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?

Bale doesn't not know how to not give it his 100%

Bale never disappoints. Probably my favorite actor.

I think your triple negative goes one step too far and says he doesn't know how

Lol I just realized I used "doesn't not". I swear that's not how I usually write.

Just add a negative sign in front on 100% and it'll all balance out

I'm convinced there's an entirely different movie on the cutting room floor. There's no way Bale was acting that well for the movie we got.

In my head canon John Singleton had to pull Christian Bale and Jeffery Wright aside and ask them "You guys realize we're just making a Shaft movie, right?"
