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?
The trailer for The Martian (2015) contained every plot point, including the finale.
The last Johnny english movie. It was just an extended Trailer.
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

To be fair the book also gave away the plot.
80s and 90s were basically fine. Early 2000s weren’t to bad but it was starting to get ugly. After that it has just gotten stupid.
And they’re speeding them up so they can cram more scenes in. I went and saw Godzilla X Kong and could barely keep up with some of them they were switching through things so fast.
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
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 😂
Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I’d had his experience.
It was an amazing movie with the twist given away in the trailer. I can’t imagine how much more amazing it would be without knowing the twist.
I’m eagerly counting down the hours until my kids are old enough to watch Terminator with me. Hopefully they can stay spoiler free until then. Luckily the franchise did everything it could to not stay relevant.
A friend of mine told the The Matrix was about a guy who could move really fast.
I was so glad he didn’t spoil it for me.
That’s a solid friend
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.
The twist is Shyamalan making a good movie again!
The worst is when you go see a comedy and the only funny parts were in the trailer.
“Oh that has funny jokes!”
“Oh… they were the only good jokes.”
Downsizing was a real bait and switch
Holy cow, yes. I didn’t hate the movie, but it definitely was not what was presented in the trailer.
More often in my experience, all the funny jokes from the trailer were cut from the actual film.
Basically all mainstream ones since the 2000s. Nowadays I skip trailers entirely to not spoil the movies for me.
Lincoln (2012). They totally gave away how it ends.
Did the trailer include the part where he was hammered to death during a play? Linking how it happened below. Pretty graphic stuff.
You mean how he goes to see that play?
Suicide Squad. 😢
I saw a trailer for this which I’m pretty sure contained at least 75% of the movie. I never bothered to confirm that.
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
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 new Arnie was a good guy in the second one until they spoiled it in the trailer.
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.
