If a movie can be spoiled by revealing a plot twist, it's not a good movie. There are a lot of great movies with great plot twist, but even if you know the twist, the movie is not ruined at all and is endlessly rewatchable.
This is why I hate mysteries. Like Murder on the Orient Express. The most interesting part is the ending and the rest of it is a forgettable man with a moustache talking to other forgettable people for two hours about forgettable stuff. The worst episode of Law and Order is better than any given mystery story.
It doesn't matter how good the movie is, knowing a plot twist takes away some of the suspension.
I never watch a trailer before I watch a movie. I'll read who the director is, maybe some of the cast, the short intro line, and the genre. That's it. Anything more spoils the fun. I can never go blind into a movie on a rewatch, so going blind into the movie on a first watch is the only opportunity.
