If, say, you were a big Hollywood producer, this should be a sign that your big-budget, super-action flick is in trouble- the trailer builds and builds to it's climatic moment and as the music rises, the masked super-hero pulls off his mask to reveal himself as........Ben Afleck.

And the audience roars with laughter.

Daredevil looks craptacular.

What movie did I go see that allowed me to figure this out? Star Trek: Nemesis. Look, if you're gonna remake Wrath of Khan, right down to the almost exact same final scenes (so obvious that I kept on saying out loud "don't say it, don't say it"), but do it without Shatner or Montalban, you should just forget it and maybe try and remake, like, Star Trek IV. Because it can't be done, no matter how many Shakespearan plays Patrick Stewart has performed. It was laughibly bad with such a huge ret-con of an ending that I'm sure the internet, as I'm typing this now, is almost bursting at the seems with Trekkies in fury over the huge lapse of continuity.
