I asked for a Snatch type movie. At least that is what the trailer promised.

Not my cup of tea. I really enjoyed Snatch and Lock Stock though...the trailer for this movie suggested to me that it would be of a similar sort...
It might be a very good movie for a particular crowd, but it was clearly misadvertised. Had the trailer been honest, I would have not watched the movie and wouldn't be posting here.

>you don’t realize that trailers are not made by the filmmakers. They are made by outside companies.
I fully realise that. I am saying that whoever made it clearly intended to mislead people about the sort of movie it is. At no point did I suggest that the filmmakers are the ones responsible for it.
>Guy Ritchie movies aren’t dark comedies.
I consider them to be dark comedies. Perhaps not the darkest there are but they are still dark.

I consider movies like "Snatch" and "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" to be dark comedies. The trailer seemed to suggest that "In Bruges" would of the the same genre. I see a lot of people disagree with me on this.

Let me just make a small correction to your statement:
​
>In Bruges is one of the great “dark humor crime comedy”
​
It is not a comedy. At least not in the way the trailer suggested it would be.

Fine, but my point is that the "In Bruges" trailer suggested that this movie would also be just that: a "traditional British crime comedy". Instead, it is what it is.

We are arguing semantics now. We have a different definition of what we consider "dark". Regardless, whatever "In Bruges" it wasn't what was promised in the trailer, and I am not the only one to think that. Browse reddit for "misleading trailers" threads and you will find this movie in a lot of them.

Yes, I wanted a dark humour wacky comedy. Like Snatch and the like. That is what the trailer clearly promises.

How was it humorous? It was depressing AF. There may have been a couple of weak jokes, but it was no Snatch or Lock Stock and Two Somoking Barrels. These two were dark, but they were also funny.

Not every dark movie constitutes as a comedy. It needs to be FUNNY to be a comedy. I absolutely don't deny that the movie is dark...it is just not a comedy in any normal sense of the word...particularly not in the way it was represented in the trailer.

I am not an American, and I am comletely unfamiliar with any of the actors. I was judging the trailer for tone and genre.

I totally missed the "humour" part. The movie was more depressing than it was funny - not a wacky comedy as the trailer promised.

I looked at rotten tomatoes and saw very high reviews. I naively thought that it means that the movie is all the trailer promised it to be. Alas, I was deeply mistaken.

I am not sure we have the same definition of the word "comedy" in mind. At no point did I find it particularly funny. Mostly depressing

Pardon?.. If I were judging this movie based solely on the trailer, it would have gotten the top score from me. The trailer was great...it is the movie itself that got me disappointed.
