All the Super Bowl LIII trailers, ranked

From 'Wonder Park' to 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,' it was a pretty bad year for film and football fans

Between Adam Levine's ugly-ass chest tattoos and a "Sweet Victory" tease that pissed everybody off at halftime and the Los Angeles Rams total inability to advance the ball in any meaningful way for 60 minutes of excruciatingly bad football (especially for fans outside of New England), it's pretty safe to say that Super Bowl LIII was a disaster on almost every front [Editor's Note: Except for, you know, the Patriots winning the Super Bowl].

Even the trailers, a bellwether as to the evening's overall health, weren't that great -- some were undercut by big releases a few days before, others were for movies coming out in a week or so, others were 10 seconds long and therefore shorter than the Rams' time of possession -- but there were some that still excited and inflamed passions of the film fans in attendance at parties all over the country. We've compiled every trailer that aired during the Big Game for you in this article here, and ranked them from worst to best, for your viewing pleasure.

Hobbs and Shaw

Here’s another problem: What do you do when you drop a Super Bowl teaser that’s only comprised of footage from the first trailer that you released on the Friday before the Big Game? Are you willing to risk that potential disappointment? The Rock was, which is why, content-aside, the Hobbs and Shaw TV spot isn’t higher up on our list: We’d already seen everything that was on display, and no matter how great or badass it was (and believe us, had a trailer dropped *after* the Super Bowl spot, we would have lost our goddamn minds), it still just kind of hit our specific party with a gigantic shrug of the shoulders, which is about as far away from the reaction you’d want from a new Fast and Furious preview as you can get. Still, though: Idris Elba has fucking super powers in this, so we are pumped for this motherfucker.
