No thanks. Haven't you seen their last cinematic masterpiece?

Yeah... This concerns me the most. Apologies here, but western marketing often feel the need to overlay words across the trailer whether written or spoken, it's just cringe worthy. Let the visuals and music speak for itself.
I was looking around for a decent trailer for
Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but I couldn't find one where the music and visuals are well just left to speak for themselves. Instead we are treated with meaningless cliches:
"Land of eternal beauty and infinite mystery."
"A legend was born"
" A warrior"
"The woman he loved"
"A daring outlaw"
The cliches just don't end.. so painful. The music the trailer used is some generic Asian type music not even featured in the movie. The music from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon by Tan Dun is just so profound and moving much like Shenmue's amazing soundtrack.
If Deep Silver go with something similar as to Mighty Number 9. I'm sure plenty of people will be turned away from all the cheesiness and start judging it as something they don't need to play as some B-Grade Hong Kong action flick.
I would say DreamcastersTube cuts are my preferred trailer type (minus the rather annoying introduction s/he puts in)
I suppose if you put Morning Fog's Wave with any Shenmue footage is going to be pretty special.
