I thought this would look more.....theatrical. Not looking like something you'd see on the Syfy Channel. I have a feeling this is probably intentional. Same with the performances.

It could go either way though I think. I mean when they tried to do an overly glossy and slick Munsters remake we ended up with that crappy Mockingbird Lane show that thankfully wasn't picked up.

It doesn’t even look like that. It looks like he went for artsy colors which is just odd. The Munsters wasn’t known for its bright colors. |

Like they're trying to mimic an old tv series. Even then, the production still looks remarkably cheap and the camerawork looks strange. What's with all the Dutch angles?

I wasn't excited about this when it was announced. After seeing the trailer I'm still not excited.

I don't know if words can describe how this movie looks and I don't mean that in a good way.

WTF? This looks like a 90s Nickelodeon sitcom. Also the guy that's playing Herman sounds nothing like Fred Gwynne's version, they should have just gone with the obvious casting choice (Brad Garret)

It kind of feels like Zombie was told he can only make this if he keeps it PG so he’s trying to make it as unsettling as possible with excessive color and jollity while still keeping the rating technically family-friendly.
That being said, I think it looks interesting. The use of color seems great.

I assume it was done on purpose to have him not sound like Herman Munster, though I don't know why Rob Zombie would do that. Fred Gwynn's acting is what made that show as funny as it is. The actor in the trailer doesn't even do that iconic goofy laugh.

I remember back in the early 2000s when the Wayans were supposedly planning a Munsters movie with John Goodman as Herman. At least Goodman's voice is relatively close to Gwynne's.

Why Rob Zombie's The Munsters Trailer Looks So BadRob Zombie's exaggerated The Munsters trailer is a disappointment, suggesting that the promise of faithfulness may have actually harmed the reboot. screenrant.com/why-munsters-reboot-trailer-looks-bad/"The trailer for Rob Zombie’s The Munsters movie looks bad, and it's a disappointing start for the reboot as it fails to meet expectations of its faithfulness to the original. While director Rob Zombie has been open with audiences during the production process of The Munsters, the trailer gives the first real glimpse of the style and interpretations of the classic characters. With such promising teases through casting announcements, first-look images, and behind-the-scenes videos, Rob Zombie’s The Munsters movie trailer is a surprising disappointment. The Munsters movie’s first official trailer reveals that the feature adaptation of the 1960s TV series will tell Lily and Herman Munster’s love story, with Grandpa seemingly rejecting the pairing. The colorful Munster family is seen going on various adventures alongside familiar characters from the original sitcom, with the end of the trailer showing Lily, Herman, and Grandpa moving into their iconic 1313 Mockingbird Lane house. Notably missing from The Munsters are Eddie and Marilyn, as Zombie's reboot apparently serves as a prequel to the classic TV show. The modern lens of gory horror director Rob Zombie was apt to see a slightly different take on the iconic characters, but what’s most surprising about The Munsters trailer is the perceivably low quality of the presentation. The hope is that the trailer simply does injustice to the real film through poor editing, as Zombie’s previous reveals for the Munsters reboot movie teased an authentic jump back into the eerie atmosphere of the classic sitcom. Unlike the confident ease of the original, Zombie’s The Munsters trailer exhibits a far more exaggerated version of the characters, with the personalities and mannerisms of Sheri Moon Zombie’s Lily Munster and Jeff Daniel Phillips’s Herman Munster failing to recapture the spirit of Yvonne De Carlo and Fred Gwynne’s versions. Even more disappointing is the missing smart satirical gothic sentiment of the original Munsters sitcom, with the exaggerated trailer, whether intentional or not, almost mocking the characters rather than paying tribute. Despite Rob Zombie promising an authentic reboot of the iconic 1960s sitcom, The Munsters' trailer is a significant departure from the tone and style of the original. Perhaps due to Rob Zombie not being experienced in the family-friendly genre, the trailer points at The Munsters movie putting aside its gothic horror mood for a more kitschy interpretation of the characters. The Munsters movie's success requires some nostalgic faithfulness to the original sitcom, but the trailer suggests Zombie may have pushed this sentimentality too far, with the characters almost coming off as a parody of the 1960s Munster family. The only character in Rob Zombie’s The Munsters reboot trailer who seems to accurately recreate the essence of the originals is Dan Roebuck’s Grandpa, whose mannerisms and voice are scarily reminiscent of Al Lewis’s character from the 1960s show. Sadly, the overinflated gestures and idiosyncrasies of Herman and Lily, who are at the center of Zombie’s Munsters movie, appear to be brand new characters altogether. Rob Zombie is notable for his unique style and has come into criticism before due to his divisive interpretations of classic horror IP like Halloween, but The Munsters reboot originally presented a hopeful change of pace as he projected a faithfulness to every aspect of the beloved 1960s sitcom. While the trailer may be a bad development, the hope is that the completed The Munsters movie better lives up to the promising start of Rob Zombie’s reboot project."

Well, it looks like Daniel Roebuck does a passable Al Lewis impression, at least.
