10 Trailers That Were Way Better Than Their Films

4. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Darth Maul Remember how excited you were to hear that Star Wars had been bought by Disney and they€™d be releasing new films? Well imagine how exciting it was when it was announced that the prequels were finally being made, and you had not yet seen how bad they were. The disappointment with The Phantom Menace was not simply down to it failing in comparison with previous instalments, it wasn€™t even on par with its own trailer. Granted, it€™s almost impossible not be excited when you€™re shown lightsabers galore, Yoda talking gibberish wisdom and Liam Neeson as a Jedi Master. But we were duped. We do, however, get to go through it all again soon enough. Let€™s hope the franchise to end all franchises is restored to its former glory. http://youtu.be/I6hOlI9cg4o

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
