- The 1998 Godzilla reboot's teaser hid the infamously poor monster design, instead building anticipation with a T-Rex skeleton getting stomped, capitalizing on that summer's Jurassic Park sequel hype.
- The third trailer for Man of Steel suggested a more hopeful and majestic version of Superman, with Russell Crowe's powerful voiceover and Hans Zimmer's stirring score elevating even the most middling moments from the final film.
