I don't know about other people, but when I see a movie trailer, I can grasp the general feeling of the movie from it. That's kind of the point, to advertise it. Once you've seen enough movies, you can get the idea from the rest of it how it's going to be, that's also the point, unless what was advertised is radically different than what it really is (which does happen, but I doubt is the case with something like this).
There's nothing off base about him judging it based on the trailer, that's the point. You have to see it from the flipside of your argument. Sure, you might only be seeing 1/55th of the movie, but how many movies are so uneven, so different than other parts of itself, that the tone and type of movie it is vastly different from anything you see in any one given part?
If you don't like the 2 minute 30 second trailer, then you probably won't like even more of that, which is the mentality he's going with. He has reasons for why he thinks it too, so it's not even unfounded.
With every movie I've ever hated, no matter what portion or piece I saw, I didn't like it, because the production as a whole was something I didn't enjoy. I don't think trailers are immune to that.
