When I saw the trailer to Shutter Island, a film about a detective trying to solve a murder at a mysterious and secluded mental institution, I immediately guessed that the twist was going to be that the detective was actually a patient the whole time. This made me decide that I didn't need to watch it and I never looked up a plot summary so I've no idea if I'm right.

Spoiler warning
You’re right
Not made up a movie, but I have seen trailers that made a movie look like it sucks when it was actually pretty decent
Speed comes to mind:
Musicals tend to have misleading trailers, IMO. Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp comes to mind. I knew it was a musical because I was already familiar with the stage musical, but would not have guessed based on the trailer alone. I had friends similarly surprised that the 2024 Mean Girls is also a musical.
Studios do this on purpose because they know audiences don't like musicals as much as they used to. They also will hide that its part 1 of 2.
Nobody mention the Joker sequel...
Yep. Legit didn’t know it was a musical. Walked out 10 minutes in.
TIL the Mean Girls remake is a musical.
I like this idea and more wish I was creative enough for this.
In short: no, I have never done this.
The Megalopolis in my head was one hundred billion times better than what FFC made.
Based on the trailer for Stealth, I thought the whole movie was going to be about them chasing down a rogue jet.
I'm glad they did the trailer this way.
ALL I saw of that movie during its promotional campaign was several scenes of really stupid transformer jet fighters and a bikini scene at a lake in a jungle?
I often get dreams about watching the movie and being disappointed.
