When the Trailer is Better Than the Movie...

[MartyMcFly]

Watching the Irishman and for some reason, Gangster Squad popped in my head. And I remembered how dope that first trailer was with Oh My God playing and the quick cuts, etc. The movie? Meh, a whole bunch of meh and it never lived up to that trailer.

Got me thinking about other flicks that just didn't hit as hard as the trailers.







(Trailer has a premise completely different than the movie)



This one hurts Saw this with Superman Returns and the entire audience was hype. And sold a movie that never happened.

Anyone else got anything to add on?

MoS has one of the best trailers i remember. I love the score, the voice overs and imaginary.

MoS is one of the comicbook worst movies I've ever seen. Its felt like the ppl that created the film hated Superman so made a version that seem cool to them. Thats exactly what happened. Justice League and SS are more enjoyable films. Superman is a better Superman in JL than MoS.

Yeah man just weird how they handled alien 3 from start to finish. But without tit, no Se7en so I guess I gotta be happy about that

The fact that they included a snippet of the scene of Emo Petey and Gwen at the night lounge

I should have known better

Nah there's a way to do that where it comes off dope. They played it for laughs and broad. That entire movie could've been saved with a tonal shift and longer runtime or just being split into two parts.
