Also I'm not a fan because they are usually a reader's digest version of the movie and tells me way too much information. Instead of enticing me, they tell me more than I want to know at that stage.
Those are bad trailers. Good ones give you just enough. Comedies though are the worst for that - give away all the best jokes.

But the trailers that are more innovative in their approach are great.

As an example check out this one for a VERY under-rated movie, Strange Days.

Not a single scene from the movie at all. But it gets you wondering what the hell its all about.
