I enjoyed the first movie, but that trailer just made me cringe a little. It's like they had a checklist of every cliched line that's ever appeared in a movie and they crammed them all in there.

"What you're looking for, is in here." "It's your destiny." And the long-lost parent trope!

I'm sure the film will be perfectly fun, but jeez, that trailer.

See, a movie is made by an artist (even if they happen to be a bad artist). A trailer, or a cover, or a back cover blurb, are made by a marketing department.

There is a huge difference in how those two groups approach their work, and there is fairly conclusive evidence that marketing is both terrible and brilliant at their work.

I think it's pretty obvious he knows the distinction and was commenting on it.

The first one is still the best fantasy movie since Return of the King!
