Went to a movie theater and saw a trailer for a movie where I was interested in the first 30 seconds of it, but the trailer then showed what looked like something probably from the last 10 minutes and spoiled the entire movie, so lost all interest.

So what movies come to mind as having done really good, where it makes you interested and gives you an idea of the movie, but doesn’t ruin any big reveals?

    Terminator 2. The trailer gave the impression that Schwarzenegger was the baddie.

      One of my minor cinema regrets is that I saw T2 before I saw T1, so the impact of the moment Arnie steps out of the elevator in front of Sarah wasn’t what it might have been. Still a great movie though, so glad I saw it in the cinema.

        By the time Arnie steps out of the elevator we as the audience know he’s a good guy.

          Yeah, fair point, you’re right - what I mean is that having not seen the first one, I wasn’t clear on why Sarah reacted the way she did.

          I think there’s maybe a wee bit of backstory and some photos of T1, but at the time I don’t think I had really picked up on that, so when she sees him and is terrified, I didn’t quite get it.

            Oh yeah that makes sense then.

            The whole escape scene with Sarah’s rollercoaster ride of emotions in it is one of the finest pieces of acting in cinema ever.
