False advertisement hurts word of mouth and to some extent critical reception.
Yea, bottom line sure but better marketing wouldnt have changed that people didnt like the movie. Better marketing woulda got me to pay to watch it in theaters instead of the Avenues I used. But I think Apoclypse killed the momentum for me and I kinda just wanted it to be done and tried again in a few years. Everything felt like a retread to me. So maybe I didnt give this movie a fair shake but if it was a good movie it woulda overcome that.
