Really interesting that the start is basically saying “like the other movies, this probably won’t be well received initially, but years from now will be regarded as a masterpiece”.
So when the reviews or attendances suck, FFC gets to say “ah, but wait!”.
Preempting a poor reception in the actual trailer is wild.
It’s even more bizarre now, knowing that those quotes were completely fabricated.
Like if they were just going to make stuff up they could have gone much farther. “Ebert called the Godfather ‘the biggest piece of shit I ever saw’! And the Conversation? Pauline Kael said it gave her cancer!”

More so when they are cherrypicking bad reviews. Those movies were widely well recieved by audiences and critics and won several awards.
