re: Movie trailers that were awesome but the movie sucked

I thought this trailer was edited very well. Movie was ehhh.

Vantage Point

I remember seeing this and thinking "Awesome!"

And then the movie was just terrible

Godzilla teaser

Didn't I specifically tell you not to watch it?

Or was that someone else..?

I've heard this one sucks. I've owned it for years, and still have yet to watch it. But you're right, the trailer was pretty cool.

Its in my bottom five. Just an absolute clusterfrick of a film that can send me into a rage pretty instantly. There is absolutely nothing in this film that makes any damn sense, and every character action is so stupid, I have a hard time fathoming that someone over 5 years old wrote this script.

2 pages through and no one else has mentioned the stinkfest that was Drive?!

I remember seeing the trailer though and thinking it looked like a pretty decent action flick rather than the snoozefest that it ended up being!

Maybe because Drive is an actual great film for starters?

As for my submission and the one I think sets the bar: The Last Airbender. Pretty damn awesome where I think everyone was looking forward to this scene. The ironic thing is nothing from the teaser made it into the film, so the best part of the film wasn't even there. LINK

Someone else. We talked about it very briefly in another thread last week after I watched it

holy crap, 10000 BC has an 8% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 144 reviews

that thing must REALLY suck

Proof of life, thought the movie would've all action, I was safely mistaken

Pretty much any comedy that ends up getting awful reviews would fall into this category. I hate when they put all the best parts in the trailer. Especially if the punch line of a joke gets used. It takes away from it when you finally see the movie.
