Actually, lately movies in general have been predictable because Hollywood keeps using the same format for stuff. A lot of comedy movies, family movies, or animated movies aren't just worth watching because they are all the same. 

As far as plot twists go, I also think that too many movies try to have plot twists, that way they makes themselves "unpredictable". But honestly, if you are telling the story well enough, or present the audience with a couple different possibilities for the ending, It won't be predictable. Even if the ending is predictable, the audience should still be on the edge of their seat trying to remind themselves that: 

[i]"The main character isn't going to lose, this is a kids films! Of course the bad guy isn't going to win, the movie isn't going to let that happen!"[/i]

Even though that is probably true, a film that builds suspense well enough will make you forget that no matter how many times you remind yourself. 

Take "Toy Story 3", for example
[spoiler]Of course they aren't going to let all the toys burn in an incinerator, but everyone felt that suspense the movie created. [/spoiler]

Or "Raiders of the Lot Ark"
[spoiler]Obviously he is going to get the "magical box of whatever the heck", or the "voodoo rocks of somestupidthing", because its an Indiana jones film. Regardless, the very first time a person watches the one of movies, they usually lose themselves in one of the fight sequences. [/spoiler]

So basically, you don't need a "[i]HUGE SHOCKING PLOT TWIST[/i]" that can be easily spoiled on the internet, you just need a well made movie. Plot twists are great, don't get me wrong, but there are way too many of them these days. 

Also, If it is a good plot twist, yeah, I think spoilers suck.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Wait! Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's Uncle?!!! NOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!:o 

I really don't like spoilers, but I also don't like allusions... Like when a friend starts saying something like, hey, guess who dies in this season of "such and such". And then I'm on edge trying to guess who the heck dies. Allusions aren't worse, but they kind of spoil the experience by just knowing that ""something" is going to happen.

But I usually figure out what's going to happen in a story pretty quickly, like Justin Kidden said, most material is quite predictable.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[i feel like people blow spoilers way out of proportion like. oh my god my life just ended because you told me darth vader is luke skywalker's uncle or whatever the hell

like idk. they dont bother me, i try to avoid them when i'm excited for something, but i dont really mind because i usually judge things for the actual content of the story and how it's presented and the way they get to the "surprising" plot points

tbh so much stuff nowadays feels really predictable i really dont care about the plot points i care more about the way its executed]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Spoilers are nasty little things, aren't they?  Some things I'm not concerned with it being spoiled.  What happens to the ring in the Lord of the Rings, the familial relationships in Star Wars, those are all things that I feel are ingrained in our culture so much that it's not really a spoiler even if you technically tell them before they see the movies.  IF they see the movies.  

For movies based on books...I think it's a bit different if the books have been out a fair amount of time, I'm not as concerned.  I feel it's almost unfair to expect people to not say any spoilers about a really popular book that came out 3 years ago because the movie just came out.  It'd be nice, but no biggie.  

When people spoil Marvel movies that's just horrible!  No, but seriously.  Some stuff I'd say is almost common knowledge if it, say, happened in the comics 40 years ago.  It's like oh...well we all knew it would have to happen anyway.  
[spoiler]I'm looking at you, Amazing Spider-man 2[/spoiler]

Most character deaths spoiled are just cruel (except for the exceptions above). 

Y'know, I think we should just get rid of the freedom to be able to talk about movies at all on the forums.  Take that away and we don't need to worry about spoilers as long as you never leave this site, how's that sound?! 

[quote=Galactic Films]But I will probably know everything that would spoil Star Wars episode 7 three months before the film comes out. :lol:[/quote]
How, pray tell, will you manage that?]]></content>

But if it's a film series like the Marvel films YES don't tell me how it ends!!!!!!!

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Max Butcher]I would rant about it, but A) This isn't the place to do it, and B) [url=http://www.surefish.co.uk/culture/features/pullman_interview.htm]Philip Pullman summed up my critique perfectly.[/url] (Ironically, the link contains spoilers. Don't click if you haven't read [i]The Last Battle[/i] - or if someone like me hasn't told you what happens at the end)[/quote]

Fair enough. I won't further this discussion, other than to link you to this (admittedly rather long) [url=http://www.planetnarnia.com/assets/documents/74/Lewis_and_Pullman.pdf]response[/url] to the criticisms of Pullman. Though I get the impression both of us have made up our minds!

Interestingly, the guy who wrote this also wrote 'Planet Narnia', which reveals a secret code behind the books- each related to one of the Medieval heavenly bodies.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I know I'm weird, but I often ask people for spoilers about movies I haven't seen because if it is an action-adventure film, I may know it will be a long time before I will have a chance to see it, and I am too excited and impatient to find out what happens in it.  If it is a drama, I ask for specific information because I am worried that something is going to happen that I hate, like a child getting killed.  In a mystery, I don't generally want to know what will happen because that defeats the whole purpose in watching a mystery; however, I don't get worked up when a mystery is spoiled, just disappointed.  The point is, I enjoy the whole movie experience whether I know what is going to happen or not.  

I would NEVER[i] intentionally[/i] reveal spoilers to anyone without his/her permission.  That is unbelievably rude and, in my opinion, done so people feel they have power over you.  They feel control because they have upset you.  Either that or they are the most clueless people in the world, but even clueless people should be able to control their tongues when they are told that what they are doing upsets you.]]></content>
