  I haven't seen any trailer of the movie (never watch those), but I could
imagine that a certain type of trailer which cherry-picks certain events
of the movie *could* give a rather false impression of the overal story.

  Just pick certain scenes in the movie of the type "hey marine, if you go
to their village, spy on them and bring back intel which will help us defeat
them, you will get your legs back", and then choose some scenes where he is
giving the intel, one could get the impression that he is doing it just for
the legs.

  Btw, did you watch it in 3D? It was the first 3D movie (of the modern type)
I watched, and it worked surprisingly well. Better than I expected.
