I am trying to avoid watching any of the trailers and tv spots after watching the superbowl trailer. When the first matrix came out I only saw some tv spots and when I finally saw the movie I was blown away. I just want to make sure I don't see too much of it. Based on what I have been reading about the trailer it seems to be incredible. I am also trying not to see any x-men 2 trailers as well. Does anyone else try and avoid trailers so as to not spoil anything?

I havn't tryed to down loud it...because I don't care

jigga i am completely with you. i do this all the time. i don't watch trailer, tv spots, poilerific reviews, or previews for anything - movies, tv, books, etc. i find it really hard to do sometimes, though. while never seeing a tv spot or trailer for the matrix i know of some of the new characters, and the like. one thing i was really excited to see was a bus poster for x2 withon it. looks great! i do this with almost everything. i don't watch previews for upcoming tv shows, or anything. if i see something coming up on tv, i cover my ears and hum, mute and lookaway, or change the channel. i like my experience to be as clean as possible.

The Wachowski's are pretty smart guys, I don't think they'd let WB advertising destroy the secrets of the movie which they've been guarding so heavily for four years.

Besides, I watched the original Matrix trailer and TV spots like a mofo before the original opened and I still left the theater with my jaw on the ground.

I kinda pissed because I am already sorta ruined for the movie. I have seen and heard entire fight sequences (through my work), and am afraid that the movie will be no fun once I finally see it in the theaters. However, after seeing the trailer yesterday, I have a feeling there is quite a bit I still haven't seen.

Watching trailers and such just get me more excited. Especially for the Matrix Reloaded. I think this is the most excited i've ever been for a movie, simply because of the trailers.

The trailer wont give anything away. infact the brothers held back the Matrix SE dvd for the reason that it might contain spoilers. So I think it's safe to assume that the trailers were over looked and made to the needs of the brothers NOT trying to spoil anything

i did this with austin powers 3 because i knew all the good jokes woudl be on the commercial...everytime i saw it on tv, i would change the channel. tough but worth it.

I've also avoided the new trailer (unless they attach it to something I see before then!) and other stuff about it, because I too am very excited and don't want too much spoiled. Since I don't watch much TV to begin with, it's easy to avoid commercials, entertainment shows, and other potential spoilers.

I also tend to avoid Matrix threads here on DVDTalk, with one obvious exception.

I avoid all trailers, commercials, even conversations about movies that I am anxiously awaiting. I'm way too neurotic about it, as my friends would tell you, but i don't like for anything to be given away before i see the movie. I want it all to be completely fresh. i would think the filmmakers would want it that way.

The japanese trailer has spoilers.

Normally, I only avoid trailers for comedies... action movies I like to watch the trailers first.

i thought about this when i was mid way through watching the trailer. i agree that it can spoil things, not plotlines or anything but just some of the cool effects or moves. i think i'll avoid the trail for it as much as i can and hope i forget abit of it. as a side note, it took me nearly all day to download the thing on a cable modem and after all that i got no sound for it.

I avoid trailers as well, too much fishtailing unless you get the swaybars just right. Now I just crash in the back seat in a sleeping bag.




Oh... movie trailers

How the hell do you get excited about a project if you don't know anything about it?

If I didn't see the trailers, I would have waited until the DVD to watch the movie since I did not care for the first film, now I'm hoping for a midnight showing of the film just because of the trailers and TV spots which just blew me away.

I went to see anger management and didn't know the trailer was going to be one of the ones played and I ended up watching part of it. I tried not to but I couldn't help it.
