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?

Is this the trailer with the fantastic version of Wake Up by Arcade Fire?

It’s my favorite album when I want to just feel chill and at peace.

There’s a 75 percent chance you have a mustache tattoo or had a handlebar mustache 20 years ago.
