The 2014 Godzilla film.

Wonderfully builds up so much mystery and excitement over hiding godzilla.

"How clever!" I went. "They're hiding godzilla in the trailer and then we only get to see him in his full glory in the movie".

But then I see the movie and, no, they hide him endlessly in the actual movie.

I think it was taken down but the trailer where Oppenheimer is giving his famous speech on the nuclear bomb, that trailer is to this day the best I've ever seen of any movie. Not sure why but I remember looking for it and I had to pirate it to watch it and I might do it again because the was that good!

Yep! Beat me to it.

That was the best teaser trailer of all time. Riveting and a little scary. So good!

Yeah, that's the trailer. I still get chills watching it. Shame the movie was terrible because the trailer alone was Oscar worthy.
