Terminator Genisys: 18 Stupidest Moments In 2015's Dumbest Movie

18. The Idiotic, Showy Trailers

Say what you want about hype building and attempting to draw in the old Terminator loving crowd by showing off the sequel's commitment to the old tropes and reference points of the Terminator films that didn't actually suck, but the Terminator marketing department need to be fired immediately.

Even if they manage to squeeze enough money out of the film to justify a sequel (it's not a massive stretch considering the amounts made by Jurassic World and Furious 7), the fact that they spoiled such a dramatic twist so early on is unforgivable. And it's not like it was even an accident.

There is another fairly big revelation in there, but it's still nowhere near as grand as John Connor being a machine, and there was literally no need to spoil that fact. All that leads to is an audience who feel betrayed when they go in knowing the magician's best trick and he still pretends it's as worthy of ceremony and circumstance.
