10 Best Trailers Of 2013 So Far

9. Man Of Steel

Man_of_Steel_38071 This Man of Steel trailer offers one of the most cliché messages we've heard since the Disney Channel days: dare to be different, oh, but what if people judge you harshly, so on and so forth. What makes this trailer send shivers, though, is that the message is somehow, for once, convincing. This classic story of the outcast making it big is, well, suitably classic in its application; what better story than that of the timeless Superman to pass along this similarly timeless tale? The emotional and interpersonal weight of the trailer is also what makes it stand out from the crowd of action, thriller, and superhero movies coming at us like rapidfire. Instead of devoting the trailer's primary focus to the movie's ridiculously many and overblown action sequences, as many trailers of movies in this genre tend to do, ultimately leading to bad reviews for having revealed all their tricks to audiences ahead of time, Man of Steel's trailer (not so much the matted mess of fight scenes that makes up Man of Steel itself) focuses on the core essence and social aspects of the superhero. Finally, a superhero movie trailer where the punches are somewhat emotional rather than solely physical!
