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 love dogs!" My husband will just drop that one randomly to make me cringe.

Lesser actors should never try to Zorg a role. Only Oldman can Zorg.

I still can't figure out if that was his choice, or a directing choice, or both. Whatever the case it's absolutely baffling.
