Every so often, a trailer comes out for an upcoming movie that gets people excited. A film with a great premise can fill the seats of theaters all over the world, but it doesn't always work out. Occasionally, a movie with a promising premise ends up disappointing audiences due to a completely failed execution. When it comes to movies, there's nothing more disappointing than that.
It's not uncommon for a failed premise to lead to a bad movie, and more than a few are considered to be the worst movies ever made. Audiences tend to react negatively when a film doesn't deliver on the promise of its trailer, so the reaction can be negative. When it happens, people often take to Reddit to share their dislike of whichever film disappointed them, and these are the best of the worst!
Spider-Man 3 - Despite not being a huge comic movie person, Spider-Man 2 was pretty damn good. I also read some comics as a kid, and Venom was the big thing.
So it seemed like a slam dunk. But we got this instead.
Prometheus was excellent at the beginning, but if you're going to spend a trillion dollars to fly to another planet just to have the stupidest away team possible manning the ground mission pull some of the dumbest moves you can on an alien world that is a serious lack of foresight. A biologist that doesn't recognize the equivalent of a cobra fanning its hood? A historian that takes his helmet off on a whim in an alien base just because "there's an atmosphere?" A geologist that gets lost in the structure he has automated mapping equipment for? Oh, and let's not forget the mad scramble to preserve an alien helmet in the atmosphere it was discovered in, just to completely expose it to a Terran atmosphere inside the Prometheus science lab with no containment whatsoever... Just plain idiots! No wonder the mission went belly up, the whole project was managed by a team, God knows how many astronomical units away, that probably forged their diplomas when it came time to show their report cards to their parents. It had so much potential.
