Movie trailers are better than the actual movies and it's not even close.
By @liamforsure · Hot Takes
The best part of going to the theater is the 20 minutes of trailers beforehand. They're perfectly edited, show all the best parts, and you can imagine the perfect movie in your head before the real one disappoints you.
The full story
I will die on this hill. A movie trailer is a perfect, 2-minute piece of art. It has all the epic moments, the funniest jokes, the biggest explosions, and the best line deliveries, all set to amazing music. The actual movie has to deal with boring things like plot and character development. Give me a 90-minute reel of just trailers for movies that don't even exist. I'd be happier than watching most of the blockbusters that come out. My friends say I'm cynical, I say I just appreciate a good trailer.

What people are saying
@heyitsme — This is so real. Especially for horror movies. The trailer is terrifying and then the movie is just 90 minutes of jump scares.
@avaforsure — Disagree. A good movie is a whole experience. A trailer is just an ad.
@codyok2 — You just have bad taste in movies.
@codywelp — Absolutely agree. It's like the sizzle reel for a video game. I want the action, not the cutscenes.
@whateverman — I kinda get it. The 'movie' you imagine from the trailer is always perfect because it's YOUR perfect movie.
