Honestly trailers are why I'm not seeing it. With the massive spoilers I don't want marketers to have my money. I'll watch it at home later, but very upset with them. I know it's small in the grand scheme of things, but I'm very annoyed at them

When you can just watch a couple trailers and get all the major plot points, why waste the money?
