15 Movie Titles That Blatantly Lied To You

8. Three Kings

What It Suggests

Well, this one is clearly a riff on the Three Kings legend from the Bible, but it would have been pretty safe to assume that it was going to involve three central characters, with some sort of link to precious treasures or gifts.

The Truth

While the inference of precious things was spot on - since this is a movie about treasure, after all - the big problem with this title is that it ignores the fact that there are four main characters. Sure, that might have compromised the biblical element, but that wasn't even important in the first place.

Plus, it might have been nice for Spike Jonze to have been acknowledged at all in the marketing. As it was, he was clearly deemed not famous enough and ended up missing from both the title and the cover and poster art. Bit harsh, particularly since he ends up being killed off anyway.
