Recently there has been a bit of a spotlight on movie and film trailers. Why? Well firstly because of the Super Bowl Half Time show which featured many new and extended trailers for upcoming movies. And secondly, because of a news story that broke recently where cinema owners have asked for shorter movie trailers.
This raises an important question that we like to ask all movie fans - Do you watch film trailers? For us answers can fall into three categories:
100 % Yes - I make a point of watching movie trailers as soon as I hear they have been released.
50 % Sometimes - I am not fussed whether I see them or not. If one comes on I will watch it but make no real effort to.
0 % No - I make every effort to avoid catching a glimpse of a movie trailer. It gives too much away and ruins the film for me.
We fall into the first category. We love films. We love trailers. We will look for the latest news to see when a trailer is released to make sure we see it as soon as possible. However, we do know some people who are totally the opposite of ourselves and they will sit at the cinema with there eyes shut and hands over their ears during the trailers to make sure a film is not spoiled.
What are your views on film trailers? Do they give away too much or do you love them as they are? Does it matter whether it is a film that's not released yet? If the film has been out for a few years but you are yet to see it does it make a difference to you about watching the trailer.
Let us know your thoughts but commenting below. We will of course reply and look forward to the discussion.
