As well as offering the usual amount of humour, it seems that this new Dreamwork marks the occasion of paying tribute to fantasy films of the 21st century. First of all by creating very similar heroes to those from bis cinema of the 50’s, such as The creature from the black Lagoon, the Blob or Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. And secondly throughout scenes of the trailer, which remind us of fairly recent blockbusters such as Lord of the Rings (Eye of Sauron), Transformers, Independence Day, and many more… Will you be able to recognize them in the trailer?

What a nice way to pay tribute to the most famous mythomaniac of all screens.
