Even more trailers...

...that might be better than the movies they advertise.

Here are some more examples of trailers that are WAY better than the movies they advertise


2003's Stander, based on the true story of cop-turned-bank-robber Andre Stander, is not quite as exciting as this nifty little trailer. It's the music that is played over this teaser which makes it so memorable. While Stander is an excellent underrated biopic, the film isn't nearly as fun as this trailer, nor does the song show up anywhere.


Even after having seen this lackluster biopic in its entirety, watching this trailer still gives me the shivers. The music is so uplifting, so bold, almost demanding that you take notice. Showing the whole trailer from Thatcher's point of view and revealing Maryl Streep just murdering the role at the end really makes this preview a success. It advertises the movie we all wish we had seen when we bought tickets to see a biopic of Margaret Thatcher's life and got the puzzling Iron Lady instead.



Not only the recognizable characters and visuals but, again, the music in this teaser makes me wish December 14, 2012 was tomorrow. This film really doesn't need much of an introduction and this trailer feels just right for revisiting Middle Earth. The haunting yet calming song that the characters begin singing really puts you in another place and time. Will The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey be as good as this trailer promises? My guess is absolutely. 

Side note: Chernobyl Diaries review coming in just a few hours...stay tuned.
