    Dark Knight Rises was when I decided to start avoiding trailers as best as I can. They showed the best part of the opening scene, with the plane dragging the hull of the other plane through the air…

    I remember sitting in the theater that whole scene pretty much knowing what was gonna happen. And when it did, instead of being blown away like anybody should be, I had basically no reaction.

      You’re spot on. It was around this time where I stopped watching trailers/reading reviews.

      I now come into a movie with just a rough 1-2 sentence outline and if it’s worth my time or not. Been a huge game changer.

      They had released a sneak peak in IMAX of the entire opening scene a few months before release. Nolan does it for all of his movies. That scene was super well known way before the movie came out and was used to build hype.
