The 2014 Super Bowl Movie Ads

Explosions, superheroes, Muppets, and the Bible…hooray, kinda!

Remember the good ole’ days of Super Bowl movie trailers (~15 years ago) when there were only 2-4 of them and they were completely jaw-dropping?  Armageddon and The Mask of Zorro in 1998, The Mummy and The Matrix in 1999, Gladiator in 2000.  Nowadays, the internet is set ablaze with news of movie trailers set to premiere during the big game (with some premiering online before the game).  Super Bowl movie ads just don’t have the ‘wow’-factor they used to. This year, more than eight movies had their trailers broadcast during the commercial breaks.  It was mostly a visual feast of action/adventure fare, and most were new, aside from a few including 3 Days to Kill and Monument’s Men (which has too many ads playing currently).  So, here are the cream of the crop:

Transformers: Age of Extinction
No Shia? I’m game!  No, seriously, we’re all fairly confident that this movie has little chance of being any better than the previous three crap-fests.  That being said, Optimus Prime riding a robo-dinosaur? Again, I’m game!
