whatever happened to leaving a little
something to the imagination
just relax let your mind go blank
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
trailers that ruined the movie Thank You
Jana for this list we’re looking at
feature film trailers that revealed so
much about the plots of their respective
films that seeing the full-length movie
was basically just a formality every
living thing that crawls flies or squats
in the mud wants to kill you and eat
your eyes for jujubes number 10 avatar
the concept is the growth of remotely
controlled bodies without the toxin
of the negatives you’d think that for a
movie that’s almost three hours long a
two minute trailer wouldn’t make much of
a dent well you’d be wrong you give me
what I need I’ll see to it you get your
legs been your real legs yes though it’s
basically Dances with Wolves aliens
edition we still would have preferred a
little mystery I knew this would happen
first was just moves everything changed
not to say that it actually mattered
since the film went on to win all kinds
of awards set all kinds of records and
makes sad sacks yearn for the neon
paradise of Pandora
avatar in Clinton
number nine the negotiator we all know
that the point of a trailer is to detail
the events leading up to and including
the climax of the movie oh is that not
how it’s supposed to work well clearly
whoever edited this sneak peek missed
that memo as we see samuel l.jackson
deal with the pressure of being framed
in a really aggressive way well at least
we get a good glimpse of that wig I work
for the CIA now the director asked me at
the last minute to come with him to
Russia to do a nibbler armes inspection
that is so lame number eight the sum of
all fears you get to Russia and America
to fight each other and destroy each
other this trailer could have ended a
minute and a half in and remain true to
the plot of the book while dealing with
the aftermath of an explosion is the
theme of the novel the trailer seems to
blow its load prematurely so to speak
at least we get to see Ben Affleck yell
into a cellphone for 30 seconds the sum
of all fears you are a very funny man I
enjoy your movies and I enjoy all of
your movies much movies the ones where
you try to kill Bruce Willis number
seven funny people it’s very hard to be
romantic with women when you live on a
pull-out couch once those two little
late come down you know it’s alright
comedy trailers usually stand to benefit
from only having to show a few hilarious
highlights just to whet the viewers
appetite what they typically don’t do
however is to reveal what’s going on in
the entire film blow-by-blow I’m dying
it’s too early to know who’s winning the
fight the medicine of the disease
maybe the editors were secretly trying
to tell us to skip this one I don’t want
to get your hopes up but we may have
beaten this thing the doctor said I’m
not sick anymore yes sorry go ahead
number six the island attention
residence
– the lottery spit while there’s no such
thing as too much scarlet Johanson there
is such thing as too much information I
think they’re gonna kill you kana yeah
no ice no island getting TMI from a
trailer can lead to symptoms of
disappointment discouragement and an
overall sense of on me if only there was
an island where we could clone happier
healthier versions of ourselves that
hadn’t had the entire plot of a Michael
Bay film and fed to us by an overly
generous trailer is something there’s an
island the fate of the world will soon
be decided number five the Lord of the
Rings the two towers if you hadn’t read
the j.r.r tolkien series prior to
watching the first movie it’s likely you
were silently weeping into your popcorn
when Gandalf bit the big one your
foolish
apparently the filmmakers wanted you to
stop your crying with a Gandalf
resurrection appearance in the second
installment but at least I guess they
waited till the end of the trailer to
ruin it for you I come back to you now
at the turn of the tide number 4 Free
Willy
imagine if the only person who know how
you felt was a boy who felt it too in
case you were wondering
Willy escapes the greatest adventure of
the summer wouldn’t have been nice if
that little detail were discovered after
the audience had watched the movie
clearly someone thought it was best to
depict a Cliff Notes version of the
movie just in case the audience wasn’t
into the whole killer whale in captivity
thing jokes on them because everyone
loves killer whales we also love it when
the trailers don’t wreck the happy
ending Free Willy number 3 Terminator
Salvation would be funding a long time
the interesting thing about plot-twists
is that they tend to work better when
the audience can’t see them coming and
then is Marcus right thank you you
unfortunately this particular trailer is
built around the main plot twists of the
movie with the main character being a
terminator a better trailer would have
been the audio of Christian Bale’s on
set freako but one can only dream on the
only hope oh good for you
number two castaway while it was cool
watching Tom Hanks go from White Collar
schlub to Paleo diet success story
seeing the end of the film in the
trailer makes you wonder why why did
they slap his return to civilization
into the end of the trailer we had a
funeral coffin what was in it were these
two minutes too depressing for the
audience to handle from what we can tell
it looked like an epic vacation but what
do we know we’re just white-collar
schlubs
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions did you really
think you could steal from joe miletto
this is just a big misunderstanding we
are Phil and Claire Foster god no he
turned it sideways killshot
unfortunately she did die right I says
what can I go talk to her mr. mas your
wife is dead what are you talking about
what happened to us you had an affair
with a girl who killed herself and now
she’s trying to hurt you
oh my god entire time she’s hunting
herself
you’ve been looking for catches a long
time haven’t you and now I found them
what seems so it’s the night of the
senior prom number one carry everybody
is there even Carrie White
the absolute best part of this trailer
is the voiceover that lets you know what
the audience is exactly in for the girl
with the strange power if I concentrate
or know I can know things clearly things
work differently in the 70s but this
seems far above and beyond the call of
duty
she’ll be voted queen of the prom it’s
one thing to make vague allusions to the
plot but to actually give a full rundown
of the movies high points seems a bit
excessive at least we were made aware of
John Travolta’s filmography starring
Sissy Spacek Piper Laurie and
introducing John Travolta in his first
motion picture role
do you agree with our list what trailer
do you think ruined the movie for more
entertaining top 10s published every day
