The trailer for the new version of THE WOLFMAN is a case in point. Way too much 
plot revealed, no matter how striking the visuals appear to be.

  I can't bear to watch trailers anymore. They say"First, they met, then they 
fell in love, they she found out she has cancer, and then he decides to steal a 
lot of money so they can have one last wonderful weekend together", showing you 
images from all these scenes.

  Who then needs to see the movie?

    The original US poster for THE WICKER MAN (the original one, not 
    the awful remake) showed the surprise ending.

      the other night, i watched for the first time, KIND LADY.  ....with the 
great ethel barrymore.
       
      afterwards, i did a poster search.  boy, am i glad that i didn't read the 
poster first.  the poster gives away the plot; the poster ruins the development 
of the plot....; would have ruined the first 25minutes, or so.

      agree?
       
      of course, hitchcock's THE WRONG MAN does this in the title.
