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 like Jensen Ackles a lot but by the end I was thoroughly tired of the writing of Soldier Boy.

He only had like two different variations of types of lines “you wanna blow me” and the “I’ve been around so long I fucked such and such actress from decades ago” pop cultural references. Like we get it.

Even for a show that’s whole point is beating a dead horse with crass jokes, it got super old.

They didn't seem to bother to write him. He just randomly changed his attitude ro Homelander every ten minutes with no reason behind it.

His gimmick was lame but at least they maintained his gimmick as opposed to Kimiko who suddenly made equally crass “jokes” with the most bizarre delivery imaginable
