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.

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]]
