As a little kid in the late 70's to around 1984, I could see a commercial for a film on TV (Alien, Superman, Friday the the 13th, The Jerk, Creepshow, Trading Places, Purple Rain, Blade Runner, etc.) and the visuals, the way it was edited, the quality of the film/camerawork, the music, the voiceover on the commercial would lead me to be have the feeling: "this movie looks mind-blowing!!!!!!" then, if I saw the movie, usually it would live up to expectations.
All I know, from 1985 to 1988, there was a lot of:
"the film quality/camerawork on this commercial for this movie looks kinda 'blah'"
"this subject matter of this movie looks kinda dull..."
"this looks kinda corny..."
and more and more commercials for films would give me an underwhelming feeling, but....since I liked movies I would go to the movies anyway, and....I usually in 1985 - 1988 didn't like what I saw.
