We are not a movie guide, but an encyclopedia. There are a great many reasons why people might want to read an encyclopedia article about a movie. Very high among them is to find out about the movies one hasn't seen and never will.
If you want a movie guide to read up on whether you want to go to or rent a movie, there are more appropriate sources.

I'm not saying I'd rather have a one-line plot, I'm just saying that spoilers aren't that necessary. You go to the article to see if you go watch the movie, not to read it because you didn't get the chance to watch it.

Hey,
I have a question: Every time I go to a movie page to know how it is, I read the Plot section. However, I have realised that 95% of them write about key twists or scenes and they even tell the ending. I have thought of editing some of them, but I thought I'd rather ask here first.
Are movie articles supposed to tell you ALL the movie?
Thank you,

Yes, otherwise it would be like "Harry Potter is a wizard" you might like to look at [[en:wp:spoiler]] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spoiler
