I've been wanting to see the released footage of the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, compiled into supercut video, and luckily, YouTube user M1llion has done the job and uploaded the below video showing pretty much everything you'd need to claim you've seen the film.
This leads me onto another side topic, that being that the amount of footage released for upcoming movies is getting too much and the trailers are spoiling the film.
Throughout the production of Batman Vs. Superman, Director Zack Snyder has done the rounds and released multiple videos and pictures of the film, but a problem soon arose when footage was shown of Doomsday making his debut in the DC Cinematic universe and fans basically predicted the entire premise and outcome of the movie. Then, rather than try and keep as much footage hidden from the public as possible, Snyder tweeted and revealed further pictures and clips of the upcoming movie. The result of his reveals has done a good job of promoting the movie, but has it been at the expense of spoiling the overall experience of the movie? Personally I think it does.
But it isn't just Batman Vs. Superman's trailers revealing too much of the movie to audiences, as the upcoming Captain America: Civil War has recently made the rounds by revealing pretty much every twist and turn to audiences that haven't even seen the film yet, and I wouldn't be too shocked to see future images revealing the rumored death that is apparently occurring within the latest Marvel movie (for people who haven't read the Marvel Civil War comic story arc, Captain America dies at the end of the story... but don't worry he came back)
In my personal opinion, a trailer for a film should consist of no more than 20 seconds of film footage, but mainly feature a cast member or the director talking about the film and convincing viewers that their film is worth paying the Box Office fee. It would be such a refreshing break from the norm and would leave so much of the story of the movie hidden from the general public.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not my video.
