Do you watch trailers?

I feel like the only person who dislikes, and tries to avoid any trailer for films I know I am going to watch.

I think they spoil more than they should. Especially those small, funny moments.

Anyone else avoid them?

Ever since Johnny English, yes. I'm pretty sure that I saw every single funny moment from that film in the trailers.

I watch the first proper trailer for a film, if it's a film that I'm not sure about, then that's it. Too many follow up trailers are released giving more and more away.

Pretty sure I unwillingly saw the entire film 'the intern' from American tv ads.
Looked rubbish anyway.

Recent trailer trends are stupid, give far too much away. I presume ad companies have found that by giving more away then more people watch it or some nonsense like that.

As a result I may watch the teaser or a sub 2 minute trailer. Anything over that and I'll just read a synopsis and take a chance based on subject, director and cast.

I go to the cinema nearly every weekend so still see trailers, these days they do give too much away but some still leave a lot to think about i.e Star Wars trailer.

I hide away from traitors. In the cinema I look an idiot as I close my eyes, cover my ears and la la to myself so I don't hear it

Can't stand watching films without watching the trailer. Need to know what I'm watching and what frame of mind to be in. However I do agree far to much is revealed in trailers and far to many of them. We only need one per film. And don't stick the best bits in.

I hate trailers from the last 5 years or so, they reveal way too much. If there's a big film coming out in October, I will avoid the cinema from Jan until the release date to avoid seeing any spoilers.

I've been to the cinema a lot recently. But I just use the toilets when a trailer of a film I want to see comes on. Or I arrive just before the actual film starts.
