The new trailer for "Man of Steel" has been unleashed online and it looks amazing. It has a "The Dark Knight" feel to it from an obvious input of Christopher Nolan as Executive Producer on the project, but the true calling is in the action sequences that are few and far between.
Director Zack Snyder won the job of directing "Man of Steel" because of his directorial ability in "300" and "Watchmen" both of which were visually stunning movies. However, the true essence of those movies lied in its action sequences where the fights were sped up for fast paced in your face style and slowed down for a dramatic tone defining effect. These visuals are whats missing from the trailer and I feel what is keeping audiences on the fence about the film.
I feel the marketing team is keeping those out of play in order to bait us into wanting more out of "Man of Steel" but at the same time it is putting people off as it lays in the aftermath of what Christopher Nolan has done and seen as a carbon copy. While it should be said that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I feel that if the third trailer does not produce action sequences, expect the turnout for this movie to be poor.
