00:00I didn't feel it a little harder. No, Jill. Stop it. He's kidding
00:09I actually did feel something there. Welcome to watch mojo and today
00:14We're looking at trailers that ignited the most hate regardless of how the movie itself came out. That is pretty good
00:20How can you say that looks good? You're doing it again
00:24Number ten the emoji movie people were immediately ready to declare the emoji movie a soulless Sony
00:32Commercial any hope it might be a pleasant surprise like the Lego movie went out the window with the first teaser
00:40Sweetie you're so handsome when you make that face. I think he's ready now
00:45a
00:46Emoji voiced by Stephen Wright announces that this will be their first movie
00:52Their only movie would have been more accurate. We are go for men
01:03What the heck to say that the reception was it would be too generous
01:09The response was better summed up with an appearance from a poop emoji voiced by sir, Patrick Stewart
01:16No, go ahead finish that sentence in 24 hours the teaser accumulated roughly
01:2322,000 dislikes more than five times the amount of likes the subsequent trailer didn't bode
01:29Well either making it clear exactly what the final product would be a product
01:36number nine the three stooges
01:39Some write off the original three stooges film shorts as lowbrow slapstick, which is unfair
01:45At their peak the three stooges shorts showcased some of the most inventive
01:50character driven and funniest moments in all of comedy the trailer for the
01:552012 feature film didn't send this impression targeting the lowest common denominator
02:04While traces of the classic stooges humor are present
02:08They're undercut with obnoxious narration over-the-top music and the presence of the Jersey Shore gang
02:15I got you a present really yeah gone open
02:20Some felt the film ultimately wasn't as bad as the advertising suggested
02:25That said the trailer highlighted the movie's worst moments
02:29Not appealing to longtime stooges fans and failing to reach a new generation
02:35Larry Curly and Moe themselves couldn't have made a more inept trailer
02:45Number eight
02:47Snow White
02:48between its teaser and first official trailer
02:51Snow White became arguably the most hated live-action Disney remake before even being released
02:58Live action might actually be a stretch
03:01My parents always said this forest was a magical place
03:05From the environments to the woodland critters to those ungodly
03:10Abominations claiming to be the seven dwarfs almost everything is draped in CGI
03:14So garish that it makes once upon a time look like the Lord of the Rings
03:27Among the few exceptions is star Rachel Zegler
03:30We're not going to act like the controversy surrounding Zegler's casting and her comments about the original classic haven't contributed
03:37to the excessive downvotes
03:39Even taking external factors out of the equation though
03:43The trailer still look about as appetizing as a poison apple, but hey appearances can't be deceiving, right?
03:59Number seven
04:01Dragonball Evolution
04:02For decades anime and manga enthusiasts wondered what a live-action Dragon Ball
04:09Adaptation would look like while everyone pictured something different
04:12It's safe to say nobody envisioned the atrocities that awaited in Dragon Ball Evolution
04:23Has the power to defeat this threat
04:27The masses were given their first taste of this cinematic dumpster fire with the trailer which looked more like
04:34something a fan threw together
04:36Actually, we take that back because a fan made trailer would have tried harder to resemble the source material
04:42We have to find the Dragon Balls before the eclipse
04:46Let's go we'll go but we go together
04:48Oh
04:52Sure Goku's orange outfit appears but people took issue with the actor playing Goku
04:59Although Goku is technically saying it was disheartening for many to see an icon of Japanese animation being portrayed
05:07By the Caucasian Canadian born Justin Chatwin couple that with lazy effects and the trailer spelled
05:14instant fatality
05:18Oh
05:22Number six
05:23Cuties this French film was well received at Sundance
05:28Seemingly vindicating Netflix's decision to pick up the distribution rights before landing on the streaming platform
05:35The film's poster sparked protests with many believing that it depicted young girls in an overtly mature light
05:43Oh
05:47Netflix apologized for the poster saying it was not an accurate
05:51representation of the film the film trailer better reflected what the movie was about a young Muslim dancer torn between
05:58tradition and the right to expression
06:08By this point though naysayers had already made up their minds
06:12Bombarding the trailers dislike button some went a step further calling for others to boycott Netflix
06:19Although Netflix reportedly saw a massive surge of cancelled subscriptions
06:23Cuties was still among the streamers most watched international films of
06:292020
06:34Number five
06:36Madame Webb
06:37Morbius confirmed what we already knew Sony's spider-man universe was a bad idea
06:43That did stop Sony from trying to convince us otherwise with Madame Webb
06:48So what was the trailers best foot forward?
06:51He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died
06:58Seriously Sony look we get that you wanted to allude to spider-man
07:03But no, you know what this clumsy line of dialogue epitomizes one of the main problems with this cinematic universe
07:12Teasing spider-man in movies with no spider-man baby. Peter Parker doesn't count
07:25While the trailer
07:27Alienated most viewers it got a few excited for some good old-fashioned hate watching the film might have delivered on that front
07:34But it failed to include the line that got those hate watchers into the theater Sony doesn't understand any

07:46Number four
07:48Sonic the Hedgehog from Warcraft to Borderlands to a Minecraft movie
07:54Hollywood has struggled to crack the code for advertising films based on video games
07:59The backlash against the first Sonic movie trailer escalated
08:04Especially quickly, although the gangsta's paradise needle drop and Jim Carrey's. Dr. Robotnik raised eyebrows
08:11Sonic himself was the main point of contention
08:13We should say ugly Sonic as the real Sonic doesn't have such
08:19Expressionless eyes a lanky body or human teeth people found the design so grotesque that Paramount delayed the movie's release
08:27Allowing the filmmakers time to give Sonic a makeover
08:31The faithful redesign got the film on the right track paving the way for a successful franchise in
08:38Retrospect though. We're curious what ugly shadow would have looked like what did you do what I had to?
08:52I
08:54Had to
09:01You
09:03Number three
09:04Ghostbusters as the internet reached new levels of toxicity or have movie trailers simply gotten this bad
09:12It was a question many asked when the trailer for the Ghostbusters reboot landed and the answer was both
09:19There are people out there that need our help
09:23Holtzman you're a brilliant engineer
09:25There's no denying that sexism played a major part in making this YouTube's most disliked trailer at the time
09:33We can't say that was the only factor
09:36However, Kristen Wiig Melissa McCarthy Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon are among the funniest people in the business
09:44You'd never guess this solely judging from the virtually laughless trailer. There's a bigger picture at hand here
09:50These ghosts can possess the human form
09:53An unfunny trailer is one thing when your movie carries the Ghostbusters name
09:58Longtime fans are going to be especially critical as far as some were concerned the franchise died with this trailer
10:12Number two cats
10:15Ugly Sonic made social media collectively recoiled, but imagine an entire cast composed of ugly Sonics
10:22That's what it felt like when the trailer for Tom Hooper's adaptation of the stage musical cats was unveiled
10:38Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical was tailor-made for an abstract medium like theater
10:44Translating the material the film Hooper attempted to make humanoid cat people more realistic using CGI
10:53The
10:59Technology wasn't ready. However, no seriously the effects in the trailer weren't finished yet
11:05According to Hooper the director implied that the film would look better
11:09But even upon release the CGI still wasn't entirely done the trailer perfectly encapsulated the movie
11:16We got which is honestly the nicest thing we couldn't say about it

11:51sawduck to in June
11:542020 Indian actors Sushant Singh Rajput
11:58tragically died
11:59seemingly from self-inflicted methods
12:02Neeraj says that he was sweeping outside Sushant's room when the late actor asked him for a glass of water
12:08He then went inside and he was found dead
12:11It was argued that the Indian film industry tends to spotlight talent from established families
12:16Putting actors like Rajput at a disadvantage
12:18Whether or not this is tied into Rajput's mental health struggles
12:24His death launched a campaign against nepotism
12:26This led to backlash towards several Indian movies
12:28Including Gunjan Saxena
12:30The Kargil Girl starring Jhunvi Kapoor
12:32No movie received more hate than sawduck 2
12:34In which director Mahesh Bhatt cast his daughter Alia as a lead
12:36Becoming the poster child of nepotism
12:38Sawduck 2 is currently the most disliked trailer on YouTube
12:40The trailer remains one of the most disliked videos overall
12:42And the film itself wasn't warmly received either
