When is too much...not a good thing (may contain spoilers...)

So first of!!! Hi and welcome to my blog.

Right now that I have been pleasant to you all lets crack on...( I have to be nice...I am not a fan of this)

Movie T.V. Spots and trailers: Are these a good thing?

Of course I hear some of you scream…well not scream as you can’t over the internet but for the sake of this blog let’s just say you did and move on (good). Well I agree a good trailer maybe even two is great for teasing the crowd and getting them ready for the upcoming film. Let’s take Captain America as an example; we are after all on a comic book website so I am going to roll with it. How many of us got excited over the first trailer, I for one did when I so Dum Dum on screen and was like “Damn this may actually be good.” So then the 2 trailer comes out and OMG the cosmic cube. So by now we have almost all seen the trailers right?

No!!! Then good for you…get off this site!!

Anyway now we move on to TV spots where we see a group of people discovering Cap in an ice block, we see the comsic cube in action and I start to wonder, is an over two mins Trailer too much and that added with the TV spot has it actually taken away from the film? Did they need to show us Howard Stark, Dum Dum and the cosmic cube. Or could they have just left those nice little tid bits out so we get the shock in the cinema and think while we are watching it “Damn they actually added that in good on them” instead of us now all knowing to expect this! Does this take away from the thrill of discovering this at the movie! Will it take away knowing about all this beforehand losing the shock value?

They could have easily made the trailers still appealing without having to add those small parts. Hell have the bits with his change the training field and throwing the shield! But keep out the little bits for more of a punch at the cinema! I have seen a lot of films do this recently and I can’t help but wonder do they think this is a good idea? Captain America was always going to pull people in to the cinema, was there a need to give so much away? I personally think that this over sharing is getting a bit to much and we may end up going down the route of dare I say it...G.I JOE…Gasp shock horror!!! Where the movie sucked…It did stop deluding yourself…you know who you are! The lead up to it was covered in Ads tv spots trailer after trailer and where I hope (know) Captain America won’t suck (okay it might..but not as hard as Joe) I can’t help but feel the weight of an overbearing press campaign with to much info flooding the world. So is to much a good thing..in this case no!

What do you guys think?

Also Stay classy Comic Vine

No!!! Then good for you…get off this site!!

@Final Arrow: You know my theory babe, if they show you too much then it tends to be a vision of a sh*t film.

Well there's always the option to not watch the trailers.

Silence with your logic...I SAY SILENCE

Well there's always the option to not watch the trailers.

I just wan't to point out the idea of a trailer is to try and get the viewers to watch the film! I love watching a good trailer, but sometimes you get to much info and it gets to the stage where whats the point of seeing the movie as all the shock value has been taken away.

@hydrabob: and stay out

Heh, you should watch the Batman & Robin trailer on Youtube (yes i know, horrible movie, bat nipples, bat creditcard :P) but that trailer tells the ENTIRE movie. You simply don't need to watch it anymore.

Well I would like to say that I am not interested in watching Captain America but I do agree that sometimes trailers do show too much. And even though I think that MR has a point about the movie probably not being good, I would like to stay positive and say that there are more awesome things in the movie that people still don't know of.

@texasdeathmatch: What I was saying is not that trailers are not necessary, I just think that often things that should be kept out are often thrown in for no need. I mean do you think that a film like captain america needed to reveal, the cosmic cube. the howling commando's. I understand Cap in Ice as well that's a key thing in his story. But I think there is enough that could have been shown with some clever editing without showing some of the more bigger things.

@texasdeathmatch: Like making Green Lantern 2...Ohhhhhh yeah i wen't there XD

IF THE ADS FEATURE BACON THEN I WANT THEM TO BE EVEN LONGER.

@Amazingoctus: Don't deny the greatness of a Bacon Ad....

I'm sure it was already said, but the Cube was already shown prior in Thor. The usual lead in to Marvels next film.
Marvel movie wise spoilers don't upset me personally. I wouldn't be watching trailers in the first place, much
less be online and on CV if I didn't enjoy them. Though I can somewhat relate to your dilemma. I've sometimes
been able to figure the plot of the movie before seeing it just by snips in the trailer, and it upset the chances that
I would have seen it in the theaters, and instead waited for it to arrive on DVD.
