10 Teaser Trailers Better Than The Actual Movie

"Oh man, Nicholas Winding Refn is teaming up with Ryan Gosling for a follow-up to Drive? AND it's another hyper-stylish, sleekly-scored movie set in Thailand? Sign me up!" Regardless of whether you're a fan of Refn's or not, it's hard not to get excited by the beautiful ambiguity that is the teaser for Only God Forgives. Every beautiful frame feels dense and does all the talking for a teaser with so little words said in it.

Every shot is so visually-stunning that when you watch the actual movie, it seems like the characters themselves were just as entranced by the visuals as the viewer. So many scenes are riddled with people mostly staring at each other, seemingly forgetting if the next line is theirs or their scene partner's.

Refn's films are known for being divisive, but it's his trailers that may actually be the most controversial. They consistently misrepresent the viewing experience you'll have, dooming moviegoers to disappointment. OGF is not a bad film, but its teaser does illustrate the greatness it was capable of.
