I think we all can offer examples of where we were sold bad goods off trailers that looked so much better than the film.

This should be interesting.

My first offering is the Wil Smith/Kevin Klein film Wild Wild West.

Godzilla 1998

After seeing the trailer, I couldn't wait to see that movie in one of the new bigger theaters.

Watchmen.

The "Take a Bow" and "The End is the Beginning is the End" trailers were so good that this movie gets defended to this very day.

Public Enemies was alright but it did not live up to the trailer.

Zack Snyder is the absolute master of this.

He makes GOAT trailers and then the actual movie is something less than desirable to subtly put it.

Maybe I was wrong for thinking The Counsellor (2013) was going to be good after seeing this preview on YouTube?

Most if not all of Snyder’s films.

Definitely TLJ.

The Happening

...the trailer was definitely intriguing, you're thinking, what the hell is going on here? This is gonna be really unique...and Sixth Sensy to the next level.

Well it was unique, uniquely stupid. The answer to the set-up in the trailer is one of the worst reveals ever.
