I watched the trailer of Chronicle immediately after I watched this trailer. The only reason I knew this was PR was because it said so at the start.

I wanna be positive, but I can't be here. This movie needs to appeal to a general public audience, not a fandom that's been blue-balling for some dark anything in their children's product. The only people I see happy about this movie are the same folks that say "screw the show". It shouldn't gain praise by putting down something else. It should have its own merits & be measured by them.

There's nothing bad in the trailer but it doesn't feel like PR. It was so gloomy & depressing. I felt awkward when watching it. I'm supposed to feel excitement & hype. Not angst & emptiness. Where's the fun?

I don't want this to be like the show. We need a change. But I don't want this to copy some SyFy/CW/Teen Novel Film vibe. PR have an identity. It's just not in this trailer. It might be a good movie, but it shouldn't be called PR.

Hopefully I'm wrong & this film does better than I think it will. You know it's gonna get a sequel just on name alone. But they talked about building an entire cinematic universe, because everyone & their Mom is trying so hard to have one nowadays. And I can't see that with this current method. You need to have more than "dark", "edgy", "mature", "serious" stuff to be good. You need to use your materials properly no matter what tone they are.

Sorry, I'm wishing real hard that I'm wrong, but this doesn't look good to me.
