We all love movie trailers. Some of us get to the theater early so we can catch all the trailers. We review trailers. Studios even make trailers for trailers. (And we review those, too.) Trailers get people excited. That’s their job, if they’re done correctly. Comic-Con has unveiled a bunch of trailers over the past few days. Cinelinx is taking a second look at seven trailers for some of the most anticipated upcoming movies.

 For those of you who were hoping that the soon-to-be-released 10 Cloverfield Lane would be a direct sequel to the 2008 hit Cloverfield…sorry! JJ Abrams has revealed that the giant monster from the first film will not appear in the new movie. However the film will not be monsterless.

The much beloved Ratchet & Clank video game franchise is becoming a movie and have new images and an official poster in advance of the April release!

We recently saw the release of the trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane, which started life as an independent film unrelated to Cloverfield but was rewritten as a sequel (of sorts). This got us thinking about other films that were conceived as original projects but were altered by studios to become sequels to existing franchises.

Disney and Pixar have released one of the most anticipated sequels, Monsters University, on Blu-ray and DVD. I have only one question after taking it in. How can a follow-up to such a highly regarded movie seem so stale when filmmakers had nearly 12 years to come up with a good storyline? What we get instead is an uninspired family-friendly rehash of Revenge of the Nerds and Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise.

Cinelinx freaks out over the new Disney/Pixar Monsters University Blu-ray!

From the makers of Coraline comes another stop motion animated film that will probably scare your kids. That's a good thing though, don't worry.
