I don’t know if I’m just wearing rose tinted glasses here but I’m sure film trailers are getting worse.
In the past couple of weeks we’ve had two trailers running for three minutes each, Fall Guy and Madame Web. What’s worse is that each of these trailers feel like I’m watching an abridged version of the film. They’ll be no surprises left. Netflix seem to be very good at this as well.
I mentioned the time because the rough average was around 2 to 2½ minutes long. It’s slowly creeping up.
All I want is enough footage to get me excited with a hint of plot.
The Force Awakens and Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning teaser trailers were fantastic for grabbing my interest without revealing what was going on.
Yes, I know I could just avoid trailers altogether but I’m weak willed, I like a sneak peek.
What do you think?
Terminator 2 trailers spoiled the twist that Arnold is the good guy.
So did Terminator: Genisys, the biggest plot point of the whole film!
