He's not wrong, but there a couple of problems:

A) Your average movie goer isn't capable of telling from a trailer if a movie is going to be garbage or not. Heck, your average movie goer can't tell from watching THE MOVIE if it's garbage or not.

B) Levi's last flick, while not exactly a hot mess, wasn't exactly great either. The Skittles product placement was 110% un-necessary and backpedaling to go "no, no, it's a family movie, see?" lowers the bar for family movies.

Just looking at this year, Cocaine Bear and The Machine probably didn't need to happen.

Um... You shut your mouth. Cocaine Bear was fantastic.
