As we approach the summer blockbuster time of the year, more trailers are being released. The whole point of the trailer is to catch the audience’s attention and to make them want to see the movie.
Unfortunately, movie trailers have become movie spoilers. These trailers are showing key plot developments or twists, which take away from the movie.
Take Vantage Point for example (if you have not seen the trailer or movie, read no further). I had not see the trailer before seeing the movie, but my wife had. I enjoyed the movie more than she did, and I was not sure why.
The reason was that in the trailer, you see that the President is not shot, his double is. I had not seen the trailer, so I was surprised when I learned this in the movie. 
We all enjoy watching movies, and not knowing what is going to happen next. So why do the trailers show, at times, the best part of the movie? I would like to see a return to true movie trailers instead of the movie spoilers that are now playing.
