Set eyes to goggle: the inevitable Superbowl trailer round-up

You want trailers? We got fuckin' trailers. We got big trailers, little trailers, blockbuster trailers, titties in trailers, robot trailers, alien trailers, avenger trailers, cowboy trailers! Just to reiterate: we got trailers.
If I was executive producer Steven Spielberg, I would be seriously worried about just how much his mini-me JJ Abrams is homaging him here. A nod here and a musical cue there is all well and good, but we're surely only months away from JJ's 'beard and baseball cap' phase.
30 seconds isn't really a substantial amount of time in which to accurately judge a movie, but I'm hoping Captain America doesn't look quite as camp and rubbery as this TV spot - and I'm really hoping that last gag wasn't the movie's best joke. Hugo Weaving's Red Skull looks aces, mind.
Damn. Damn my stupid self for getting excited about this. If I played that Revenge Of The Fallen trailer once, I played it a hundred times. I won't get burned again. I will not get excited for Transformers 3. But how about that Optimus Prime tracking shot, huh? Fuck.
If there are fears that Captain America looks too campy, then surely we should be worried that Kenneth Branagh's Thor falls the other side of the spectrum: it has potential to be laughably pretentious. And really, 'Two worlds, one hero'? It's like Shakespeare, it is!
Pew pew pew!
I wasn't the biggest fan of Pirate voyages two and three, but I'm happy to welcome Captain Jack Sparrow back into port simply because he's a great character and Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley aren't around to stink this one up. And anyway, you've got to like a bit of Evil Lovejoy.
Hurrrrr.
Oh dear.
Tits.
At this point, you can probably guess I'm getting bored of this.
World Invasion: Battle For Los Angeles: LA Invasion (or whatever it ends up being called) had me at 'Aliens meets Saving Private Ryan' and this TV spot has done nothing to stem my excitement. Can't bloody wait.
