Well, my mother certainly did her best to "spoil" The Lord of the Rings for me, but due to my tender years and her rather unique explanatory style, the impression I got was that it concerned Bilbo's nephew running away to join a circus. I was really quite surprised when I got around to reading it...

I don't recall being spoiled for a LotR movie. I don't know if spoilers have that big of an effect if you've read the story some movie is an adaption of, Hannibal, Dune, LotR, etc.
