Parts in movies that you hate.

[CitySquirrel]

Any time, usually in adventure movies with a family-ish feel, when right at an extremely tense moment someone, usually the heroine, makes some stupid joke designed to make us laugh and alleviate the tension. It also serves the purpose of making the movie seem funnier because people tend to laugh at the unexpected humor. Nevertheless, it feels painful and awkward and I cringe whenever it happens.

Exemplified in Pirates of the Caribbean: "If you want to know pain, try wearing a corset". Even typing it makes me cringe.

 

[Tornd]

Whenever anyone says "NOOOOOOOO!" or "WHYYYYYYY?!" Cliche needs to die.

 

[Yureina]

Cheesy romance scenes. The "forced" dialogue and bad acting always makes me cringe.

 

[SnipErlite]

When the hero and heroine go in for that slow, inevitable kiss.

For fuck's sake, it happens in way too many movies. I want a film where not only do the main characters remain on bad terms throughout, the bad guys triumph in the end. *sigh*

 

[UltraParanoia]

Arbitrary love intrests. Put into pretty much every action movie made nowadays.


Yes, our hero just gruesomely eliminated a couple hundred enemies, but now let's make him awkwardly hit on or suck face with this hot chick for some reason.
E: Even worse, the tough hardass woman that gets thrown into damn near every genre that isn't a chick flick or a comedy.

ZOMG! space aliens! Quick, our hero isn't enough! Call STEEL VAGINA!

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

Thw 'downer' moment in comedy movies. You know everything's been gooing great it's all a good laugh but then the main character suffers a major setback, mostly in regard to the girl who no longer likes him 'cause he fucked up somehow, and the rest of the movie is him working towards confronting the setback and making it all right again for the big finale.

This part of comedy movies sucks because you know that the comedy part of the movie is over. I'm not saying that the movies would be better without it because story-wise it'd be a bit shit if it was just jokes the whole time with no story or development but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

That's one of mine, too.
Another one that I also forgot to mention is something I call "douch knowledge". You know, when the main charactor has to reveal something that they've been keeping secret for a while; and they present it in a way that makes them look *so cool*. I like the way they did it in "Back To The Future 2", where Marty just goes for broke and says "Your in a time machine."

I agree wholeheartedly.

A lack of character and plot development also wears on my nerves quite a bit.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

That part in Inception

Spoiler

At the end where it may or may not all be a dream.

That really felt far below the rest of the movie. It was like "C'mon, you're going to pull this cheap cliche after all that!?"

THAT'S NOT AN ACTUAL INTENTION OF THE MOVIE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A METAPHORICAL END TO HIS TROUBLES AND HER HAUNTING IMAGE IN HIS MIND. The dream is over literally because he isn't holding on to her in his mind, and also that his life is alright now. I'm sorry, but I'm oh so pissed off about everyone trying to make the best out of that single part of the movie when the actual deep meaning is the "simple" one.

Otherwise, any love subplot that seems shoehorned in. I love love subplots, but I detest the near-required love scenes that exist in every movie. If you have a movie that's going to delve into relationships and emotion to some degree, then fine. But if you're just sticking it in for the heck of it, it degrades from the movie; it's distracting, and seriously breaks the flow when the movie can't bring images back to what happened then.

As Yahtzee sort of said "What if in every movie, there had to be a subplot regarding line dancing?!?"

 

[AvsJoe]

I hate Hate HATE embarrassment scenes. They are most often seen in gross-out comedies, but the are known to show up in every genre. Any time a (usually innocent) character gets caught with his/her pants down (figuratively, but sometimes literally), I cringe and wait for the scene to end so I can continue enjoying the movie.

 

[Canid117]

Any movie where a supporting character says "If you kill him you will be just as bad as he is." I lose a huge amount of respect for the protagonist if he doesn't ***** slap the supporting character and say "He kills innocent people for bullshit reasons! I'm killing him because he is a bad guy!" and then shoots the villain in the head. Bonus points if they say "And where were your moral qualms when we shot our way through a hundred henchmen to get here?" after the villain is dead.

Well I feel that Inception was a movie that actually could pull that off without it seeming cheesy. I mean the whole movie is about dreams within dreams. Hell for the first half I was expecting Mal to be right and that they were really in a dream when they thought they were in reality.

 

[Nouw]

The Dark Knight scene where Harvey Dent is in a courtroom. I don't hate it but it's the weakest part.

 

[Citrus]

The Butterfly Effect.

The part where the protagonist is in jail and he lost most of his notebook. He has a page left and he uses it to go back in to to when he was a kid so that he can put holes in his hands and convince his cellmate he's Jesus.

That part ruins the entire movie for me, honestly. They just throw everything they established about how the time travel thing works, and about how one event can significantly alter the future, out the window. Somehow, him jabbing holes in his hands not only doesn't alter the future, but it happens in real-time and surprises his cellmate. What?!

 

[FalloutJack]

The Dark Knight scene where Harvey Dent is in a courtroom. I don't hate it but it's the weakest part.

Nah, man. That was hilarious.

For my money, I'm a little irritated that nobody in a modern day setting with zombies has SEEN A FRIGGING ZOMBIE MOVIE BEFORE. Think about it. A good chunk of the world has seen zombies movies where they are told {A} that zombies are not your loved ones anymore, {B} They cannot be reasoned with, {C} shoot for the head, and so on. Furthermore, we have the Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z on our hands. If we do not fucking PWN every zombie attack that EVER happens here in real life, I will be really disappointed.

 

[GrimTuesday]

I really hate those awkward scenes in movies, mostly be cause I run from the room giggling like a little girl because I'm uncomfortable.

Also the "Badass chick" that is in every single fantasy or medieval style movie. In a middle ages equivalent society women would never be allowed to fight... NEVER.

Just look at Éowyn from Lord of the Rings. She's fucking told that she can't go and fight but she does anyway. That coupled with the fact that she's a good fighter drives me nuts because from what we've seen of society in Middle Earth, Human Women don't fight. I understand why they do this but at the same time it really annoys me that they do it, can't they make a strong female character who doesn't go around killing the great evil's right hand man? It's not that I don't think that women aren't good fighters, it's just that in an era like that they wouldn't have been.

 

[onewheeled]

The scene with the eye robot thingies in The Island.

If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

I seriously cannot watch that scene.

 

[Tallim]

I hate when there is some sort of twist and when it comes the movie then devotes a whole scene to telling you how clever it thinks it is.

I also don't like that bit in most modern comedies that comes just after the beginning and ends at the credits.

 

[XJ-0461]

The Prince songs in the 1989 Batman film. They just don't flow that well with the rest of the film.

Plus... Prince music. Ew.

 

[Spade Lead]

Watchmen. The blue dong.

My girlfriend and I laughed because mine was bigger, and all we joked about on the ride home was how, if he was able to transform himself and be all amazing, why didn't he transform himself in that one area...
