What are some trailers that come to mind that make you really anticipate the movie's release... but then you see the movie and it turns out to be a huge disappointment...

The first one that comes to mind for me is Brick Mansions. The trailer made it look like it was going to be the big action-packed summer hit of 2014... yet it turned out to be absolute crap.

I feel like Prometheus was another movie that fits into this topic too.

first movie I thought of, although I didn't think Prometheus was terrible, but it definitely didn't live up the hype that I created in my head after the trailer

First two that come to mind are movies that I still liked, but were no where near as good as their trailers...and they are both Zack Snyder movies.

Man of Steel

Watchmen

Another movie that comes to mind too is Super 8.

J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg produced.

Not terrible, but I guess I had higher expectations for it when the trailer came out, I should see it again though its been years.

The Last Airbender for sure. The teaser looked amazing. It had a scene that was better than any in the movie. What were they thinking not putting this in the film: LINK

I agree, I had never seen a movie Tom Hanks was in that I didn't like until this.

I remember this Terminator Salvation trailer and thinking how awesome the movie would be:

It wasn't a terrible movie, but I was definitely disappointed.
