The first part of the trailer made it seem pretty interesting. Then all of a sudden huge plot twist is revealed. The 'vessel' was actually a real person who was killed or captured or whatever...
shareWhile I agree with you in principle, it's still possible to be surprised. Who was Ryan Reynolds originally? Was he perhaps somehow related to Kingsley? (doesn't look like it, but it's possible)
Oblivion was a movie I thought was completely spoiled by the trailer, yet still had a few surprised in store.
Frankly, I'd still be interested in how they play up Kingsley's character - how credible is it that someone with that kind of wealth would actually be outraged that a "regular person" had to die to give him life? Sounds cynical, but with the Koch brothers raised to settle their disputes with actual swords, it's harder for me to imagine the wealthy and powerful actually having a conscience.
But while I agree with you, the hard truth is we take these chances ourselves when we click on those trailer links - we know the risks, we can choose not to watch.
And if revealing too much were really driving down sales, they'd stop doing it for sure.
Judging by your question this is something you've become accustomed too. My advice would be maybe to not watch trailers.
shareI saw it while watching tv. I had no choice.
From the people that brought you Olicity comes Eddie Spivot.
There's a thing called a mute button. There's also a thing called changing the channel.
shareI don't have ADHD, I don't keep my remote control in my palm. By the time I would have reached it, the trailer would have ended.
Waiting for Season 3 of The Flash.
So get of the couch and walk out of the room for a second. It's not unavoidable. You're just making excuses.
shareThen I miss the show I'm watching. No thanks.

You miss the show you're watching by leaving the room for a minute to miss a trailer? Come on. You're just too darn lazy. You're probably one of those people that blames the world for your problems instead of taking responsibility for yourself. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't watch the trailer. Your excuses are just that... lame excuses to try to victimize yourself.
shareSo, I'm supposed to see a trailer. Run to the tv, turn up the volume, so I know when it's over in. Then run out of the room and then run back in. However, hearing the trailer is as bad as seeing it.
How about producers get their act together and stop ruining movies with spoiler trailers instead?

Or keep the remote within reach and hit the mute button. Or leave the room for about a minute and come back. Get up and walk around during the commercials and get off your butt. Instead of being a giant, whiny complainer, take your life into your own hands instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. Or you know, don't put so much stock in something as trivial as a movie trailer.
sharejen_78 : it's not just about the remote .
sometimes i would to know what is the movie look like to deiced watch it or not ,
but trailer ruining the important things in the movie , you feel like you know now everything important will happened so it's disappointed .
Stop saying dumb things for the sake of saying dumb things. It's not the spectator's responsibility to stay on their toes, all amped up and trigger-itchy on the remote just to avoid some of the stupid s__t the studios sometimes put out. It's also the studios' responsibility to stop putting out stupid s__t.
shareis he a whiny complainer or are you just a bitch
trailers should not give away the plot
of corse the people who make the trailers are part of big business and have lots of money so you take their side and line up to suck them off
Trailers last 2.5-3 minutes usually. Just come back in 4 minutes.
Also, on that note, how far away do you keep the remote that you can't reach it in 3 minutes?
You should do what I am doing these days. Turn off the trailer after the first half.
Although if you get it fed to you at the movie theatre, I guess there is little hope sadly.

If it's something that happens 20 minutes into the movie it's not a huge plot twist. I'm pretty sure that the moral dilemma, of finding out some other man's life was stolen from him so that it could be given to you, is the central premise of the movie. I also think most people like to know that much before they buy a ticket.
shareI'm gonna predict the rest of the story now: Old rich guy feels bad about taking young guy's body when he finds out young guy was still alive and had a family. Old rich guy finds a way for young guy to get his life back but in order to do so he has to die, and have young guy's consciousness return to his own body. Meanwhile douchey corporate guy tries to stop this from happening since he struck a deal with shady people to get young guy's body, but he fails and old rich guy succeeds in sacrificing himself. The final shot is of young guy reuniting with his family and they all lived happily ever after.

Maybe it's gonna be young guy Vs old guy for survival/control.
shareOr maybe old guy assumes young guy's life, returns to wife (and kids?) and try's to make up for stealing daddy's body. Gotta agree though, don't see the ultra rich having any qualms about murder. After all where's the crime? Old rich guy signs off on and readily agrees to mysterious experimental medical procedure that results in him being in a coma or dead. No complaints from the younger volunteer who was paid by the rick guy to participate expect for some memory loss(so he says.)
We are long overdue!
They didn't give it all away. They didn't elaborate on what problems exactly are being faced by the protagonist when he is in Ryan Reynolds' body.
shareThey didn't give it all away.I disagree. They even painted out the end. Reynolds character can take the body back over. So there's the whole ball game
Sometimes I wonder how they made trailers in them olden days. Trailers nowadays are often designed to be bigger and better then the actual movie to get you to see the damn movie, and that apparently means running through most of the bloody plot, including some supposedly major twists.
sharecan you stop giving away the entire movie in imdb comments?
anyway, you've never seen a tarsem singh film, have you? because there doesn't even need to be a plot and you'd just stare at the screen drooling for 90 minutes. i mean, unless you like transformers, in which case you should probably just go watch transformers. but if you like good movies, well, any two minutes of them even taken in order throughout do not ruin a good movie.
you're actually upset about all these bad movies coming out that rely on some tiered hinging mechanism to shift course in order to keep you engaged for the full running time, but too stupid to appreciate actual quality cinema and thus part of the problem. so you come on the internet to be a passive-aggressive *beep* because there's no actual solution to your problem.
