10 Trailers That Were Way Better Than Their Films

3. Terminator: Salvation

Terminator Salvatio Let€™s make no bones about it; Salvation is a massive step above T3: Rise Of The Machines. With good to very good performances by most of the cast, exceptional action sequences and a "kind of" Arnie cameo, Salvation hit a lot of the right buttons. There was something vital missing from the franchise€™s fourth instalment though. There was little to differentiate it from previous entries, leaving all the action and plot points seem like a hollow rehash. The trailer on the other hand is pretty bloody epic. With our familiar metal skull gracing the screen, we are shown Christian Bale running around, shooting guns while screaming at and into machines. The trailer also started the trend that would become €œlet€™s use a Nine In Nails song under this€. And my does it work brilliantly. Check it out below: http://youtu.be/owrEMGg4x3M

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!
