    The trailer shouldn’t give the entire plot away

    Someone once told me that once you decide to watch a movie you should no longer watch trailers for it. My experience has been that it was a good piece of advice. It’s INSANE how much of the plot some trailers give away. I remember people put together the entire plot of Prometheus before it was released just from all the spoilers in the trailers, and that’s not even the worst offender.

      This is what I have always done. I have a very good memory, and I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been let down by a film purely because of the trailer(s) beforehand just exposing all elements.

      I’ve been doing this with games and movies for years. It’s so much fun to go into something blind with zero expectations, makes the whole experience a lot more exciting.
