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.
