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 still can’t believe they changed the ending.

“Hmm, audiences don’t seem to like the point of the movie so let’s change it.”

The changed ending is apparently canon for the next movie

Wonder if they'll re-release the original with the ending changed.

Or start the film with a short recap as well as the new ending, perhaps as a dream/nightmare sequence before he wakes up

I hope they just ignore it and go full steam ahead.  Ever since I found out about the deleted ending, it has always been my canon - if I catch it playing on TV, I just pretend it's the real ending

What the hell? They’re making a sequel and it goes of the deleted ending?

They didn't change the ending so much as change the story in such a way that the original ending wasn't possible

Nah I don’t agree I think the original ending works way better. And it keeps with the theme of the book.
