From TMP:
Spoilers are a big deal in the film community, and websites the world over are adamant about keeping spoilers properly marked in order to warn those who don't want to 'ruin' a movie. But a new research study has discovered that spoilers may actually be good for you.
Death Whisperer Review: Nadech Kugimiya makes for a beefy protagonist in this horror movie that any and all thrills!
What Jennifer Did Review: Documentary navigates twists and turns of the story really well.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
I personally don't care if a movie is spoiled. On the whole, I'm more interested in how a film is put together and how it works on screen, than being surprised by the story.
I was pissed when my friend told me the twist about Christian Bale's character in The Prestige, only to be surprised by the twist of Hugh Jackman's character
I find it to be completely untrue that spoilers are not important. If that was the case, would 'The Sixth Sens'e be as good as a movie if I told you the secret beforehand? Or would it just take away the suspense and emotion from the film? Films wouldn't be as exciting if it just had advertised it's secret endings, there would be no 'wow'. But then again, that's only my view.
They've never ruined anything for me. They don't really tell anything about the actual story so that's what's important.
Spoilers of any kind piss me off to no end.
Someone spoiled the killer in Heavy Rain and it made that game boring as hell to play through because I knew exactly what was going to happen the whole time. How is that fun? Telling me who lives at the end of an action movie... how is that fun? I'm watching all these action scenes play out and I know exactly what's going to happen.
Totally ruins the experience for me.
