| Which Previews were Better than the Actual Movies? |
|
I like to think I'm pretty good at picking out the movies I'll like based on the previews.
I was SO wrong about GARDEN STATE.
I think the GARDEN STATE previews were so much better than the actual movie.
Sort of makes sense since the best part of the movie were images that didn't amount to a meaningful story, but were useful for previews.

| 8. If only he died after the first few Star Wars movies |
|
He'd be remembered as a genius with amazing potential, rather than someone on a long slow descent.

I LOVE Jude Law, and I enjoyed the movie, but it was more of a silly kids movie than the cool sci-fi story the previews looked like.

When the preview had a slow motion, completely silent, super close-up of Slyvester Stallone's face, everyone in the theater burst out laughing at him--for several seconds. Hilarious! :7

| 11. Any preview where they expose the entire plot, |
|
you just know the movie has to suck. Recent example: Christmas with the Kranks.

| 12. all those Police Squad movies... and... |
|
Those Police Squad movies with Leslie Nielson had all the silly jokes in the previews, which ruins them for the actual movie. Too bad, it was a great TV show, too.
a horror movie called "The Relic" looked great in preview and pretty intense, but was actually pretty poor on the screen.

| 14. All of them. A lot of really good movies don't even have previews. |
