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 basically don’t watch trailers anymore. I’ll read a synopsis and look at some aggregate scores.
Ideally though I’ll just ask someone I know for what they’ve seen that’s good.
The only time I watch trailers anymore is when I trust the people involved to leave me with nothing but confusion and questions. Like the Death Stranding trailers that Kojima puts together.
Basically all trailers in the last ten years. They reveal so much you are just watching a cliff notes version of the movie.
Been a problem for a few decades tbh
The worst is when you go see a comedy and the only funny parts were in the trailer.
Downsizing was a real bait and switch
Also, that couple second teaser before the trailer starts. Why do they do that shit now?
I know! Drives me crazy.
I saw Get Out without knowing anything about it. Very effective movie if you were expecting a romantic comedy like Meet the Parents, lol. If I’d seen a trailer I wouldn’t have been nearly as blindsided by the horror turn of events.
If I saw a movie titled Get Out, I wouldn’t be thinking romcom.
Oh yeah, it’s definitely a movie you should watch completely blind! I went in not knowing what to expect at all and felt delightfully unsettled throughout. I’m not sure how I somehow managed to avoid all the trailers 😂
The trailer for Green Lantern gave away the best parts of the show, but it wasn’t actually good. I saw the trailer in the theater, turned to my girlfriend and said, “I think we may have seen everything good about that movie.” Turned out I was right.
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.
I mute trailers and just watch the first 20 seconds to see if the film’s atmosphere matches my current mood. Haven’t had a trailer spoil the film in years this way
The two that stick out to me are:
-
Gran Turismo
-
Elvis
-
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?
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.
Lincoln (2012). They totally gave away how it ends.
You mean how he goes to see that play?
