I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.
One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.
I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone’s tastes to make a “trust me”-style recommendation like this.
All of them. Fuck trailers that give away major plot points.
Though trailers being free and giving away all the action and plot is awesome when you lack money to see said movie. It’s basically a super condensed version that they just give away! I’ve seen 19 movies this year and it only took 26 minutes and $0.
*only kind of a joke
you know you can always sail the high seas instead of begging for movie scraps
Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders?!
(but yes)
I stopped watching trailers about a decade ago now.
Sometimes I watch them after and they never cease to amaze me in how much they spoil.
Agreed. Although I still like trailers to give me an idea of the general vibe.
