I think movie trailers reveal too much about the movie, and oftentimes trailers for horror movies give away some of the "scariest" parts. However, I do see how they are necessary, as they let the audience know what the movie is about. Does anybody else feel this way? How can movie trailers give less away, but still tell viewers enough about the movie to get them excited?

Keep in mind that often times there's scenes in a trailer that don't even show up in the movie. Unless you see it on the special features portion of the DVD.
I think they do a good job at teasing us just enough.

Not always. When Kangaroo jack came out I had no interest in seeing the movie (based on the trailers) but my son made me take him to see it anyway and the movie didn't suck nearly as bad as the trailers made me think it would. I think the people releasing the trailer should take a good hard look at what they are letting out, so that the trailers actually reflect the movie in its entirety instead of just one segment that had little to do with the rest of the movie.

I wish trailers were more creative. In the trailer for "Psycho," Alfred Hitchcock appeared on camera and gave viewers a tour of sets from the film, only ever alluding to what happened on those sets. No clips from the actual film were ever shown, and it just made you want to see the movie right away! Today's trailers need more of that kind of imagination.

Normally no, however I have seen a few trailers which seemed to include all the best parts of a movie: top special effects, etc. When you go and watch the movie, you are surprised that what promised to be breathtaking, appears to go at a moderate pace at best. But the movie people are happy - after all, you have paid for your ticket already.

I think they give away enough so the people can decide if they'd like to see it or not. Unfortunately, lately a lot of the trailers have been better than the movies.

at least 3 out of 10 movies a trailer tells me every major plot point in a movie and nothing is suprising at all.
1/2 the movies trailers i see still show way to much or even show clips of the very end of a flick in them

For a lot of movies all you need IS the trailer.
They're SO crappy, why would you WANT to waste an hour and a half when you can find out before hand that the movie is crappy?
Trailers are fine the way they are. Stop Hatin'!
