Nevermind that the first 30 minutes are deliberately crafted so that you DON'T know that.

People still mad about T2 trailer?

Trailers only suck because crafting a good trailer has become a lost art.
They're so incredibly off base...never mind the fact that in 1992 people werent really bothered. Arnold as the good guy is why people want to watch this because they knew it would be different from the first one. It was the draw. It wasn't a big reveal. They built up until he showed himself...But it wasn't a huge twist on some Darth Vader s***. It wasnt a secret. Arnold as the good guy is why Terminator 2 was a huge success.People still mad about T2 trailer?
Cranston been shytting on that movie in the media lately
i'm trying to stay away from trailers these days, especially the ones over 2 minutes long. They should be limited to 60 seconds max.
Anyway, i'm hardly going to the theater these days unless i really trust the movie - i.e. writer, director, reading the plot.

They really hyped that as Heisenburg vs Godzilla. so when he got killed off in the first 40 minutes it was like
most interesting character dead before godzilla even made a appearance.
Yeah I watched the southpaw one and what it showed and decided j really didn't need to see it. I know the movie was gonna be bomb and entertaining but was mad as hell that they revealed that when not needed.
Terminator was just awful with the trailer, movie was great and the idea of them making John Connor the villain would of been a great reveal
Just seen this one for the Perfect Guy and legit gives away the whole movie like dude said above. Just spoiling plot point after plot point , scene after scene and there's a shot at the end that would of played well for thefactor but that's blown now.
Honestly surprised Star Wars hasn't been completely ruined by a trailer yet
I know EXACTLY which scene your talking about because the audience went NUTS at that scene. My thinking was, that would've been a nice shot to you know...SAVE for the movie since the trailer already went to great pains to show that ole boy is a stalker...
And the reason for Star Wars not being overly pimped is because of J.J Abrhams, any movie he's involved in has pretty good, but not overly revealing trailers (Cloverfield, Super 8, Star Trek) and he's already said that there will be no new footage released

And he's 100% right in what he's said about it
True about Abrams...even tho the "secret" of Cumberbatch's character was pretty terribly concealed lol

What about when you're at the theater watching the trailers before the movie?
I had the same feeling about the southpaw trailer. They ran the trailer before three different movies I saw this year so i couldn't avoid seeing it. When I actually saw the movie I felt like I saw everything important in the trailer..
I kind of feel like The Hangover was hurt by it's trailer as well. Imagine if you saw that Mike Tyson scene without any knowledge it was gonna be in there. Instead you had the tv Spots shown thousands of times throughout the weeks leading up to the release using that scene in every one of them.
