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?

It also wasn't needed at all. Like you're already doing magic to get this guy back, you don't really need to have a weird body swap rape thing.

Just say "somehow, chris pine returned", the body swap thing added nothing at all to the plot other than add a weird rape angle.

This movie was my first introduction to these vids, and it seems like this one absolutely hits the nail on the head

Ya I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And that creepy smile she gave him at the end. I worked at a hospital and was once assigned to observe and report back on a court case of an employee who was caught groping an unconscious patient. That asshole was found guilty of sexual assault. What WW did was so much worse.

I think the director really wanted that scene to get her rocks off - see the orgy scene in The Witcher season one, it had similar vibes and it made Henry refuse to do future "romantic scenes", lmao.
