action movies
for this list we’re taking a look at
action films from the 90s onward that
garnered lots of hype through intense
marketing and sheer anticipation I’m
back
whether the film ended up being good or
bad doesn’t matter as long as the
publicity proceeding it had everybody
pumped up SAP walking blowing yeah
focusing on the most hyped movies from
various genres number 10 Transformers
Revenge of the Fallen so late
who did daddy know huh you got a lead on
the heels of its profitable predecessor
the initial sequel to transformers was
given 150 million dollars just for its
global marketing campaign haha Wow
Hasbro meanwhile merchandised the hell
out of the picture with a slew of shiny
new toys ma take me with you
if that wasn’t enough to bait audiences
the movie horde itself out to every
product placement partner imaginable to
get word out and it paid off as the film
made enough cash to rebuild the ancient
pyramids
although critical reaction wasn’t as
booming all the negative reviews in the
world couldn’t kill the hype as
evidenced by its massive box office
success you know what you can give me
the silent treatment all you want be
kidding me tiny writers I hope you had a
lot of fun because this is over number 9
Cloverfield
like super 8 did after it Cloverfield
built incredible hype through viral
marketing and a strong sense of mystery
is anyone caught working what is your
phone work me what after it’s teaser hit
everybody wanted a peek at the concealed
beast that decapitated the Statue of
Liberty
fans even created websites dedicated to
studying the trailer and sharing concept
art as an extra push the viral factory
was hired to fabricate eight news clips
each centered on the monster attacking a
different part of the world shut up shut
up two minutes after word of a possible
earthquake in lower Manhattan nearby in
New York Harbor we’re getting word of an
oil tanker capsizing in the middle of
the harbor it made Cloverfield feel like
a universal event insuring millions
around the globe would buy tickets
number eight the Matrix Reloaded
after the matrix practically spawned a
new religion with its intriguing
philosophies and revolutionary visuals
moviegoers couldn’t wait for Neos return
to the big screen you always told me to
stay off the freeway yes that’s true
said it was suicide then let us hope
that I was wrong we got even more
excited when the Matrix Reloaded
produced one epic trailer after another
the highly anticipated follow-up was
certainly a financial success scoring
one of the biggest opening weekends of
2003
it turned out the best sequences were
all in the ads however as many
complained this sequel failed to live up
to the original or the hype for that
matter
number seven Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull I ain’t
gonna be easy
not as easy as it used to be well would
be foolish yeah when after Steven
Spielberg and Harrison Ford finally
hopped on board for a fourth Indiana
Jones installment the public was
spoon-fed little details about the plot
all we really learned was the movies
title which Shia LaBeouf announced at
the MTV VMAs the film itself was
essentially the Ark of the Covenant and
everybody wanted a look inside never
giving too much away the 150 million
dollar marketing campaign generated an
old-school adventure vibe that appealed
to nostalgic fans and new audiences
alike I haven’t talked that Harold Oxley
in 20 years he’s a brilliant guy to put
you to sleep just by talking the
advertisements also wisely neglected to
mention the aliens Gophers and
refrigerator
number six Jurassic Park the Cretaceous
period I mean this thing is about
visiting
taking a page from jaws the ads for
Jurassic Park only offered audiences a
small glimpse of the dinosaurs Steven
Spielberg had cooked up the mere sight
of the T Rexes I was more than enough to
guarantee people would be standing in
line during opening weekend then
immediately rushing out to buy
merchandise
considering Jurassic Park came out
before the innovation of viral marketing
it’s truly remarkable that the trailer
alone garnered so much buzz it’s this
dinosaur positive word-of-mouth
additionally helped to make this
kick-ass blockbuster one of the biggest
films of Spielberg’s career boy I hate
being right all the time
number five The Dark Knight Rises let
the games begin
whether it’s an established franchise or
an original idea like Inception it’s
hard not to get jazzed up when
Christopher Nolan’s name is attached to
a picture

Batman trilogy I’m Gotham’s reckoning it

water
