I don't watch movie trailers anymore, maybe it's nostalgia but nowadays they are absolutely awful and full of spoilers, as if spoilers were a feature and not a bug. I guess it has something to do with how the movies themselves are put together. The use of stupid plot mechanisms such as "multiple dimensions" to be able to kill a character and then revive them again, or use multiple disposable versions of the same character for a few minutes at a time, etc. I guess if you don't care about such blatant cheating in the movie itself you won't mind a bad trailer.
That said, my approach nowadays is to consider watching a movie as a kind of risk-taking. I watch the movie without knowing or expecting anything; sometimes it will be worth it, sometimes it won't, but when it is, then DAMN is it worth it! On the other hand, if I watch the trailer then I know for sure that it will not happen. So... I take the risk.
