Most times if the movie is trash they put the best parts of it in a trailer, like that one single action sequence in a 90 minutes slugfest. When a bad trailer doesn't do even that I assume the marketing team didn't have anything of use in what they got sent by production. Or that the movie is designed to flop, like if a studio only wanted to keep a hold of this IP.
