If the audience needs a pre-requisite in order to understand a movie right off the bat or to like the trailer, well then the filmmaker has failed, at least in the eyes of the viewer. Maybe you're not getting it. No one is saying you need to read the book to understand the trailer or movie. No one is saying that you need to read the book think the trailer looks cool. The problem is ppl are down playing the whole thing based on a trailer that they say doesn't let them understand the story or why the fans are so exicted. First NO trailer depicts the story of the movie aside from the basics like that its an action or drama and perhaps some minor character and story monments. Secondly is read the fucking book and you'll understand why we are so excited, end of story. This isn't directed at anyone in patricular, not even KingofKings2525, but i and apparently others get pissed when ppl say something sucks and either know dick all about it or very very little and yet expect to understand.
