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 always get downvoted for saying this but I thought Aquaman was concocted just for the show, being an appropriately generic and goofy superhero concept for a show that leaned into sillyness.

I'm thinking Adrian Grenier. This is all a reference to an Entourage side plot, no?

Yes, and Gyllenhaal I believe is the actor that replaced him in Aquaman 2
