Trailers that look like they're for a serious movie and then pull a fake-out.
Remember seeing this?
Alvin and the Chipmunks [ Trailer 2007 ] [ ENG ] - 1080pIt's been done a million times, and it was after seeing this trailer that I started unconsciously doubting every single trailer I watched.
Also, as a visual design nut:
Please...
Please, for the love of god, stop using fucking Trajan font to every goddamned movie.

Trajan is not a ubiquitous font. You can't just use it for anything, much less
everything. Sometimes at the video store I like to see how many times I can find Trajan on one shelf in the drama section (I do the same thing in the comedy section, only I see how many of them have the big dumb red fonts)
I also hate floating head syndrome, while I'm at it.
(and yes I am aware that nothing in this movie is a trope used
within a movie, but they're still dumb annoying advertising tropes)
