Yeah i seen it, in the countless trailers they released!

[Cosimo]

This doesn't bother me too much as i only ever watch the first trailer teaser for a big upcoming movie and then pass on the rest but if you were to watch all the trailers for say Iron Man there is a good chance you might have already seen all the good bits from the film. I can tell if a film is worth the watch from just the teaser trailer, I have no interest in watching 3 or 4 trailers spoiling the movie for me

[Natty]

Well I have developed a similar view so I purposefully chose not to view the trailers for The Dark Knight, simply because I wanted to see the best bits in the cinema, so yeah I agree that with watching too many trailers you can see all the entertaining parts of a movie before it is released, however, I find that the movie still doesn't disappoint in most cases (Star Wars Ep.3 being the obvious one).

Also, I don't agree that you can tell if the film is worth watching just by watching the trailer though, I was having this discussion with a friend a while ago and he said that he had no interest in watching Superbad because the trailers were shit, I said that the trailers couldn't show the bad language and toilet humour that the film is full of, but he still wasn't convinced (incidently, he tried to persuade me to go see Meet the Spartans with him a few weeks later:rolleyes:) also I remember seeing The Departed in cinemas and thinking 'this cool shit wasn't in the trailers!' but it obviously wasn't coz they couldn't show the cool shit. So yeah, depending on the movie the trailer isn't really much to on and the movie may still be worth seeing.

Yeah, Spider man 3 was ruined because of this, but it was my fault for watching the damn trailer too many times:p

These days in my old age I can always tell if a film is worth watching from just the teaser, Im not speaking for everyone. Before the trailer is released in pre production like most peeps the main catch is the director, writer, story and cinematographer. Now when the Coens went through their lets make mainstream rubbish with LadyKillers and Intolerable Cruelty the trailers were enough to prevent me from paying to see them both. After the initial teaser trailer for TDK which was pretty outstanding i also refuse to watch any more and i have no idea why they would want to show more. It got everyone worked up into a frenzy right there dang it

Personally, I think that the ammount of preview clips that've been released online in the past few years is far,far worse than 3-5 different trailers. Seriously if it's not "8 exclusive new clips from..." it's "watch the first 20 minutes". It's getting really fucking annoying. Granted I'm not forced to watch these clips, but I still think it's terrible marketing.

Ha! I thought the exact opposite regarding Star Wars episode 3.

[APzombie]

Spider-Man 3 disappointed because it was a pretty shitty movie all around. Not because the trailers spoiled everything.

At least to me anyway.

I enjoy trailers, and I don't think that they reveal too much. Yes they show a lot of action in them, but I enjoy movies for more than the action: the characters, story arc, development. I want to know how characters got to where they are and why sometimes. Most trailers are two and a half minutes . . . they don't give away too much of what's going on in a 2 hour movie.

[God of War]

Over the entire pre-release time before "300" got its cinematic release, I must have watched the trailer/s at least 100 times. I studied each and every single frame almost. The main trailer I'm talking about with the 9 Inch Nails song playing. I then saw more clips etc. But this didn't spoil the film for me. It just made me more hungry to see it. And as RED said, I also really enjoy movie trailers. Some are put together better than others. But what I think spoiuls or shows too much is when they release the first few minutes on the net. This is a big NONO in my books. And people can't help themselves. They want to see those few minutes. That's another reason I firmly believe that the internet can ruin alot of stuff for people, not just movies, but games etc.

Has anyone been watching the tv trailers for Baby Mama? Normally, comedic trailers are funny the first time or two you see it (if even that for some) but then get old. It seems with this movie every other day I see the same trailer for Baby Mama, and now it has swapped out one scene for a new one. So almost every time I see the trailer it has a new joke.

I don't know if the movie will be any good at all but it sure keeps it entertaining, yet not too spoilerish.

[CyclicNightmare]

This reminds me. I always get a little upset in comedies. If there is a great joke in a comedy, it'll get used in pretty much every trailer. Which is fine, I'd rather they use the same joke over and over and not spoil all the jokes in the movie.

But then when the movie finally comes out, and that scene comes up. It still gets a huge laugh in the theatre. And I always think to myself, Why are you people laughing? Haven't you heard that line 1000 times already? Do you laugh every time the commercial comes on TV?

The only example I can think of off the top of my head is from Knocked Up. "Don't let him near your kid, he wants to rear your child." Funny line. In every trailer. Huge laugh in the theatre. Hmmm....

[Spidey]

In the 'superman returns' trailers I really thought they left out all the good money shots, but when I saw the movie I was a little dissapointed because the airplane crash scene had the most action and we saw most of that in the trailer.

Something that's truly funny will continue to be funny even after you've heard it once.

Otherwise what would be the point in even having comedy movies if you can only watch them once and then toss them away?

It can be true that if something is funny then it becomes less funny upon further hearing...especially if its the joke itself that is in question, kind of like how a mystery doesn't have the biggest replay value because you already have the surprise ruined. On the other hand, if its the delivery that is the funny part then I could be in stitches even on the 20th viewing. Dave Chappelle could deliver the eulogy for my mom's funeral and I'd laugh my ass off every night watching the DVD.
