For me, one of the movies in more recent years that I felt a sense of robbed from was Avengers: Age of Ultron.
That initial trailer felt so dark and serious with Spader menacingly delivering No Strings On Me, it just felt like this was going to be an intense MCU film with a lot at stake.
And then the movie came out and felt largely boring and predictable although a few good scenes throughout, with Ultron really not feeling like a threat at all and the film basically focusing more on seeding for upcoming sequels or setting up next movies that it didn't spend enough time focusing on its own.
I felt this movie was completely different from that trailer and pushed me into hardly ever watching movie trailers anymore, especially with MCU has I learned they were doing more bait and switch to avoid spoilers but also change a movie's tone.
Now I'll watch an initial teaser/reveal and maybe the first trailer and that's it.

Spongebob: Sponge Out of Water. The way the trailer sets up the movie was perfect. Starting within the 2D-world of Bikini Bottom before moving upwards the shore where the REAL fun begins. But the movie mostly takes place underwater for 3/5ths or 4/5ths of the movie. I assume the 3D animation and getting land to film the movie was pricy, so choices had to be made. Still, it could've been SO much better.

the nonexistent Peter Johnson movies, anyone
Rick Riordan on movies-To me, its my life 's work going through a meat grinder when I pleaded with them Not to do it
Riordan on Lotus scene in movies and the series - I don't know, but its clearly a mistake. They should censor the entire thing. Just two hours of Blank Screen

There was a Carol Burnett movie some years back called A Wedding (1978. The trailer presented it as Slapstick comedy and it actually was a black comedy. I didn't like it then because of the wrong expectations I went in with. Watching it later, it was an excellent movie as long as you went in with the proper expectations.

There's this movie called Oh Lucy! starring Shinobu Terajima and Josh Harnett. It's made to look like a quirky comedy-drama, with the names of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay shown as exec producers.
It was depressing. Great film, but it will catch you by surprise if you saw the trailer.

The misleading that Godzilla 2014 was good in terms of pleasantly surprising people like me who prefer seeing Godzilla fighting other monsters as opposed to being solo and destroying stuff on his own
Seeing my first Godzilla battle in theaters is an experience I will never forget.

The Corrutor (1999) This Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun Fat starring film Is a personal favorite of mine but those trailers didn't do It justice though regardless If I still liked It but anyway It was much better than 2008's Max Payne another Mark Wahlberg starring film

Reel Steel trailer made it look like Hugh was an awesome dad who shadow boxes with robots throughout the entire movie. Instead he was a POS dad, and the shadow boxing didn't happen til the very end. Still kinda liked it, but I thought I was going to love it is all.

I remember The American with George Clooney getting some flak because the audience assumed it would be an international action thriller, judging by the trailer.
Instead, if was more of a 60s homage crime-drama closer to arthouse.

Can we talk about how The Force Awakens led us to believe Finn was going to be the main protagonist of the new Star Wars movies but we ended up with the complete dumpster fire filled with dead fetuses that was the sequel trilogy

The only clues that Mean Girls 2024 was a musical from the trailer, was Regina starting to sing, and the musical note in the logo. Many musicals seem to be ashamed of BEING musicals, as evidenced by Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables and Wonka.

Godzilla 2014 was a real letdown. They set up for a monster battle only to cut away to a news report about it. It’s obvious they were doing this to try to build up the final battle. But it failed.

Anyone else remember the Mercedes advert with Benicio del Toro My friend and I were quite disappointed when we realised that wasn't for a real movie. We may have been high at the time.

Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder’s Justice League comes to mind. Shame considering I like Man of Steel. Can’t forget The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.

Believe it or not I actually expected, Wonka to be a musical because the original, the one this film is a prequel for, was a musical. Downsizing was the film that tricked me the most

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfares trailer made it to look like a action/comedy when it really was a war film with some funny bits. It was still good but very misleading.

Why isn’t No Way Home trailer not mentioned in the list While most already knew the truth, MS-Sony still released trailers with the other two Spider-Men editted out.

Wonka should’ve been in mean girls place. We KNEW it would be the musical. Most people who are obsessed with the adaptation knew. NO ONE knew Wonka would be a musical

Nowadays, I am starting to hate misleading trailers. If you are going to subvert audience’s expectations, give them something better then you promised, not less.
