Synopsis[]
Trailers are made to get your butt in the theatre seat. Sometimes the trailer was better than the movie all along.
10. The Dark Knight Rises - 2012. The Dark Knight Rises is the best movie on this list. The trailer gave a feeling of unease, fearing for Bruce Wayne's life and sets up a grand finale. The trailers left out a lot of not so great parts. The police are sent into an obvious trap, Bayne robs a stock exchange on live TV, and the final part of the trilogy suddenly doesn't feel like it any more. It has plenty to love, but the hype for it is sometimes better than the thing itself.
9. Rogue One: A Star Wars story - 2016. Isn't it annoying when a trailer shows things that never happens in the movie? Scenes get cut, and get reshot, but not as bad as it Rogue One. Rogue One got some tweaks that changed it quite a bit. The first cut played out very differently. Nick plays 'Spot the things that Disney deleted', and gets cut off.
8. Bumblebee - 2018. Nick is calling this early. The Bumblebee trailer is an absolute lie. It seems like the Iron Giant. Nick doesn't believe that the film won't be anything like the last five movies.
7. The Matrix - Reloaded - 2003. This is one of the most dated trailers of all time. It was a no brainer to give The Matrix a sequel. Reloaded was just confusing. Nick couldn't follow what anyone was trying to say. The action scenes just ended. Why didn't he fly away from the beginning? Nick can understand what it is about now.
6. Godzilla - 2014. Working with American studios, some films can't be as big as they were such as Harry Potter. It didn't work with Godzilla. Nick chooses the 2014 teaser. It had an intense trailer, and looked like they got it right. People go to monster movies for the monsters! The movie cut away from the action every time! Nick is still bitter.
5. Suicide Squad - 2016. Trailers are supposed to be made in the style of the film they are made from. However, Suicide Squad was remade to suit its trailer. It looked like a brown, dark style. Then a trailer was made with Bohemium Rapsedy, and everyone suddenly wanted to see it. The problem was that movie didn't exist! Changing the film to a comedy ruined the film and cost a lot of money! The trailers ruined the real movie! The real cut couldn't be as bad as the final version. Why was the Joker in it for like ten seconds?
4. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - 2013. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty wasn't a bad movie, but the trailer was a masterpiece. Not a single word was spoken. The filmography and soundtrack are phenomenal. You could say that about the movie as well, but there was a lot of filler. Stretching the trailer out to two hours was not as effective.
3. Man of Steel - 2013. Nick still fell for Man of Steel's trailer long after he should have. The film has been beaten down like Metropolis in the film's climax. Man of Steel looked like it was made to be a trailer. The trailer looks like a back to basics and uplifting. Nick wants to believe in the film, but the movie is emotionally distant in the end.
2. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - 1999. For sixteen years there was no film in cinematic history. By today's standards, the teaser for Phantom Menace isn't that great. This trailer made a whole new generation believe in the Star Wars hype again. It also left a dark mark on the film's name. It hit with a nostalgia bomb, and left a lot of questions unanswered. The teaser did include the bit where Jar Jar shocks himself, so we all kind of deserved it.
1.The Last Airbender - 2010. The Last Airbender is one of the most reviled movies ever made. Nick is offended by the earth bending in the film. This movie was so terrible that most people wouldn't remember the teaser trailer. There were some legit martial art scenes shown. Even the fire nation attacking was shown. It looked completely faithful to the cartoon. This is the biggest gap between expectations set, and failed. It turned out to be the biggest dumpster fire of a movie we've ever seen.
11. Literally any Asylum movie with a shark. Any Asylum movie with a shark in it should really be left as a trailer and nothing more. The joke of a multiheaded shark stops being funny after the length of a movie trailer.
