I too was a Serenity "virgin" up until premiere night. I saw a few of the commercials while sci-fi was running the series and but that's all. It was more than worth waiting for.

You know what sucks? I know this isn't Firely, (which I seen with no spoilers), but I read only the Hobbit growing up out of all Tolkien's books, and seen the cartoon 'Lord of the Rings.'
All those years and I don't know how the story ends, but after seeing the film Fellowship of the Ring; some dude tells me how Frodo gets his finger bit off, and Golem falls into the fire at the end of the last book. This was after I asked him to not spoil the story. Grrrr!

Of topic some I know.

Man I hate those jerks. I have friends who like to sit there and tell you the whole movie. But I avaoided Serenity spoilers like the plague. The only spoilers I got were from the trailers.

See, lots of people think they were unspoiled. But it's like The Sixth Sense. Lots of people thought they were unspoiled but then claimed they worked out the twist ending before it was revealed. (Bruce Willis is a ghost by the way. Yeah, you really should have seen it by now.)

There have been dozens of forums posts with suggestive headers and of course there has been an absence of posts with headers suggesting something diffent.

I didn't have that. I went to the first preview screening that they held in the UK about seven months ago. I had no clue what it was going to be about. I knew reavers. I knew they were all back. I'd seen a couple of production photos. That was it.

I watched it with no spoilers, truly no spoilers. Blew me away. Absolutely blew me away.

Likewise. I avoided the boards for quite a while, because even the "non-spoiler" threads talking about the preview screenings felt like they veered a bit too close to the edge to me.

I did know this: that there was a "big spoiler" out there, and that it was bad rather than good. I suspected the general nature of the event, but didn't know anything more than that.

Then I saw the movie. When what I'll call "surprise #1" happened, I thought, "Oh, that was the 'it' I've been worrying about."

And then I relaxed. And then "surprise #2" happened, and I just sat there for the next several minutes with my mouth hanging open, watching the screen but not really catching what was going on. Can't...believe...what...did...I...just....see....?

I am now a solid convert to the "no spoilers" school. Wow.

Ugggg. Surprise #2 ripped my heart out, stomped it into the ground and chopped it into tiny pieces. I saw it spoiler free on Oct 1st, and I'm still trying to put the pieces back together. I don't know if I could watch it again.

Me and my girlfriend saw an advanced preview last night over here in England and all we'd seen was the trailers and a couple of tv interviews that were no way any type of spoiler and both our hearts dropped and were shocked, still are, at the movie.

But that aside from that, the movie was amazing, makes your heart work over time and is a real seat ballancer act but its worth seeing.

I bought the British version of the official movie magazine last week and my girlfriend deliberately hid it from me because we both knew full well that i would read it and be either disapointed, shocked, thrilled, saddened, happy, histerical and every emotion under the sun, so i was 'forbidden' to search for it and read it.
However, now ive seen the film, i can read it and read the spoilers etc.

Just hope she gives it to me cos i havnt the slightes idea in hell where shes put it.

Kudos to all the posters on this board, I was Big Spoiler free when I first saw the movie at the Premiere on 22 Sep. In fact, I was so Big Spoiler free I didn't even know that there was a Big Spoiler.

I watched this site in the week leading up to the US release on 30 Sep and I didn't see anyone divulge any Big Spoilers. I think this shows a lot of class.

Many years ago, a person -- after I explicitly told him not to -- divulged to me the Big Spoiler in "Alien". May he burn in that Special Hell.

Same here...no spoilers at all. Don't watch much TV, so I never saw the trailers/ads. Didn't come to the boards until after I saw the movie. I went into the theater (second ticket purchased in my area) completely untainted and anticpating an exceptional entertainment experience!

Oh well...At least I wasn't spoiled :)
