Films with powerful casting that didn't save the situation (15 photos)

So here are 14 times when the movie's posters and opening credits were much cooler than the movie itself.





Constellations of first-class actors do not always form masterpieces; you need to be able to direct these people, and a good script would also help. Big names can only attract viewers, but not satisfy them, and this is a dangerous game. After all, a discrepancy between the power of the cast and the overall quality of the project can hurt people even more than just a bad film with no names in the credits.

We remembered several films where there was a crowd of first-class actors in the frame, but which no one really liked or even turned out to be a real failure. To capture the contrast between stardom and the success of films, we will list the most famous actors in each project and indicate audience ratings.
