Some people watch the Super Bowl for the football, some people watch for the halftime show, and some people even watch just for the commercials (gotta see what new innovations are coming to Doritos this year), but plenty of people just tune in for a specific kind of commercial: movie trailers. Nerds of a certain age remember exactly how hyped they were when they first saw the Matrix Reloaded trailer during the Super Bowl in 2003, and we’re all still trying to chase that high.

This year’s Super Bowl trailers aren’t as life-changing as The Matrix Reloaded, but at least we finally got a look at the new Deadpool movie (not to mention its new full title, Deadpool & Wolverine). And here they all are, conveniently arranged in this slideshow from worst to best.

Has anyone ever really wondered how the alien invasion from the Quiet Place movies began? They kind of addressed it in the originals, but this new prequel is all about those first few hours when people realized that the monsters were drawn to sound and that they would have to turn the world into a quieter place if they wanted to survive. The big draw here seems to be the scale and spectacle of it, with tons of creatures rampaging through New York City, but it’s not necessarily dramatic enough to make a huge Super Bowl impact.
