Terminator 3: trailer was better. Movie wasn't awful, but wasn't as good as T1 or 2.
Blade Trinity
Superman Returns
Batman Forever/Batman And Robin
Conan the Destroyer sorry Ahnold but the first was way better
Time Rider
Star trek Generations
Thunderbirds but I partially blame that on nostalgia. The original show was the future as I remembered it. Turning Brains's stammer into Porky Pig's was a huge misstep.

- Hellboy 2: the Golden Army, I saw the trailer and was excited, but was grateful I waited till DVD when I actually saw it. The villain was so much fail..hey Im taking my sister hostage...but if I kill her I die too.(which was a twist I easily saw coming that the twins were connected.) If I was Hellboy I'd just grabbed her and started pounding her face since she wouldn't fight back and would end up doing the same thing anyways. Honorable..no..but she was going take the lumps either way.
- Alien Vs Predator, the trailer basically was a highlight reel of all movies best moments.

Undercover Brother,

Only good SNL movie was Coneheads.
I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

-TF2 was one of the best trailers ever leading into one of the most disappointing movies ever.
-TF3's trailer was pretty good and possibly better than the movie, the movie was better than 2, not as good as 1.
-Burn After Reading, but that's more an example of this
-Green Lantern, yeah... ... ...
-And I agree about Hellboy 2: nice trailer, boring movie.

Highlander Endgame is proof that sloppy editing will kill a movie worse then acting and scripting. Last I checked there were 3 versions, theatrical, cable and DVD all with different editing/scenes, etc. |

Isn't every trailer (practically every, anyway) better than the movie? I think the more interesting list would be movies that rocked despite having gawdawful trailers...
Forgot to add the Green Hornet to this list
Superman Returns.
Trailer was epic. Brando's brilliant speech about "They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be." With John Williams masterpiece building momentum the whole time. When we see Supe's hovering high above the Earth, his cape nearly motionless...
Gave me chills!
Such a shame the movie was... Well, that's well documented by now.

Trailers are of course constructed to make any dog of a movie look better, so I always take them with a grain of salt; when I see them and still think 'meh', I get reeeeally suspicious about the film. 
What gets me are trailers that try to make a film look epic by spoiling parts of the film. I recall seeing the ad on tv for Star Trek III that had this wonderful line, "Be here for the final voyage of the starship Enterprise!" over footage of the saucer section going boom and the ship dropping from orbit... I was hanging out with a friend when we saw that, a huge Trek nerd friend. He slumped to the floor.

For my pick I would like to nominate The Men who Stare at Goats. I thought this would be an amusing movie. Alas, I was proven wrong.
Devs would post more if they could say "hi!" without people whining because they wanted them to say "hello".

Cloverfield: While the movie wasn't half-bad, the trailer was one of the best I've ever seen. Upon seeing the opening of it, my family groaned; for we thought it was just another teen movie. Once **** went down though, and the trailer ended, there was an audible "whaaaat was that?" from more than one person in the audience. It didn't help that I spent a good portion of the film (Transformers) wondering what the trailer was about.
Also, it started the entire Cloverfield ARG, which was one of the funnest things I've done in a while.

I fully agree. I dragged my wife to see it in the theater while we were on vacation and could have been doing any number of fun and/or naughty things instead of seeing that movie. I've since kept a lot of my geeky interests to myself.

Bridge to Teribithia. Thought it had a similar story to Narnia where some kids enter a fantasy world, but it was just a bunch of kids imagining their own world. Still a good movie, but my expectations of the movie were messed up because of it.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
Cursed, with Christina Ricci. As near as I can tell, the trailer was made from an early version of the film, and then most of it was reshot, since most of the trailer footage was so different from the movie.
Both sucked, so no need to watch in either case.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Have you ever been sold on a movie based on the trailer only to find the trailer was actually better than the movie?
