Previews

I am so sick of previews that give away the whole movie! We saw the preview to Spiderman 2 the other night, and pretty much the only thing the movie didn’t tell us was how the last battle turns out, and we already know that anyway. It’s infuriating! Why do movies do this?

The preview shows us the romantic conflict (and how it’s resolved), the inner turmoil (and how that gets resolved too), who the bad guy is (and how he became the bad guy), what he does (and the effect that has on all the other principles), and how the final showdown is set up (and we know how that turns out). The only reason to go to the movie now is for the popcorn.
