For a lot of folks, the Super Bowl is more about the commercials in between plays than it is about the actual pro football going down. For movie buffs, the best commercials are always for new movies, usually summer blockbusters. Recently, these commercials have transformed into full-blown trailers, revealing new and exclusive footage deserving of the hype Super Sunday brings with everything else.
