What movie trailer ruined the movie with how much it revealed?
I saw the trailer for “American society of magical Negroes” and it looked kinda funny in the first 20 seconds, then the trailer went on to show what I’m pretty sure was literally everything in the movie.
Are there any other trailers that made you lose all interest in seeing it because it showed literally everything?
I saw a version of the trailer for Split (2016) that revealed the plot twist. I was glad I already saw the movie, but my parents did not watch it because of that.
SPOILER ALERT Not that big of a twist (let’s say not the 6th sense kind), but the trailer showed the part at the end where the antagonist has his big transformation. And it was half the trailer. The whole movie slowly builds up to that moment, I thought it was a poor choice to show it. It made it look like half the movie was that when it is only the culmination of everything that happened before.
Terminator: Genisys has the big reveal right in the trailer. I think if they had left that out it could have at least redeemed that steaming pile of shit a little bit.
I was a kid when it came out and I’d never seen the first one by that point, but Terminator 2 did the same as nobody knew Arnie was a good guy in the second one until they spoiled it in the trailer.
Old trailers were either enigmatic and gave you the vibe of the movie or would just show you “hey, here’s all what this movie is about” and go over each major plot point.
i really wish i hadn’t seen the trailer for From Dusk Til Dawn. if you know nothing about the film, and have ever enjoyed a tarentino flick, just watch it blind, please.
The short episode summaries on Netflix that show before you watch an episode often spoiler the main plot or even the plot twist. I will never understand why they do that.
Astonishingly, the trailer for Triangle Of Sadness reveals a lot, even the whole timeline of the plot, while the movie achieve to surprise and astonish with how much more there is to it.
I was afraid I wouldn’t enjoy it because I somehow “knew” how it was going to end, but oh, my, that was only the surface and the craziness ran m7ch, much deeper.
I’ve stopped watching them altogether. I want to be surprised by the production design of the movie, the plot, the key moments marketing loves to spoil and so on.
I will read up on what people comment on the trailer but that’s it. It’s so much better to jump in fresh
Prometheus showed literally every good shot from the movie including the titular spacecraft colliding with an alien spaceship at the very end, but then maybe that’s ok because the trailer was much better than the actual movie.
As ridiculous as this movie was, I always thought that the trailer for Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace shouldn’t have shown Darth Maul’s double bladed lightsaber.
Yes, but that cool factor was more valuable as a marketing tool than a reveal in the film. It wasn’t a plot point so, I don’t blame them too much but it did reduce the impact in the cinema.
After that happened in the movie, I was angry that a big moment had been denied me. I basically stopped watching trailers of any film I intended to see that day.
People who are into movies say that the trailer is a part of the experience. But I’d prefer to go in completely unspoiled.
This happened for me with the scene in one of the new star trek movies where they play beastie boys while busting out of a cloud or something. Idk, it was a really cool scene, but I was mad that I’d already seen it in the trailer. It’s ludicrous. I still complain about it to my wife to this day.
I’m the same. If I know I’m going to watch some thing I don’t what the trailer. People get pissed off when I ask them not to talk about the trailer in front of me too.
