    Highlander: Endgame, original trailer showed the villain, Jacob Kell, as some kind of sorcerer. Suffice it to say, they removed all of the “magic” in the released film. The trailer can still be seen with a quick YouTube search.

    Blade runner (the OG one), kangaroo jack (and a very similar trailer I don’t remember with talking dogs?), Toys (maybe not exactly misleading per se, just chaotic as shit? Lots of hype but you had no clue what you were about to watch?), the village…

    Definitely more, but most of it goes back far enough that I don’t really remember enough specifics to place the shit.

      Kangaroo Jack…I was legitimately outraged when I finally got to watch the movie after seeing trailers

    I didn’t watch the trailers for it, but Click by Adam Sandler was supposedly marketed as another Adam Sandler comedy but was actually tearjerker drama with a medium heavy sprinkle of comedy.

      One of the best Adam Sandler movies. His usual shit got old fast and it’s one of the few actual well written movies with substance he’s done. Funny people was decent too, mostly cuz he basically plays himself and is a sad clown douchebag in his personal life, which I don’t know if is true but I bought it.

        I think it might be my favourite too. it’s between that and Uncut Gems.

        Anger Management with Jack Nicholson was good too.

      Oh yeah. That one caught me off guard as a child. Did not expect to leave that theater crying. 9/10 movie though.

      I’d go so far as saying that Sandler ruined an otherwise decent movie for me. I hate that guy with a passion.

        His only good movie is Uncut Gems. Maybe Hustle.

        Everything else without fail he falls back to his hur-dur retard voice and humour that only a five year old would find funny.

        I get that he has his fans, but they’re the sort of people who talk to each other in Rick and Morty quotes.

        to each his own I guess. He’s not my favourite actor, not even my favourite comedy actor (that goes to the late Robin Williams). But he makes decent movies, especially his old ones. The new ones, especially if produced by his studio Happy Madison, are formulaic and bland.

        Why do you hate him with fiery passion?

          I find his brand of humor crass and cheap. But that’s true about most movies humor from the US.

    Vanilla Sky. I remember the trailers making it seem like it would blow my mind. Was so disappointed when I eventually saw it.

    Iron Man 3.

    Led us to believe Ben Kingsley was going to be a badass villain only to be revealed that he was an actor.

    Kangaroo Jack

    They heavily featured the talking kangaroo that was only part of a short dream sequence in the movie.

    From Dusk Til Dawn. I actually quite enjoyed the unexpected about-face in genre midway through the film, however.

    Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom had a major part of the plot completely left out of the trailer, which I appreciated, but there were multiple suspenseful moments with the resolution in the trailer which was a bummer.

    Man of the Year (2006) looked like it was going to be a lighthearted Dave-esque movie about a comedic everyman president finding common sense solutions through his hijinks. It pivoted pretty quickly.

    Godzilla (2014) The trailer showed it as a Godzilla movie starring Bryan Cranston. Instead Cranston only had a brief cameo at the start of the movie and the whole movie was about a couple MUTO creatures, not Godzilla. Godzilla basically only had a couple cameos in the movie. I think most people who didn’t like it just didn’t like being tricked by the trailer.
