Bad review spoils entire movie


There should be a spoiler warning on this review. After the first paragraph, this idiot starts spoiling the entire movie in detail so I had to stop reading. Why the hell do reviewers do this?

Not one single thing was spoiled in the review.

What do you consider to be spoilers?

For me, I had read a decent amount about the movie and seen all the clips and trailers, but the review included specific info about the fate of a character early on (how do you describe a spoiler without spoiling, lol?), so I think I'd count that. It was something I'd guessed would make sense, but I didn't know the method or other details.

everyone knows they all die and Franco is the first one to go. That's not a spoiler.

David vs Walter, not a spoiler [anyone can see that coming a mile away]

reply

I think the method is what people are thinking of as a spoiler because that specific info wasn't included in previous materials.

It's pretty easy to see the ending of this movie coming like before it even starts.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/fyYgj2Fpur0

Thanks, I'll see next week if it matches up with any of my ideas and suspicions. I tend to really avoid spoilers overall, and fortunately I'm pretty bad about predicting things, even in predictable movies. :-) The good thing is that I'm always surprised.
