Movie Trailer Review - Lucy

This is not a review of the trailer, but a review of this movie based entirely on this movie's trailer.  I have a special talent of being able to figure out whether a movie will be any good based just on the trailer and I'm finally putting that talent to good use.  Screw you, it's a real talent.

Can Scarlett Johansson carry an action movie?  At least I think it's an action movie, it may just be a thriller with some action thrown in there.  I'm not entirely sure.  Either way, a scantily clad Sco-Jo (that's her nickname, right?) is always a good way to go even though I really wasn't a fan of hers until she started wearing tight leather in the Marvel movies.

As for the trailer, my first thought was "This doesn't look that bad" and I stick by that.  It's only problem is that it reminds of that terrible movie where Bradley Cooper took a drug and it made him smarter.  And that movie sucked a big one which doesn't bode well for this thing.  I guess the difference is that this movie features a hot chick and also takes it a step further by straight up giving Sco-Jo superpowers, which seems like it is just trying to be another comic book movie without calling it a comic book movie.  Also, you do know that that "You only use 10% of your brain" thing is bullshit, right?  You use your whole brain, just not all at once.  And here is a fun prediction based on the trailer - Morgan Freeman is the bad guy.  So, should you go see this?  Nah.  But it has to be better then the movie I reviewed below.

Estimated Opening Weekend Box Office Gross - $35 million

What Kind of Fart This Movie Will Resemble:

The Malted Milk Ball Fart - Odor alone is diagnostic and positively identifies this fart. It smells exactly like malted milk balls. No other food works this way. It is rare.

Bonus Review - Hercules

If you think The Rock can play a Greek god and you love ridiculous CGI battle sequences, then this is the movie for you.  As for me, no thank you.  Also, I keep seeing movie posters that say "Brett Ratner's Hercules" like he is a badass director or something.  Do you know what else he has directed?  The Rush Hour movies and that terrible 3rd X-Men movie.  Yeah, this thing is going to blow.
