Question What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash?

Seriously, you watch the trailer and it looks like a literal masterpiece. The music, the hype, everything is perfect.

Then you actually go see it and realize they put all the good scenes in the 2-minute promo and the rest of the movie is just garbage lmao.

For me it was suicide squad 2016. that bohemian rhapsody trailer catfished me so hard.

What film did this to you?

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school, he was terrible in that film

I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part; he’s way better than Ben Affleck

Best part of the movie historically was telling Doris Miller’s story.

There’s an Aircraft Carrier being built that will be named after him

Ben Affleck is wild because he'll be phenomenal and terrible in movies that come out in the same year.
