Transformers 2
This is the final trailer release for Transformers 2: Revenge of the fallen and it looks as though Michael Bay is showing off more of the same in the sequel...similar doosmday plot, bigger robot destroyers, more Bumblebee awkwardness and more over-the-top action scenes to poke a stick at. Audiences will no doubt love it and it'll make over a billion dollars worldwide. Autobots roll out!

Terminator: Salvation
McG's re-imagining of the Terminator series continues to look better and better with every piece of footage released. In particular, these new TV spots (6,7 and 8) - seem to indicate that audiences will get to see more of the early terminator models (the ones glimsed upon in T1 and T2). This already looks much better than the travesty that was Terminator 3.
And, with the rumours of Arnie making a cameo at the end of this film (via CG de-aging technology ala Benjamin Button), we're very excited for the next installment of the series.

G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra
The second official trailer of popular 80s comic and TV toyline has been released. It looks as hokey as we imagined, especially when its directed by Stephen "Van Helsing" Summers. But with added French subtitles, fans of the material will probably find this a good way to spend a couple of hours in the cinema.
Interestingly enough, Aussie actor Sam Worthington was originally signed to start in this flick, until scheduling conflicts with James Cameron's Avatar made it too difficult to go ahead with. Lucky for him, he scored the co-lead in T4 instead - not a bad swap.
