My problem with them is when the spoiler message comes at the start of the plot synopsis. Sorry but there should always be a spoiler-less opening paragraph explaining the plot as described in the film blurb (or whatever). Otherwise they lose their purpose.

Can we get rid of spoiler warnings for plots in novels, movies, etc.?
I doubt anyone cares (and doubt that they don't know) that King Kong falls off the Empire State Building, or that Darth Vader is Luke's father.
Another reason...the infinitely wiser Germans have sensibly gotten rid of them and for good reasons.
