The 15 Best Movie Trailers Of 2015

Two minutes. After years of planning and filming, studios only have two minutes to convince audiences that their film is the one worth seeing. Sure, interviews, posters and a little old fashioned thing we like to call "word of mouth" also have their part to play, but trailers will always have the most impact.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a failure on every level, but the blunder that stung comic book fans most was the shockingly poor depiction of Deadpool. The filmmakers literally sewed up the mouth of a character typically known as “The Merc with a Mouth.” It doesn’t get much more painful than that for geeks like us, but fortunately, Fox saw the light of day and decided to rectify their mistakes, giving the fans exactly what they wanted in the form of this Deadpool trailer.

The jury may still be out regarding whether Fox can pull off an entire Deadpool movie successfully, but the marketing campaign up to this point has captured the essence of the character like no other superhero, throwing in Deadpool’s trademark wit and R-Rated shenanigans at every given opportunity.

A few jokes veer towards becoming almost too self-aware, referencing Spider-Man and Reynolds’ Green Lantern travesty with gleeful abandon, but everything from the violence to the hilarious one-liners feels like Deadpool has literally come to life from the pages of the comics.

Let’s just hope the filmmakers don’t become too keen on parodying themselves and resort to stealing his voice away again in an attempt to lampoon X-Men Origins: Wolverine. No one wants that.
