Here’s another one for horror or suspense movies... when the music stops and all you hear is them breathing.
and then the boring jumpscare that you expect happens
Grizzly ER Or doesn’t and you get a scene where they’re plunging into a body of water.
ikr
The only time where jumpscares work is in bo2 zombies
Or they raise the suspense music on purpose because of jump scares.
The worse thing is probably when the trailer is better than the actual movie
Terminator 3
@@rinraiden The Terminator 3 trailer was an AMAZING short film. The movie itself? Not so great.
The movie Over The Top, the video for the movie's theme song was WAY better than the movie.
The A-team when BA is whistling the original theme song, I was so disappointed when they changed it in the movie.
iron man 3 trailer, suicide squad
The fact that this video, which is 5 years old, is still applicable for current trailers is saddening.
It's only 5 years
It's not like it's from another age or anything
now he can add the teenage girl s l o w l y singing a s l o w cover of a popular song
Wait this thing didn't come out this week? Guess its just being favored by the algorithm now for some reason. Hey I'm not complaining, I'm already really interested.
5 years is nothing on the cosmic scale
My friend avoided all trailers for Endgame to see the movie without knowing the plot. We finally make it into the theater to see the culmination of ten years of Marvel films. And what do they play before Endgame? The trailer to Endgame, obviously.
My partner and I have a subscription to the local screening room. We spent many a trailer reel with eyes closed and fingers in ears.
@Jeremiah Elijah A stupid-ass one.
Playing the trailer right before the movie? Who's the idiot?
I feel bad 😂
It was better when we went to watch Black Panther and a trailer of Infinity War told us that the protagonist would survive the film.
The “pause for comedy” is now used in like every genre of movie, ranging to action, romance and etc
I especially hate when they add the *SLAM* sound effect, play the character saying the punchline, and then continue playing the loud music. I make fun of that trailer trope so much
1 thousandth like :D
so satisfying
Aditya Roy the action movie trailers mostly just have a bunch of shit happening with fades to black and then the music stops and it ends with a joke.
especially with the marvel movies
@@420speedweed Marvel movies have the comedy after the title reveal at the end. Everytime. Always the same, never change
Don't forget the depressing version of a popular pop/rock song.
YES!
Yep!
"IN A WORLD-" *cue 'Happy Birthday' in B flat minor* "-WHERE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO MICHELLE WILLIAMS..."
I kinda like it when they give a dark spin to a song. US did it right (probably because they also used the song itself in the movie).
I was just talking about this with my mother we both despise this trend especially if they take an upbeat song and drag it out to distort it and make it more dark and sinister for a psychotic character in the preview. It’s so fucking lame
I hate when all the jokes are shoved in the trailer and the movie actaully ismt good or the jokes are less funny now that youre watching the movie
aquamarine ancient soul YUP
That describes me and Shazam.. trailers were.hilarious and looked good, but then the real movie was so bland with very little funny stuff I hadn't already seen
Yeahh kinda had this experience with Good Boys last night
Xavier Uribe that happen to you too
Exactly! The only reason they do it, Is to get people to see how funny it is, but it still spoils it. I wish we could get a solution for this. How to get people into a movie, without showing it's best qualities.
Imagine a trailer for Star Wars, in which Darth Vader says "I am your father" and you see the reaction of Luke. That's what modern trailers are...
The Terminator 2 trailer spoiled that Arnold was the good guy.
If you watch the movie, Arnold still looks like he's about to shoot the kid in the face with a shotgun, until he says "get down". Why would you spoil that awesome moment?
Hell, that ruined the movie and series for me and that was the movie. How are you supposed to cheer for the Arch-villain? (And don't say "oh but the Emperor is the arch-villain." The Emperor was only a glimmer in the movie at that point.)
@@indy_go_blue6048 When I first saw that part, it never made me cheer for Vader... which I think is the point. The point was to have you feel Luke's torment... this man who he hates, despises even... is his own father? And he had been made to believe that his father - who he had never met and had actually been hidden from - was dead (his "aunt" and "uncle" stated that he died in an accident, while Obi-Wan states that Vader killed his father). Actually, learning about Anakin/Vader and his fall allowed Luke to face him again - this time, with love.
Yeah lol
🤣👌
I don’t even remember the last time there was a third party voice over in a movie trailer. Now it’s just dialogue from the movie
They use them for movies that aren't in English but they don't want you to know that they aren't in English like Pans Labyrinth.
also the TUDUMMM or BWAAAAA sound
yooo We Die Young in 2019 literally used it 💀
@@ФрангоФрангвски I'm now imagining replacing movie trailer "BWAAA" with Hank Hill "BWAAA"
A friend of mine went to see “Avengers Endgame” pretty late. They put the last trailer of “Spiderman: Far From Home” before the movie, you know the one that tells you what happens at the end of Endgame…
I watched endgame the first day it came out here. So I never thought about the far from home trailer spoiler. What a mistake now that I think about it.
Cool. Nice. Thanks, Marvel.
To be fair though, if you keep up the slightest bit with marvel news, you had to know there was a spiderman 2 and guardians of the galaxy 3 already announced.
thats weird. luckily i went to my local amc and they actually showed this clip where tom holland tells the viewer the stick around b/c the far from home trailer was gonna play after the movie
wtf is that? i would make them to pay me off for that...
@@THEPELADOMASTER it was sonys idea to publish the trailer early
It's been five years. Nothing has changed.
Billyjoe Jenkins well what do you expect their not even producing new movies just adding sequels to good ones, remaking great ones(piss-poorly), and using nostalgia like pumpkin spice! I'm surprised they don't just release the original trailers and then surprise us with the revised version they made, at least it would have novelty.
Honking Honker That’s a fair assessment.
I agree honking
Good.
(Insert Avengers Endgame theme music) im sorry, i had to XD
This is 5 years old an still 10000000% relevant.
true
Not really
@@Qlairvoyant
Only in the sense that 100% is the maximum amount anything can be.
I understand the want to emphasize things by making the number higher, but nothing is higher than 100%. 100% is the maximum percentage.
Other than that, it totally IS still relevant.
RichieNicksMusic
Not really
RichieNicksMusic you replied to me first but ok
The fact that this is in my feed five years after this was uploaded tells me things are only gonna get worse. I'm scared.
It hasn't changed in decades, ain't gonna change now
I hadn’t noticed this was uploaded five years ago!
chris and tenet got your back
Me Too Bro
What about the constant fading to black. Movie trailer editors have seemed to have forgotten how to do transitions without dipping completely to black.
I honestly think they could cut the run-time of the trailers down by almost half if then just didn't cut to black and linger there.
That’s an excuse to make the trailers longer lol
That's my number one pet peeve regarding trailers. It happens so often I'm surprised it wasn't included here.
That or constant flashing black with synched music, happens a lot in action films.
Hollywood is a copycat business. No doubt that effect was used in a trailer and worked well, so everyone copies it now!
Nothing has been the same since the "In A World" guy passed away.
What's that supposed to mean? You want the cheesy "In a world" line back?
@@TheTrueSpottedStripe In an Age where In a World is Out of Style...
"In a world without the man who says 'in a world...'"
Guy is a legend. :(
check out the movie called "In a world" - it's pretty great.
In a world where nobody knows how to make movie trailers...
But there was something they didn't count on...
layicorn lol
One man...is about to change....everything
*Bwaaaaaaam*
**cut to man standing in front of very large creature, robot, monster, etc**
They THOUGHT movie trailers were better than years past. They THOUGHT people had learned BUT they were wrong . . . deadly wrong
dont forget the monologue separated by high piano notes
seriously !
Hey mang, how's it swimmin'?
Sharky McShark its been good fam.
Examples?
The new Star Wars, Warcraft movie, Age of Ultron, the list goes on....
It's so weird that growing up with these cliches, I thought these were THE rules of filmmaking.
Thats actually really depressing
It's like they train people to do the thing because it works, not to think about WHY it worked or HOW it worked. So now everyone just does the same without thinking.
M a l u z i n h a h blame the consumer not the studios cause the movies that don’t use these cliches and corny trailers don’t make money
@@lukeecom It's not like that, it's more like "well I'm gaining money as it is so it's safe to keep doing it"
M a l u z i n h a h that’s pretty much what I stated but more to it. They keep doing it cause it makes money cause other trailers didn’t catch attention* there’s a method to there madness it doesn’t work by random is what I was trying to say
I still think the trailer to Alien was the best trailer I have ever seen. The trailer had no dialog, it had blinks of clips just to let you know where it is and when it is. Back then, nothing else did that and it felt alien to us. Then we saw the tag line "In space, no one can hear you scream" it was all we needed to know about that movie.
Have you ever seen Brigsby Bear? It's a great film, but watching the trailer you have no idea what the film is actually about. The plot of the film is pretty much completely left out, so when you actually get around to watching it, you're still completely blind as to what will happen apart from the fact that the main character has an obsession with Brigsby. It's just enough to peak your interest without spoiling the movie.
ruclips.net/video/_YE0NNaVHZc/видео.html
My favourite trailers: the handmaiden, climax, and the girl with a dragon tattoo (immigrant song one)
Agreed.
Sometimes trailers look better than actual movies. What a sad life
THEY ALWAYS LOOK BETTER WDYM
@@robertli3600 You clearly haven't seen any good movies then
did you mean: Suicide Squad?
That is so true
2019 = Not one single improvement has been made to today’s trailer.
Joker says: “Hi”
Actually I think that they were some pretty good trailer over the last couple of years
Watch Joker
Gamer King I didn’t mean that recent trailers were bad as in they’re not entertaining, I just simply agree with what this video is saying about most movie trailers and I feel even in 2019 there hasn’t been much change.
Maus I saw both trailers and heard/read about the 8 minute standing ovation that happened at Cannes before I saw this video and I want that movie to be great when I watch it.
Don't forget: horror movie trailers showing night vision footage of people at the screening, acting like they've never seen a horror movie before
lol yep ...I'm like who gets scared anymore with those movies .... last movie that gave me the creeps was the ring ...after that I gave yet to see one that doesn't try to jump scare me
+182punkbunny I had a similar experience with The Ring, except it was at home. Funny how a PG-13-rated film like that can scare me more than a lot of the R-rated ones. I guess Asian horror films do such a better job at being scary now, even their typically toned down western adaptations do a better job of it than most of America's modern horror films.
***** if you want to talk about a good Asian flick check out "audition"... it's not gory but the crazy chick thing is creepy ... and another that is horror and mystery is "perfect blue" .... first one is live action and 2ND is anime
182punkbunny I have Perfect Blue (weird as fuck stalker anime) on DVD and I've seen parts of Audition. I think I'm getting used to reading subtitles (although I still hate it) so I might give Audition another shot. I was able to go all the way through A Tale of Two Sisters and I think Love My Life so this shouldn't be so hard. Thanks for the suggestions by the way.
A couple of my favorite Asian horror films are Shutter and Tale of Two Sisters... both were already remade for US audiences, so avoid those because they were not good.
Shutter has the typical creepy long haired dead girl with some solid twists and amazing scares.
Tale of Two sisters is a mix between a typical ghost story and a psychological thriller. You need to have some patience though for the film to build upon itself.
Audition and Pulse are of course solid too, but not my favorites. Audition is very difficult to sit through and Pulse is a little hard to follow.
A fun short from anthology Phobia 2 is the segment "In the End". You should be able to find a decent English subbed video online for free somewhere. It's by the same people that did Shutter, so the scares are solid but it is mostly a comedy that you could enjoy on the same level as Cabin in The Woods.
I'm just glad to see someone else has noticed the annoying yet ever-ubiquitous, "BRAAAMMM"s and "VOOOOOO"s
I can't watch them without laughing.
Cue the hard baaam!!!! With tons of bass for dramatic effect.
Wwwwaaaaaahhhhhhhmmmmmmm
Oh god, the fucking bass-drops *DOOOOOOO* - I always loudly imitate those when I'm watching a preview in a theater. It usually drops to silence right after, so if you time it right, you can get a good laugh from the audience.
I actually love the BRAAAAM sound effect, if we're going to get into annoying sound effects though once you notice the Wilhelm scream it gets really super annoying and impossible not to notice and it's in EVEYTHING!!!!
*The one thing they didn’t count on* is this popping up on our recommended 5 years later
Lmao
Here I am 🙈😂
Hahahahaha
Not funny.
"The director of Terminator Salvation didn't want the audience to know Sam Worthington is a Terminator"
But at least the trailer people for Terminator Genysis learned from the mistake and... oh. wait. They did the exact. Same. Thing.
yeah... history repeats, huh?
I think the trailer for terminatro 2 war spolierish also.
Amen. I was so pissed off when I saw the trailer. The movie's (lack of) quality notwithstanding, the cardinal rule of trailers should be "DO NOT give away the movie's biggest plot twist".
Just imagine if they just hinted at someone is a secret Terminator. Know how much more it would have more money and be a little better?
@minski76 :
They actually did way worse than that, they actually showed John Connor as a half human, half Terminator, (Morphing) on the frickin' POSTER for the movie. Imagine seeing that shit, as you walk into the theatre, to see the movie, that you had been looking forward to, and PAID FOR?
Un-fucking-believable, but sadly, it's the truth.
Smh, and laughing my ass off, at the same time. Thank God I didn't see anything like that, cos I watched it at home, lol. 😂😂😂
Source: Fact Fiend With Karl Smallwood, he talked about it, in one of his videos. (He's here on YT, check him out, he has lots of cool/interesting/funny videos.)
It's kind of heart breaking when a movie you've been waiting to see spoils it's self..
Ima late to the party, but the biggest problem is the trailer is made by the studio, not the director
this is a point made in the video at 1:53 onwards
Does that mean I can't express my own opinion?
@@ainternet239 I was just expressing my opinion, which is also a fact ;o)
Yeah, they pay for it so they think they can do whatever, but they ruin sooo much.
It would be so cool if the trailer was made by the director. Imagine if the Children of Men trailer was made by Alfonso Cuaron.
comedy movie trailer: guy gets hit in the balls
cut to people in an entirely different scene cringing at it and saying "ooooh that's gotta hurt"
Damn, that's accurate
Yooo! I've been seeing trailers for so long I can hear the audio cuts that makes sentences for people to watch it.
Character: if I ~ don't stop hIM ~ DARRKNESS wiLl come...
If there's a movie I want to see, I will go out of my way to avoid watching the trailer.
Me too.
I literally walked out of the theater 7 different times every time the trailer for HTTYD 3 was shown so I wouldn't get spoiled!
That feeling when you're in the theater and the trailer for the movie that you try to avoid watching trailers comes on.
@Starscream91 is your head empty or something? Most of the times the directors aren't even ivolved in the making of their trailers. So there are gonna be spoiler stuff in there without their permission.
@Starscream91 it'a right in the video what are you talking about
What about the overused saying "how far would you go?"
+You PC Bro? Tráilers in a nutshell
... for a KLONDIKE bar?
Or...."Everything you were ever told, was a lie" this is also very over used.
In a world where you wouldn't go as far, the one thing you wouldn't count on is the only hope you have.
Watch the trailer for the 1980s ghost buster. They basically narrate the entire movie. It's hilariously straight forward compared to today. It's like "here is what happens in this movie.(insert cliff notes), if you want to see that, come back here in 7 months."
This is possibly everything summed up in why I don't watch trailers anymore. I can't trust the cinemas to keep the film a surprise anymore, so I show up to them like, 15-20 minutes later than the showing time they display.
Same here.
Don't you end up with shitting seats, though?
Chris Kotsopoulos Yeah but at some you can reserve your seats.
2019 and the inception's horns are present on every single trailer
Joker!?
Its 2059, the permanent sound of inception horns has not ceased in over two decades. It is the only sound that still exists. Its echoes blast from every speaker across the planet. There is no escape. The horns have killed all vegetation. The end is near. May god have mercy on man and machine for their sins.
BLAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHH!
But what is the problem with the horn?
aaaand in every video game trailer
Some trivia; trailers are called that because they were originally shown after the feature. You might have gotten a cartoon or even a newreel at the beginning.
That sounds like a much nicer experience tbh
They've released some Dvds that have a "Night at the Movies" feature where you get some of that like a movie ad, a cartoon short and a short newsreel before the movie. My family recently saw one like that of Errol Flynn's "Captain Blood", Great movie, and having the rest before it just made it a great experience as well.
B...but the strobe light effect in horror movie trailers were meant to appeal to the horror for epileptic people!
The new Joaquin Phoenix Joker trailers are masterpieces. That's how you make a damn trailer.
Can’t wait for joker to become the next dark knight, and movie people intensely circlejerk about being the best thing ever
@@user-rj4pq7lm1n amen
@Kai McCook It's now the top rated film on IMDB holy shit
@Kai McCook I think those people just haven't seen great trailers.
I wasn't really sold on the movie by the trailers tbh. A friend convinced me to go watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's the "we live in a society" but with the "cool edgyness" turned down a bit. Just a bit.
@@user-rj4pq7lm1n not anymore. It's still high up though.
This video should be REQUIRED viewing by the people who make movie trailers. I'm tired of seeing trailers that reveal too much. Amazon Prime is guilty of this as well. I look for something to watch and will click on a trailer (if available). Too often, it shows how the protagonists triumph. That doesn't build excitement. It just shows that now I don't have to watch the movie.
I second that. Damn trailers leave scraps few and far between after the best scenes get spoiled 😒
I hate the violin strings for a cheep jump scare before the horror movie even starts
Thats actually somewhat good jumpscare itself.
Bad jumpscare just happens, while good jumpscare is scary when you know its coming, but you dont know what and when.
@@jarskil8862 so overused though
@@yellowcard8100 Actually no.
I dont remember what the youtuber was called, but he had quite good breakdown of Good and bad jumpscares.
Example in movie "the 6th sense" the ghost girl who appears in tent was a good jumpscare, because it first makes the viewer to pay attention to fully wrong spot, then the camera slowly rolls to a puking ghost girl while viewer is still confused by wrong spot the movie tricked you to look at.
@@yellowcard8100 Yeah I read your comment wrong
I first read "If movie has jumpscares its not scary" or something like "if movie has jumpscares its shit"
But true I agree. If movie is fully relying on jumpscares, its often bad horror.
Is that a Ralphthemoviemaker reference?
"And then--Boo-scare!" Boo-scare is my new favorite word. Another great video, man. Well reasoned and beautifully executed.
i agree, this covered all the issues ive had with trailers... I cant help but wonder how the trailer I just released for the indie film I'm working on holds up against this list of "trailer-don'ts"
"In the age of poor and cliche trailers...
...there comes the one trailer...
...to rule them all:
~My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face~"
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM
YESSSS
What trailer is this?
@@plantinapot9169 The Joker movie
@Kai McCook endgame trailer was shit. literally made us feel bad for tony at the beggining of it then showed him at the end in a quantum suit smh
Remember film producers and directors of horror films...
Loud = Scary
Loud AND sudden.
The worst part is that when a horror film is actually good people don't call it a horror film, they start calling it thriller and suspense.
these go up to 11...
and there's always some really annoying woman screaming
I hate that fucking strobe effect with a burning fury that cannot be quelled. What does it add? Just show the shot clip as it is.
magmablock It's all about that EXTREME editing we got going on.
+magmablock you tube jump cuts
magmablock cast away was about how he got of the island not if he did. That's why we saw Him go back in the trailer because we want to see how he got there and how he went off.
Plus imagine if someone has epilepsy. You can't really avoid trailers, especially in this day and age of video auto play.
It is so annoying now.
oh my gosh with the spoiling the main plot one: this one time i was watching Disney channel with my lil sis and the trailer for the show Andi Mack came on (Andi Mack is about a girl who thought her grandma was her mom but turns out her sister is her mom and blah blah 12 year old soap opera) and we were like "oh a new show? is it good this time?" (yknow cuz lets be honest Disney channel aint doin so well) and then they reveled the shows biggest plot twist! IN THE TRAILER! it was like "hi I'm Andi Mack and I'm not popular and my lifes about to change" or whatever and then it just cuts to "Andi... I'm not your sister... I'm your mother.." and we were like "...wat" and yeah so don't reveal the big plot twist in the trailer sheesh
Bummer. I'm guessing interest faded immediately?
That’s why I loved how joker only had a teaser and one other, not like other movies that have like 4 trailers
and I haven't been so excited to see a new movie in years! I haven't actually been to a theater in over 2 years. but Joker has really got me psyched up XD
the joker was the best trailer i'd seen in forever
Joker trailers left me asking more questions and intrigued. I rarely go to the cinema, but for the Joker... I'm so going.
I think that there should be a new category for Oscars - Trailers. Joker f**king deserves one. It's how trailers should be done. That's how you get bums in seats :D
When a movie has four 20 minute trailers and the movie is 70 minutes long
Exactly *cough* the lion king 2019 trailers *cough*
This video should be essential viewing for film schools.
Agreed
You honestly think these terrible trailers are made by the creators of the film?
Slow motion action scenes. Especially if that's literally the ONLY slow motion action scene in the movie.
300 has got your back!
I have to say, I'm really glad you gave a suggestion/solution... you're not just complaining, you're giving an idea of how to fix it... I appreciate that, so I wanna say thank you. The content is awesome but you've earned a subscriber from being someone who doesn't JUST whine about the issues....
Thank you! I genuinely love movies so with stuff like this I just want aspects of them to get better. Complaining only goes so far and usually does nothing to fix things.
+GoodBadFlicks I wholeheartedly agree with you! Looking forward to more videos from you!
I can't get to the end because it is whining all the way through
I want just enough to reveal what genre the film is: sci-fi, comedy, action, drama, thriller, spy, romance, western, whatever.
what's worse is that fact that this was made in 2014 but these tactics are still used today.
5 years isn’t that long ago
*"But there's one thing they didn't count on"* 😂
*That line alone needs to be **_retired._* 😒😕
Should have been retired with Paul Blart, Mall Cop. But, then they made a sequel of that.
Along with, "an unlikely hero" or "an unlikely band of misfits."
I can't even remember the last time narration like that was used.
Yeah, but like Brett Favre, coming out of retirement is a thing...it needs to be killed, buried and the location of the grave lost forever.
The classic, write words between scenes... How *scene* far *scene* would *scene* you go ?
Now I want every trailer to be movie footage with bits of the song from Moana laced into it.
How *scene* far *scene* would *scene* you *scene* go *scene* ?
Fixed it for you.
The Trailer to Final Destination 2 and 3 are like that. Only difference is they use "phrases".
Don’t forget “BRAAM”s cousin the Single Piano note in an echoing room.
And also Lana Del Ray.
duckiedale80 ur an idiot
Kai McCook I called him an idiot because he entirely missed the point of the comment and started bashing artists that werent even mentioned in the first place. i also cant stand billie eilish or lana del ray, bon iver is good tho

Amazing Spiderman 2 did the exact same thing. Seriously, most of the trailers spoiled the entire movie and some of the sections of the trailers didn't make it to the final cut. WTF
So much of the movie was shown, I lost all interest.
GoodBadFlicks This ruined Captain America 2 for me...
I feel for this video.
Also, as a funny story: I avoided every single teaser and early clips from Avengers: Endgame, I left some Marvel groups and I even unsuscribed to Marvel Studios, only for my own dad to tell me how it ends 5 hours before watching it on the premiere day.

I’m just surprised they could get so many different tones of the inception horns
I’m surprised you didn’t mention “the feel good film of the year” quote they always manage to shove in
Years ago, I remember every time I saw the trailer in theaters for the original Mission Impossible, the money-shot of Tom Cruise being blown from the helicopter onto the train received huge applause and cheers from the audience. When the film finally came out, that same moment was greeted with...silence.
2019 and the VOOOOOOOOO is ever popular. I call it the EMP...I think it's the 21st century replacement for the record rip
They even used it in the Picard trailer.

Agreed. You are cringe.
@@jimwalker2997 Triggered.
@@thebatman4279 OK. Cool name though 😂😂😂
@Leandro Aude 😂😂😂
Nightmare on Elm Street started the creepy girl singing and now 35 years later they're still plagiarizing it.
6 years later and still spot on. It's all about money. Movies with trailers with all the tropes in this video somehow end up making more money, so the executives demand the marketing for their movie be exactly the same. Even if we were to only allow 30 seconds for every trailer, studios would still find a way to frame very pivotal moment in there. Have you seen those 5-second trailers on online ads saying what you're about to watch is the "official trailer"? It's like every frame is a different shot.
When "Back to the Future" was shown to the test audience, they made sure that they had not seen a trailer. The audience was so surprised by the film, they gave it a standing ovation.
That's the power of skipping the trailer.
Most successful trailers I remember:
Mad Max Fury Road
Widows
And good job for "Suicide Squad" because they actually made me believe the movie was good.
The trailer for #Alive is just the first few minutes of the movie without any changes. Imagine that.
Other movies wouldn't even have the main character introduced at that point, let alone the plot.
I think that masterpiece trailer of Alien 1979, it was a scary and outstanding trailer.
Also i very liked avengers infinity war “there was an idea....” or vice 2018
God you hit on everything I've ever disliked about trailers.
Watching this makes me want to change the course of my life to become a filmmaker and actually make good trailers
Please do that
@Janick kittypie, Go be a filmmaker, only to find out that someone *else* was hired to make the trailer for *your* movie
@@apurugganan maybie just start youtube channel instead, makeing amatur movies
I am such a genious that i forgot that it would not solve the issue at all
If you ever do go down that path, I'm open to edit the trailer(s) for you
I genuinely have a theory that right now, studios are deliberately filming movies *specifically* so they can be cut down into a 4-5 minute trailer so they can be shoved into digital ads. It's literally putting me off both watching films and watching advertisements at all, and certainly I don't want to go to the cinema itself if I have to sit through the previews and potentially spoil myself
My annoyances: One note piano at the beginning of the trailer and using rap, RAP music in a fantasy-movie trailer!
YESS I HATE THIS
or Dubstep…
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 Thankfully the use of dubstep has been all but eliminated haha!
What genre of music is appropriate for a fantasy movie?
Calypso or zydeco. Maybe an occasional polka. The Benny Hill theme?
Thank you for mentioning that WAYYYYY OVERUSED "Vooo" slow down gimmick!
If you wanna see how a trailer should be done, watch the original trailer for Alien (1979).
+Oculus Orbus This is my favourite trailer of all time.
My all time favorite horror trailer to my favorite horror movie.
a recent trailer that i believe did a good job was 10 cloverfield lane
Jorge Sumi I was thinking the same thing.
Or watch some news
There's two other common cliches that movie trailers have.
One is constantly fading in and out on every second.
The other is the slow, tiny, quiet, piano music with lots of reverb in the opening (with a fade in and a bird's eye view and very likely to turn into an inception horn).
One example of a trailer is a movie about a lost dog. They immediately show the end of the movie by having the dog return to it's owner. (OMG 187 LIKES)
Lol
Dear god, I saw that trailer
I KNOW RIGHT I WAS SO MAD
I know exactly what trailer you’re talking about; I’ve never seen a trailer so perfectly sum up the entire movie in such a short time
It was so annoying to sit through that trailer each time I watched Spider-verse in theaters.
This is why I thought the Black Panther teaser was much better than the final trailer. Although even the teaser gave away some of the best shots and some spoilers, the final trailer spoiled so much more of the movie!
2015: Nah
2016: nah
2017: Nope
2018: Hell no
2019: Why would we?
2020: Now it's time to recommend this worldwide
I'm still mad the T2 trailer spoiled that Arnold was the good guy this time around. The trailer showed the scene of him with a hand in the air saying "I swear I will not kill anyone". I always wondered how cool that surprise might have been if it was a twist. The way it's filmed up until the two terminators find John Conor at the mall it's never revealed which one is there to save him until Arnold points a gun at him and says "get down". This is about 30 minutes into the movie.
What I'm tired of is taking a classic song, slowing it down, and having some hipster-sounding chick singing the lyrics with only a piano.
A movie trailer that was done right was the trailer for The Force Awakens. It showed us what the movie had to offer without giving away too much. THAT... is how movie trailers should be done.
Well star wars is a million dollar franchise that has been out since the 80s that no matter what everybody was going to see. Even if they just showed the final scene with Luke staring at the camera for the trailer, people would still see it.
it showed darth vader
+TheDaddy35 which we never saw. Other than his helmet.
+Jose Mazon it been out since the 70s. 1977 to be exact
+WildHog Gaming Um, no, sir. "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" was the official Star Wars film that came out that year. It was also the original Star Wars film. The film being referred to in this comment chain is 2015's "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens", or in other words, "Disneys Star Wars". Don't tell me you've never heard of it? If you're alive, you have to have heard of it.
Something that I've noticed, which is less common, are trailers that appeal to emotion in a deceptive way. It can be done through music and heavy editing, which tends to quickly set a mood. The best example of this I can think of would have to be the _Battle: Los Angeles_ trailer which used the song _"The Sun's Gone Dim and The Sky's Turned Black"_ by Jóhann Jóhannsson. The movie turned out to be far less moving, but I'll never forget that trailer.
Completely agree! My pet peeves with trailers are giving away too much and all the cliches. You're right in that trailers shouldn't need to be longer than 30 seconds and we don't need to watch the first 10 minutes of something.
the Terminator Genysis trailer spoiled the WHOLE movie!
I kNOW! That ruined the film!
+MrDman21 I ignore the spoiler moments on the trailers of Terminator Genysis
+MrDman21 They showed the 2 big twists in the movie.
The first one should've been shown, just to make it aware they're throwing around the timeline.
The second twist though...
And also that second twist was on the poster.
The movie still sucked tho.
+MrDman21
And yet I still enjoyed it.
Besides, spoiling the big reveal is kind of Terminator tradition at this point. And, funny enough, it started with Terminator 2.
This is now a mess you figure it out what I said and maybe just maybe I will repost it
I'm glad I didn't see Endgame's trailer period.
...Guess that's the good side of having an internet to tell you what movies are coming out. The bad side, of course, is when people on that internet spoil the movie for you (I'm looking at you, I Don't Feel So Good Mr. Stark memes).
@@jaschabull2365 I'm sorry my meme side had to come out before I saw endgame I was a person that ended hearing about half the movie. Sorry.
@@jaschabull2365 You didn't see the movie - that's your problem. People have right to discuss movie details and plot twists, and you had three months to watch the movie.
@@MaxTsyba "But there's one thing they didn't see coming..." You're wrong. Do you know why? Because yes. Bet you didn't see that coming.
@@MaxTsyba
I actually did see the movie, it's the trailer I missed. Which is a typo I just fixed.
you have no idea how surprised I was when I saw spider man in captain America
A Choking Fish dude 😂😂😂😂
:(
This is why I specifically avoid trailers on tv, I ask people not to tell me about a movie I have not seen yet, and I don’t watch or listen to them in a theatre. Good work.
I'm pretty sure Jarhead's misdirection was intentional. As you stated, the movie is about the downtime of being a soldier but another aspect that wasn't mentioned was about the character's imaginative expectation of action when going to war only to never get it because reality kicks in. At one point, he actually loses his shit when he was about to finally snipe a target that he's been eyeing on and have his training not be for nothing only to have it be taken away from a bombing run. The same goes for the trailer, you expect action because it's a war movie only to have those expectations subverted.
Yeah, maybe all that's true but Jarhead was a frickin awful movie.
Yeah, I see those "Watch the first 10 minutes of the movie" all the time.
It's even started with gaming, with "Watch the first hour of the game"
I don't see the point of either of those.
EarthboundX I'm guessing they are ways to try and stop piracy
I've had a trailer on a Harry Potter DVD for a game based on the movie that's already on the disc.
It spoiled the ENTIRE synopsis immediately before you get to the actual movie itself!
That's why you pirate movies!
On the topic of Don Lafontaine:
He is the voice of movie trailers for many people, but I remember seeing an interview with him that really didn't impress me much. The interviewer started to say something like "I could do what you do for *years* and never be as good as you," but it went more like this:
Interviewer: I could do what you do---
Don L: No, you couldn't.
It came across as so arrogant.
This video deserve more views.
+Edward I agree!
The editing for modern movie trailers is utterly unacceptable. A relentless assault on the senses, particularly with the strobe-like editing, in cinemas I have to avert my eyes so as not to catch epilepsy.
Every time I hear Epic Voice Guy: "Hey! That was Epic Voice Guy!"
I have sat in a full theater with my eyes closed and my fingers in my ears, humming, to avoid seeing a trailer.
Made it 2 years without seeing a single second of the Brian Cranston Godzilla footage or hearing a single second of its roar. I'm sitting in the theater with 10 friends about to see the movie and as I turn to talk to the person on the other side of me a commercial pops up on screen. It's opening second consists of the new Godzilla screaming at the screen. My friends knew how much I loved Godzilla. They knew how hard it'd been for me to avoid spoilers. They gasped, and a part of me withered.
and 5 years later it's even worse!
*In flight attendant voice*
Please hold for inevitable nose dive in box office gross.
yeah!!!!
I don’t remember being interested in any recent movie! Especially not based on the trailer
Nope.
Godzilla 2’s trailer and mission impossible was awesome
I'd like to add to this the "genre-shifted cover song" cliche that we've been seeing a lot lately. Usually some minimalistic piano cover of a pop/rock song with slow dramatic singing that rises in intensity at the end of the trailer. Reboots and decades-late sequels tend to use the classic movie theme in a similar way.
Eyes closed and ears plugged... that's me every time I go to the movies - I stopped watching trailers since 2011 when one ruined Thor for me.
Logan's trailer is fantastic. I'll always stand by that one, Johnny Cash's cover on Hurt just ties it altogether.
Anyone else remember Kangaroo Jack? The whole trailer made it seem like a kids movie about a talking kangaroo. Nothing but lies

My friend: "So, The Happytime Murders, how'd you like it?"
Me: "It was good. It would have been funnier if I hadn't seen almost every joke already in the trailer."
Worst is when they spoil the very ending of a thriller like in "All the boys love Mandy Lane". You don't have to watch the movie because the reveal with the very very last scene of it is shown at the end of the trailer 🙈
