Yes, the trailers screwed up expectations without a doubt. But I think the people in charge also realised that as a social commentary the movie also does a poor job. If it did a good job at it why would it wrap it like this?
Well that was probably because m night can't possibly get one of his scripts done that doesn't have a "a twist". In the village this twist is heavily sought and I think that is what made movie goers boycot it in the end. Maybe people didn't understand but then again the movie had no real interest in being understood, it wanted to sell tickets and was willing to plagiarize itself to do so, movie goers don't like that.
I didn't go wild for this movie, but I also wasn't as disappointed as numerous reviews would have led me to think I would be. It's an average movie from a guy who did a ground breaking one, expectations are too high and people will be easily disappointed (look at star wars).
