Movie vs. Trailer: 13th Warrior, ROTK

[Bront]

I guess I don't have to say anything about Highlander 2 (WARNING: DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE), trailer looked great but we all know what happened.

I acutaly saw this movie before seeing the first one because of the trailor. For that reason, I thought it was mearly ok at the time.

I thought the trailer for The Fifth Element was awesome. Then I saw the movie.

 

[Wormwood]

The Trailer for Million Dollar Baby made it look like nothing more than a trite boxing movie. I almost missed one of the finest films I've ever seen because of the crap trailer.

Event Horizon.

I went in thinking it was an Alien-type movie, not a Haunted House In Space-type movie.

Unbreakable.

The trailer hammered on the 'Sixth Sense' aspect of it, turning a superhero movie into a supernatural thriller.

Yeah. The problem there was the movie was essentially a comedy, or at least an action-comedy. The trailer didn't indicate that at all.

Very true. I loved the Fifth Element but I guess I was helped by never seeing a trailer for it. Funny, fast-paced action comedy.

 

[Psychic Warrior]

Me too.

Me three! Again Starship Troopers is best watched as an action-comedy. There are so many 'over the top' moments in it it is impossible to take seriously (and it has Doogie Howser in it for gosh's sake!).

 

[Psychic Warrior]

Good, yes, medieval, yes, fantasy, no. Historacle liberties, Quickly learning a language, a bunch of torches, and a poison that kills the next day do not make the movie fantasy.

Quickly? The group was travelling hundreds of miles overland and by ship. I think several weeks were meant to have gone by (as shown in the movie by the montague of Ebin and the norsemen sitting around the fire at night).

 

[Desdichado]

(and it has Doogie Howser in it for gosh's sake!).

In a Nazi Gestapo looking uniform no less. Who can resist that?

I liked Starship Troopers well enough too. Not bad at all. Didn't hurt that it had Dina Meyer topless either.

See you get it!
