So I just read this article titled ‘10 Movies You Were Dreading Before You Saw The Trailer’ and boy was it an eye-opener. Firstly, it caught my attention because we’ve all been there. You see a movie trailer and immediately dread watching it because it looks terrible, but sometimes, it turns out to be pretty damn good.
The article highlights ten such movies that we were quick to judge before even giving them a chance. From ‘The Lego Movie’ to ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, these movies had people rolling their eyes before the trailer even finished playing. But once they hit the theatres, they left audiences pleasantly surprised.
The author explains that we shouldn’t always judge a movie by its trailer and how it’s marketed. Sometimes, the trailers do a poor job of showcasing the actual story and depth of the film. It’s important to give these movies a chance and go in with an open mind.
In my experience, I remember watching the trailer for ‘Get Out’ and thinking it was just another generic horror movie. Boy, was I wrong. Jordan Peele knocked it out of the park with that movie, and it quickly became a cultural phenomenon.
Overall, this article serves as a reminder to not always judge a book by its cover, or in this case, a movie by its trailer. It’s important to keep an open mind and not miss out on potentially great films just because the marketing didn’t do it justice.
