Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Unpopular take, but I like theatrical previews. They're like bonus mini-movies, similar to the shorts before Pixar films. (I hate spoilers so this opinion only applies to movies I wasn't planning on seeing anyway, however I'm not much of a cinephile so that ends up being most of them.) Also it's nice having a buffer for any latecomers to get settled before the feature film starts.
I liked them until they became so full of spoilers, now I actively avoid them. It would have been so much cooler if I hadn't known Spider-Man was going to make an appearance in Civil War.
Trailers have been full of spoilers since at least the 1930s.
That's why it's a mini-movie, you probably don't need to see most of them if the plot can be fully developed and resolved in 2 - 4 minutes.
It's not so much the trailers that people complain about, but all the ads.
They're basically all the same. I also saw dune IMAX yesterday and was very annoyed at sitting through 30+ minutes of ads.
They all have the exact same "epic" music, tone and pace. Non of it was creative and bored the hell out of me.
Dune pt 2 was amazing through, I recommend.
I like trailers and previews, but at home while wearing overly revealing shorts. That's the ideal clothing.
