10 Trailers That Should Make You Nervous About 2017's Biggest Movies

3. Justice League - Official Trailer 1

Nit-picking the Justice League trailer isn't a particularly difficult task, given how its two and a half minutes seem to suggest that Warner Bros are yet to learn his lesson from the mistakes of Batman v Superman. It has the look of a big, bloated mess, painted in shades of grey and brown, and there are way too many characters on show. Seriously, even the trailer can't even seem to keep track of them.

Then there's the matter of Cyborg, a character who - as many online commenters have suggested - looks like a badly-rendered PS2 character. And even ignoring the godawful CGI, Cyborg still looks a bit out of place standing next to the rest of the gang (which is really saying something, considering there is a fish man in the team).

The most nerve-racking thing about the Justice League trailer, however, is that it appears to showcase a movie without a story. Honestly, there is not even the slightest hint as to what this behemoth is about in the trailer, save for rounding up a superhero crew and to fight a bunch of faceless flying robot things.

It's one thing to unveil the entire story in a trailer and outright ruin the surprise (Batman v Superman, we're looking at you), but to abstain from showing us even the most basic of plot points suggests the narrative will be lacking.
