Maybe it's just me but recently movie trailers have been showing too much in them. Many of the trailers show clips from the beginning all the way through to the end of the movie. The latest Wolverine movie trailer pretty much spoiled all the characters in it, showed what happens to Deadpool, and leaves me without much unshown.

Anyone else see this becoming all too common?

Yeah, trailers usually show all the good parts to entice the audience.

Look at Batman and Robin, the trailer. They used Danny Elfman's score in the trailer to attract the audience in. If they had used that dynamic, campy score, I don't think it would have worked.

One of the best movie experiences of my life was The Matrix. I went to see it with a friend and knew nothing about it. Never heard of it, never saw a trailer, nothing.

When the movie started I was amazed. It was nothing like I'd seen before and I couldn't believe how it snuck up on me. I wish I could get that experience back but trailers are all too prevalent nowadays.
