Ultimate spoiler

I'll tell you what the real spoiler is: Seeing the movie.... it gives away EVERYTHING!

I guess I understand why people don't want spoilers.. intellectually, anyway.

But seriously, do spoilers *really* ruin a movie? Are you not entertained because someone told you about a piece of the story? I mean, you know that there is going to be wookies and droids and the force... you know what you are getting into.

What about movies that do that whole backwards in time style that show the ending first?.... that is technically a spoiler, right? Yet it doesn't detract from the movie because it is out of context.

I mean, people still watch shows about WW II and we all know how that turned out... but it doesn't seem to make it any less of a good story...
