I thought I'd ask, which one has most excited you for the forthcoming film  its promoting and why?

And as a side question I'll ask, what do you think makes for a good movie trailer? What do yo look for in a trailer, be it for movies, television, games, anything? Personally I think that any good trailer should never have to resort to the Moviefone-style voice-over narraion and that a good trailer can be done without that. Maybe it's just me, but I think it makes the product its promoting sound kind of phony and fake. What do you guys think?

I've always thought the most exciting trailers were the ones done similarly to the Tron Legacy trailer - showing something unique and badass from the movie, uninterrupted for a few minutes. The problem is most movies don't really lend themselves to that sort of thing.

Tron Legacy has me interested in actually watching the first movie since I've never seen it.
The Book of Eli looks like an interesting Fallout 3 style movie plus it has Denzel in it so I have to see it.
Alice in Wonderland looks very strange so I'm gonna hold out on that till I see a little more footage.
