Sunshine was an incredible movie... But yeah the trailer.
The trailer for The Martian (2015) contained every plot point, including the finale.
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 never watch Trailers fully. Just 30seconds to get a feel of the movie.
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
The last Johnny english movie. It was just an extended Trailer.
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.
I just watched that a few days ago. What was the twist? There wasn't anything all that surprising to me as far as I can remember.
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.
Oh yea, that makes sense.
The twist is Shyamalan making a good movie again!
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.
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 thatβs ok because the trailer was much better than the actual movie.
That was such a let down.
I was hoping for a Director's Cut where it would make sense. Nope.
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.
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 is the day I stopped watching trailers, being denied that wow.
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.
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.
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.
I saw a trailer for this which I'm pretty sure contained at least 75% of the movie. I never bothered to confirm that.
The two that stick out to me are:
-
Gran Turismo
-
Elvis
They probably assumed most of the Elvis fans already knew his story. After all, can you really "spoil" history?
Suicide Squad. π’
Also, that couple second teaser before the trailer starts. Why do they do that shit now?
They put the video as ads., If people didn't skip it after that 2 second bit then the trailer continues.
explosion TRAILER random shocked face BEGINS dog taking a piss outside next to stuntmen NOW
Yes guys that's why I fucking clicked it, I know how the play button works you idiots!
I know! Drives me crazy.
For me it was Marvel Studios' Civil War.
Leaking Spiderman's appearance was too much. I don't watch movie trailers at all anymore.
Hulk in Ragnarok. Why?
Yeah, that would have been so much more fun if it hadn't been spoiled ahead of time.
