I'm not talking about giving away major plot points or spoilers, but are trailers so well put together these days that it's hard for the movie to live up to the expectation? I just watched the Bohemian Rhapsody trailer and it looks fantastic, and I got to thinking, can the movie be that good? I mean I still get chills watching The Last Jedi trailer even now knowing that movie was an incredible disappointment for me. To be honest.........The Last Jedi completely ruined trailers for me,
Some trailers look great, and the movie is great; some look great and the movie sucks; and some suck and the movie is awesome. I think I prefer trailers to be "blah", that way I walk in and if it's good, it's a pleasant surprise. If it's bad, well then no harm.
But in all seriousness, I get it. I know that's not how you make money in this industry. You need hype, anticipation, intrigue, positive energy, etc, to draw crowds. I guess I could stop watching trailers altogether, but I don't want to do that.
I love watching movies, but lately, I feel as vulnerable as fawn looking for it's mother on a stormy day. Am I the only one who feels this way?
