I agree that presentation is a large part of it. But, I still think that it's better not to know anything going into the movie.
I still enjoyed TWINE, even though I knew a great deal about it, but the experience is even better if you don't know as much going into the theater. I simply don't understand those fans who read the novel as soon as it comes out, and eagerly consume every morsel of info about the movie before entering the theater.
I don't see how those fans can enjoy the movie going experience as much as I do, because I am being surprised by plot turns on the screen whereas they evidently know the bulk of what is coming up.
I think I was somewhat successful going into DAD. I didn't know that Bond was going to get captured by North Korea. I didn't know which side Halle Berry's character was on etc, etc. Pretty much everything was a great surprise when I was sitting there in the theater, and the experience was better for it.
