Paranormal Activity 3- trailer vs. actual movie
Just returned from a late viewing... The movie succeeded in keeping me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time. Every time it gets really quiet and still (especially when people are sleeping of course), you're preparing yourself for something crazy to happen. And you're anticipating things you've seen in the trailer and commercials. Well most of them never happen!
I did like some things about the movie (for one, I thought the little girls were really good) but when it ended DH and I were like, "What about this? What about that?" I thought maybe I was going crazy and remembering the trailer wrong or something. So as soon as we got home, we looked up the trailer online and our mouths were just wide open as we really realized how many things were shown there but not in the movie. I still want to see that movie. 
Re: Paranormal Activity 3- trailer vs. actual movie
Spoiler Alert...Just to be safe!
OMG! I feel like we are sharing the same brain or something haha. My DH and I also went to see it last night and when the movie ended I said the same EXACT thing! Where was the little girl standing on the balcony in her room and jumping off?? Yes it was a 'jumpy' movie, but I was not impressed with the story line compared to the last 2.
ETA: The part in the trailer where the two girls are in the bathroom saying bloody mary, then they turn on te lights and someone is standing in the bathroom...Where was that??
YES!! Both girls doing bloody mary was the big one that we talked about on the way home. And the balcony jump plus mom watching that on the tapes and freaking out. AND.. remember in part 1 Katie mentions losing their first haunted home in a fire? There's a brief flash of a fire scene in the trailer... no fire in the movie. The man that comes to help and gets slammed into the table... Nope. When little Katie tells mom Toby is standing next to her.. that happens but did throwing the water and mom grabbing her happen? Not sure about that one. The mom being thrown back into the bed when she says they have to leave... I don't know, when we re-watched the trailer afterward we lost count of how many things weren't shown.There is even more than what we've said here.
You know how often the best parts of a movie are shown in the trailer... I feel like that was the case here only we didn't even see them in the movie. So weird!

You're right almost the entire trailer was not in the movie. I personally think this is going to lead into a fourth one to complete the cycle, which I don't know how they could do it but I would still go see it. My FI is convinced that those scenes from the movie are going to be in the director's cut/version or that they will all be deleted scenes. It was a creative way to surprise the audience but I am still pissed that NOT A SINGLE thing from the trailer was in the movie. Plus their plot while intriguing was complete off from the last two movies. I wanted more so badly. Everyone in our theater, every last person sat until all the credits rolled through and the screen went blank because we all were like "That's it?"
On a sidenote I spent the entire first part of the movie going "I wanna live in that house" next to FI. I loved that house so much.
DH said the same thing about a 4th movie. And we liked the house, too. The girls' room was too cool.

Now I am going to have to go watch the trailer again!! There was the fire that was in the backyard, that's it. Also, for being the reason why they were haunted, the grandmother was not in the movie a lot. I don't know, the story line just seemed kind of thrown together.
