What movie trailer ruined the movie with how much it revealed? (lemmy.world)

I saw the trailer for "American society of magical Negroes" and it looked kinda funny in the first 20 seconds, then the trailer went on to show what I'm pretty sure was literally everything in the movie.

Are there any other trailers that made you lose all interest in seeing it because it showed literally everything?

Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I'd had his experience.

A friend of mine told the The Matrix was about a guy who could move really fast.

I was so glad he didn’t spoil it for me.

That's a solid friend

It was an amazing movie with the twist given away in the trailer. I can't imagine how much more amazing it would be without knowing the twist.

I'm eagerly counting down the hours until my kids are old enough to watch Terminator with me. Hopefully they can stay spoiler free until then. Luckily the franchise did everything it could to not stay relevant.
