The Phantom Menace.
Groups of highschool kids flooded into the local computer store to watch the Quicktime .mov load 1 frame at a time over the ISDN line in 1999. And of course the first 20 seconds of the trailer was literally fog, keeping us on the edge of our seats.
Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. Man I love that trailer. I probably watched it like 30 times. It was perfect. Then I saw the movie. And I was sad.
Can’t find it but I was almost positive there was a trailer for 9 set to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRh_koli9E
I was gonna say 9 as well, but I only remember the Coheed and Cambria trailer
Yes, hadn’t even heard of them before that trailer and made that movie seem so awesome.
Flubber 1997 Not because it was such a memorably great trailer, but just because it was so misleading. I don’t want to watch that shitty movie all over again just to verify my claims but what I recall was, there were entire scenes or shots in the trailer that weren’t in the movie at all, and they were kind of the best bits. I definitely expected a lot more crazy hijinks and time spent in the flying car with sentient mischievous green goo then what I remember ending up with. The whole flubber material having some will of its own too I seem to recall was a much less prominent aspect of the movie than was implied, it seemed to be just goo most of the time. So much screen time was spent worrying about the Professor’s marriage and conflict with the University faculty, which was so boring for a kid especially when they marketed it so heavily and I was given to expect so different. Don’t know if I’d have liked the 60’s version better, from what I read and see in the trailer it does look like pretty much the same movie so likely suffered the same issues.
Ghost In The Shell (2017) with the Ki Theory soundtrack.
I love slow remixes of 80s music.
Why don’t they let the people who make the trailers make the movies!
I cannot understate how shit Luc Besson’s Jeanne d’Arc film was. At least, in my memory. I know, I know; everyone’s got an opinion. These are my two cents. This movie really let me down.
The first teaser, which gave absolutely nothing away, was excellent. The cast was solid. I thought, cool, Besson is doing a period piece.
Wow, it was dog shit. Dustin Hoffman’s role helped. But barely.
It was up for international awards. Milla Jovovich went for a Golden Raspberry.
Black Panther Forever. First trailer made it on my music playlist.
A History of Violence. One of the few times I wanted my money back.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Atlas on Netflix. Seemed like a knockoff titanfall type of movie but felt more like a movie filled with the main character talking to the AI suit lost and confused with maybe 10 minutes of what the trailer made it seem like it would be.
