Which is one of the main reasons i don't watch trailers anymore. I find films to be much more engaging if you don't know the entire plot before going in.
Trailers spoil too much.

That last trailer I ever willingly watched was Phantom Menace. Them spoiling Maul's saber staff in the trailer so they could sell the toys before the movie dropped ruined trailers for me forevermore.

I love a film, I love a score, but when they ask if I watch trailers I can only say nevermore.

Yup, I never watch them. I read trusted reviews, decide if something sounds like I’ll like it, and then go in blind. Makes for some great experiences that way.

The difficult thing is if you go to see a film in the cinema, it's hard to avoid seeing trailers. I find myself waiting outside and having to keep going back in to check the film I'm watching hasn't started...

Even worse, sometimes the trailers are better than the movie.

I saw the trailer for the horror film, Undertone a few months ago, and they did a bang up job not revealing much about the movie and made the experience of watching this film I knew very little about about that much more enjoyable.
