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.
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.

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.
I just look at posters now and see if lots people rave about it.

I remember feeling the exact same way for Fast 5.
