So live action dragonabll trailer

[Jonathan Meer]

Also the claim that you can't judge what a film is going to be like at least to some extent before he comes out is a fallacious one. No, you can't know what it's going to be like, but rough predictions are often true.

Oh really? A fallacy? Which one do you think it is?

There is no logical connection between the validity of a value-judgment made based upon a few screenshots and a trailer. The screenshots and trailer are a very small portion of the actual movie.

In actuality, YOUR argument is a form of the fallacy of composition; that is, the assumption that, because a few of the parts (a very select few, I might add) have a certain property (that is, 'lame-ness'), that the whole will have this property as well. This is certainly not the case, and I'm sure you, a Nintendo-geek, can think of a number of examples of things that, when broken down into their constituent parts, look dumb, but when put together into a grand picture, have a certain quality to it that screams success.

It is important to note that the film will establish a context (or atmosphere, if you will) of its own, within which we can understand the movie. None of us know what the real feel of that atmosphere will be yet, and so none of us can make a value-judgment that will necessarily hold similarity to the final product. If we do happen to be right, it will be a case of coincidence, and not rationality.
