Well, again, going merely by the Darla example, that
was
surprising, happened earlier on, and is important to the tone, and absolutely can be left out in reviewing the episode.
Perhaps this reveal is different--maybe the review that didn't mention it sucked. Maybe the reviewer didn't think it was surprising. Maybe the director didn't think it was surprising, and there were no narrative, onscreen, or sound cues to that effect.
I think it's subjective that knowing Bruce was dead would ruin the movie experience--it certainly enhanced mine. But, damn, it was obvious the filmmaker wanted people to be startled by the reveal, so I let him have that revelation, and wouldn't spoil it myself.
It seems a pretty easy call.
OK, now I'm obsessed with this. One more review, that said, "I won't tell you what happens in the shocking opening scene..."
dang I went back and read the whitefont. Yeah, I wouldn't say that ruins the whole movie for me but I would have beeen annoyed had I read that review.
Ha. I just got the weekly EW mail, and it has these two teaser reviews:
The American George Clooney's assassin-abroad thriller gets off to a good start, but turns into an arty, meandering slog C
Machete This Mexploitation action flick ain't perfect, but at least it's not an arty, meandering slog B
I hope the success of
Machete
leads to
Werewolf Women of the SS
getting made.
I just saw the trailer for Machete. Holy shit. I am tempted! It looks completely beyond the pale.

If it's the trailer from Grindhouse, not everything there is in the movie.

For several years now, Point Blank and Deliverance director John Boorman has been working on a CG animated retelling of The Wizard of Oz. Here’s a video of a render test that has been carried out.
No word if Sean Connery will appear wearing a thong in this version.
