipated Super Bowl game between Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks with the Seahawks taking victory in a dominating manner. However, for film fans around the world it was not just the match that we were interested in, more the half time Super Bowl Spots. With it being one of sports biggest events it is the perfect opportunity for film advertisement.  You can see a list of all of the Super Bowl Spots here. We are going to focus on two of the trailers that featured at the half time break; "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." 

Transformers 4: Age of Extinction


  
 
PREPARE FOR EXTINCTION. That's right - at last we have our first glimpse of the action that is and will be "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction."  In true Michael Bay style, CGI has been used to the fullest effect but lets be honest, would we expect anything different? So, back to the trailer itself, which gives a glimpse/blink of the action at most - so do not look away. We get to see Mark Wahlberg who plays a mechanic and things do not look like they are going well for him; his daughter seems to have been taken as an attack is happening.  We also get to see Optimus Prime riding what looks like a robotic dinosaur/dragon. Watch the trailer for yourself and let us know your thoughts.  Is the reboot going to work for Michael Bay and the Transformers franchise or is it going to be one film to many?
 
 
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 
 


One word - WOW! What a trailer. This really does look like it is going to be one of the better Spider-Man films that has ever been released.  Andrew Garfield reprises his role as our favourite web slinging superhero that is Spider-Man but this time he is up against a much more difficult enemy.  We say, enemy, but really we mean enemies.  Jamie Foxx can be seen playing Electro, an employee of Oscorp who unfortunately inherits electronic abilities.  His anger at being a 'nobody' fuels him to cause havoc on the city.  Not only this, but we also get to see Harry Osborn and  the Oscorp vision of the future; with clips of The Rhino and Green Goblin. In one scene you can also see bionic octopus arms that surely will end up belonging to Doctor Octopus.  With not long to wait, we are certainly looking forward to the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" on 18th April 2014. Do you think this will be the best Spider-Man movie ever? Is it enough to challenge Marvel's own success of Thor, Captain America and Iron-Man?
