What movie trailer ruined the movie with how much it revealed? (lemmy.world)

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?

As ridiculous as this movie was, I always thought that the trailer for Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace shouldn't have shown Darth Maul's double bladed lightsaber.

Yes, but that cool factor was more valuable as a marketing tool than a reveal in the film. It wasn't a plot point so, I don't blame them too much but it did reduce the impact in the cinema.

After that happened in the movie, I was angry that a big moment had been denied me. I basically stopped watching trailers of any film I intended to see that day.

People who are into movies say that the trailer is a part of the experience. But I'd prefer to go in completely unspoiled.

This happened for me with the scene in one of the new star trek movies where they play beastie boys while busting out of a cloud or something. Idk, it was a really cool scene, but I was mad that I'd already seen it in the trailer. It's ludicrous. I still complain about it to my wife to this day.

I'm the same. If I know I'm going to watch some thing I don't what the trailer. People get pissed off when I ask them not to talk about the trailer in front of me too.

This is the day I stopped watching trailers, being denied that wow.
