Trailer title cards

 

Ever notice that many of the move title cards on trailers are better than the actual onscreen title?  This happened with Atragon as well, since I have reviewed both of them recently (well, The Giant Behemoth is coming out later today).  This is a much cooler looking title that what appears onscreen.  Even Behemoth, The Sea Monster has a better title card.  This happens a lot more these days, as movies barely have titles, or are placed at the end of the film.  What the heck is that?  What genius thought that was ever a good idea?

There are a lot of great movie title cards. but sometimes the trailers just are better.  Granted, the trailers are generally made after the movies are finished (yes, except teaser trailers) so they have the opportunity to make things more exciting.  In fact, they were probably ordered to do so.
