If you don't like the movie trailer, do you think that you probably would not like the movie?

A lot of effort goes into making a movie trailer, trying to entice you to see the movie. It may be that you will find that the movie does not live up to its promise, but it seems to me that if you are not impressed by the trailer then you almost certainly will not care for the movie.

I was really looking forward to seeing Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, until I saw the trailer. Coming from Tim Burton, I was hoping for a slightly twisted dark interpretation of the original. As Jefferson Airplane showed in their song White Rabbit, there is ample opportunity for doing this. What I found was, firstly, that the title of the movie is misleading. It is not a retelling of the original, but a story of Alice’s return to Wonderland as a young woman. There is not anything wrong with this, but the title of the movie should have indicated what the story was about. The movie uses the same characters from Lewis Carroll’s books, but, even given that Carroll is a tough act to follow, it all seemed to be a bunch of fluff with no particularly witty or insightful dialog. I will not be going to see the movie.
