All the usual features plus more style than most sites on this week's list.
A lot more style than most documentary sites and equal parts information on the movie and information on how to be more environmentally sound.
All of the basics and more style than most sites on this week's list.
Even more clips were added to the site lifting the total to more than a dozen.
The restricted trailer was added to the site, but I'm still not sold on the project.
The placeholder site is up, but everything but the synopsis and the trailer are marked coming soon.
Simply site with just the basics, (minus a photo gallery), and a poll as the only extras.
No real changes for a while. The site is better than average, but doesn't do enough to stand out.
Good content, bad style. I do like the number of clips on the site.
Just the synopsis, gallery, and trailer so far.
Just the basics, in fact, the only a cast & crew list with no bios. Also, for a movie called Great World of Sound, the site is strangely silent.
A lot of content, including a store and some trivia. However, there's not a whole lot of style here and it doesn't seem very polished.
New look, but just the basics in terms of content and very little in the way of style.
The full site launched this week, but it is just the basics with little in the way of style and nothing that makes it stand out.
The next video talks about the reunion of the cast and crew. It doesn't go into details on the new movie, but it is still fun to see.
A very disappointing site with nothing to make it stand out, at least nothing positive.
The trailer was added this week and it helped improved the film's potential in my mind. I'm not sold, but I'm more receptive than before.
More style than most documentary sites get, but not enough to stand out above the crowd, at least it wouldn't be if this was even an average week.
Some new features were added this week, including section for each of the main characters that include some background information as well as video clips.
Just the trailer, which doesn't sell the movie very well.
Just the trailer so far.
New look and a short intro, but no new content.
Just the teaser trailer, which was too much teaser and not enough trailer. It might be a good movie, but there's no way to tell with what we are given.
A lot of content here and more style than most documentary sites have, but not enough to stand out.
Some more videos were added to the site, including a music video.
Another site with all the usual content but little in the way of style. Possibly the most impressive part of the site is the huge stack of awards listed.
Typical documentary site without enough to make it stand out.
The regular features are now on the site.
Just two words, "coming soon."
The full site is up and it has the basics, but that's all. The trailer is there, but it is not as effective as I had hoped. I'm not writing of the movie, but I need more to be sold.
Just the basics with no sense of style and a trailer that hurts the film, not sell it.
Outside the restricted area, there's almost no content. Normally I would consider this a huge mistake, but it seems to have done well at the box office this weekend, so no one is complaining.
Just the trailer, which left me cold.
