In my opinion, the two best series of trailers for 2014 have been Unbroken and American Sniper. These were two of, if not the, most anticipated movies of the year. I apologize to Foxcatcher, which had a fantastic trailer and was a movie I was looking forward to. It not only met but exceeded expectations. These two Christmas Day movies have had me buzzing for months. Unfortunately, as the reviews began pouring in, I realized these movies would probably fall short of expectations. American Sniper is currently in the 70% range on Rotten Tomatoes, while Unbroken was way down at around 50%. I have not yet seen American Sniper, but based on the few reviews I have read, I believe I know where it will fall short. If outsiders had screened this movie before its completion, they could have influenced the film’s sequencing to better tell Chris Kyle’s story after his tours of duty. Again, this is my prediction before watching the movie, but I’m going to say it was a good movie that could have been in my top ten of all time. Unfortunately, I did not feel the same way about Unbroken. The trailer didn’t live up to the movie, and I don’t think any editing could have changed that. I found this movie to be very disappointing.
