everything about this looks on point
its absurd in all the right places, but with modern articulation. this doesnt appear to be one of those cash-grab sequels that ends up sucking donkey balls...
i cant fucking wait.

I'll have to wait and see what Spaceballs 2 looks like.... but are sequels/reboots getting better now? This movie seems perfect, and it feels like a trend.
I also really hope that at least part of the reason Liam Neeson is in this is his name sounds like Leslie Nielsen's.
I mean there’s seriously no way to top the original. Even the 2nd & 3rd ones with Leslie Nielsen weren’t as strong as the first movie. But I’m willing to give this a chance and hope it makes me laugh a few times. I can use it.
I like that they are leveraging Liam’s seriousness in a slapstick movie. It lands well with me, but hopefully it fulfills in execution.
Leslie Nielson was also a serious dramatic actor before Airplane! and Police Squad.
Before the ZAZ movies, Nielson was not only a serious actor, he often played the heavy(!)
Neeson is perfect. His voice in the Lego movie works because of his gravitas. Throw that in with shameless dick jokes and sethmcfarlane...I mean I'm as big of a fan of the original as you can get but this trailer even looks hilarious...and I hate trailers.
33 1/3rd was great
Much better version of the first trailer.
I just hope they didn’t used their best jokes on this trailer.
OJ - Oh, they went there!
I think the worst thing working against the movie is its production value. It looks more like a Bad Boys or 21 Jump Street movie than a Police Squad reboot. With the originals, the camp was the point.

Rewatched the first one last night and laughed out loud so many times - which is not normal for me.
Terrible casting.
Mom can we get some Leslie Nielsen?
Sorry, best I can do is Liam Neeson.
Same initials at least, but Neeson does do comedy, I'll give it a shot
I love his improv
He was also really good on his episode of Derry Girls. If this movie isn't funny, I don't think it'll be his fault.
It’s that serious delivery he does so well lol. This Ted 2 scene was brilliant
This trailer doesn't really have the same vibe as the original. Some funny bits though. Maybe it will be good?
I’m not sure Seth MacFarlane can quite pull off the ZAZ dumb humor, but no one thought of Leslie Nielsen as a comedic actor before Airplane, so I can give Liam Neeson a chance in the role.
I like the jokes they're making, as there seems to be hope that it's a spiritual successor rather than just another sequel/rehash.
One can hope. Loved the originals.
It's nice to see those ridiculous gags, just simple stuff. Old movie before was either catch the joke or miss it. This trailer is pretty basic tho.
I just hope it doesn't get cringe.
That's casting I would least expect.
Nielsen wasn’t considered a comedic actor before his role in Airplane and he was cast because they wanted him to bring the serious, dramatic actor presence/reputation to the role, so it’s worked before
I made it to the part where Liam rips the arms off the bad guy and stopped watching. That's only ten seconds into the trailer!
"I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I'd be approached by somebody - I'm ashamed to say that - and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [uses air quotes with fingers] 'black bastard' would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him." - Liam Nelson
No, no, nononononononono! Leslie Nielsen is the one and only Franck Drebin! Don't do that!
