When it was first announced that a new Godzilla movie was in the works, many people had flashbacks to Roland Emmerich's critically savaged 1998 blockbuster. Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. had to make it very clear that their version of Toho's most famous son was an entirely different beast,. What better way to make their intentions instantly clear to general audiences than by releasing a teaser trailer that is nothing short of jaw-dropping? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_vgqSXkUwY
Runner Up - Guardians Of The Galaxy First Trailer
Guardians of the Galaxy was a movie based on a comic book that most general audiences had never heard off, featured an ensemble cast with little in the way of star power and was Marvel Studios' biggest gamble to date.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
