... That's not bad marketing... That's good marketing if you can make people want to watch a crappy movie.

Agreed, however, the marketing on that film still wasn't that good because despite the deceptive marketing, that film still did lousy, not even being number 1 the weekend of its release if I remember correctly. There was some decieving in that marketing but by the time it really kicked in, people were laready turned off by the film anyways.

I think a better example of deceptive marketing would be X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That movie looked f-ing epic in the advertisements.

The ads for Origins made it look like Team X was in it for WAAAAAY longer than they were and also the marketing did a FANTASTIC job of hiding the horrible adaptation of Deadpool or rather, excuse me, Weapon XI from the masses.

Thank god for the leak on that movie, otherwise, it would have been much more of a success than it was.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Don't remind me of how they treated Deadpool.

I think he's referring to Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 3 had great marketing because it put behinds in the seats.

Green Lantern was bad marketing because it turned people off the product. I never ended up seeing it myself. When the trailers are as unappealing as those for Green Lantern are unless the film gets great reviews I'm not wasting my time and money.

The best example of brilliant marketing is probably for the Transformers series. The films are heaping piles of elephant dung, but they are edited into trailers that look like they are advertising the most epic films ever made.

That was really dissapointing, IMO.

My mind automatically prepared a bad joke on this pic

We were actually on the subject of films with DECEPTIVE marketing.

Part 2, finally.

What so thrilled on that for?

 

[SpideyFan866]

Hey guys! I found this article about the 3ality 3D tech and how it saved TASM from being POST-CONVERTED!

Really cool stuff.

By the way, tomorrow is the 1-year anniversary of the day that the very first picture of Andrew Garfield in his Spider-Man costume was revealed.

Do you guys think that we'll get something tomorrow in commemoration? A trailer perhaps? A new pic?

Here's the pic again to refresh you memory?

Do you feel differently about it now that a year has passed?

Thrilling

Thrilling

I detect a hint of sarcasm.

 

[Naite22]

I'm just glad they are actually shooting this movie in real 3D-format, and not convert a 2D release to 3D.. Cause that just sucks! Can't wait to see Spidey in 3D-action!

There is? Not part of the plan

 

[ElijahSoRight72]

It's also been two years since we knew about TASM. It's so incredible to think about it. Plus it just means it won't be long untill the film is here.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

It's ALL part of the plan!

I know. You were talking about Spider-Man 3 having deceptive marketing because Venom was all over it despite only being in the film for 10 minutes. I'm saying it was good marketing because it got people into the theatre.

You were talking about Green Lantern, but the original comments were about SM3.

 

[Godzilla2014]

Don't remind me of how they treated Deadpool.

I'm not even a fan of Deadpool and that pissed me off.

[White_Knight191]

OMG

 

[Spidey_62]

Where is that from??

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I hope he doesn't unmask to the villain as well
Hey Garfield, put your mask back on
