When the first trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom arrived, it got a bit of a mixed reception. For everyone who thought it looked awesome, another wondered whether it was possible for a franchise to jump the shark in a promo. Now a new trailer/expanded Super Bowl Spot has arrived, which shows the movie won’t be totally crazy – although it still looks rather over the top.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful franchises in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

For a decade the threads that have woven between all parts of the Marvel Universe have been leading towards Infinity War. The evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) has been lurking on the edges, while various movies have involved what will be revealed to be the Infinity Stones.
When the 
Marvel/Disney decided that for its Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl spot, all it needed to do was show just how many heroes its bringing together for the movie. There’s a sense that the 10 years since Iron Man have been leading to this, with the Avengers from earlier movies being joined by the likes of Doctor Strange and the Guardians Of The Galaxy to take on Thanos.
I feel that after watching this first trailer for the follow-up to the mega-hit Jurassic World, you may be asking yourself, ‘WTF have I just seen?’ It’s kind of like an explosion of over-the-top-ness. No longer just content with killer dinos, they’ve gone and thrown in an exploding volcano!

It’s very short, but the first footage from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has arrived online, which shows as Chris Pratt back as Owen Grady, petting a very cute baby raptor. I suppose it’s a good thing Owen still has a good relationship with at least some of the dinos after the dramatic events of Jurassic World!
Although we’ve had a couple of promos for the excellent looking Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, one thing we haven’t seen is Kurt Russell as Star Lord’s father, Ego the Living Planet. That’s now been remedied with a new trailer – although you have to wait until the very end to see him. Oddly, he does look like he really could be Chris Pratt’s dad.
Guardians Of The Galaxy certainly wasn’t lacking in action, but it appears that they may be upping the stakes for Volume 2, as this new Extended Look is packed to the brim with sci-fi fighting, flying and general craziness. They may also be bidding for having the world’s cutest character with Baby Groot.
If you haven’t seen Passengers, you may be sad to hear it doesn’t feature Chris Pratt’s man bits. However, it might add a frisson to know that during his shower scene, he really was completely naked.
