Parts in movies that you hate.

[Extra-Ordinary]

Let me make this clear. I'm not talking about a movie that you hate and it's worst part. What I'm talking about is that in any movie, good or bad, the part that you really don't like. Here's an example. I love zombie movies, but I hate the parts where one of the charactors gets infected. Because when that happens, it's ten minutes of nothing but the movie trying to make you feel sorry for the guy. I'm sure I'm not the only person who looks at these scenes and thinks: " Yes, we get it, he's got to die, it's all very sad, now just kill him so we can move on." I know that's not how it would go in real lif; but for me it's just a cliche.

So what about you? What movie parts/cliches do you not like? It can be movie-specific if you like.

 

[Best of the 3]

Usually while doing or just about to do something heroic, the male and female lead characters look at each other and say

"...I love you"


Bleh! Happens in quite a few movies I think. The only one I can think of though is in Star Wars, although I did let that one slide as I like Star Wars.

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!?"

 

[Timotei]

[HEADING=1]The "Checkmate"[/HEADING]​

You all know this moment. The bad guy has the protagonist right where he wants them in a position where they can kill them at any moment, and instead of killing them right then and there, they decide to take the time to enjoy the moment and talk to them in a casual and dominant fashion. Then because they decided to be a dick their plan backfires and they end up dead.

This is such a perfect example that it almost breaks the Fourth Wall.

[SnootyEnglishman]

The parts in most horror movies where smart people are the ones that usually die.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Every single second of Emma watson screen-time in any form of media beginning with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Before that it's not too bad)

Pretty much this. Seriously, it felt like a really cheap way to make it open ended. Shutter Island was a tad bit better at that, at least.

 

[Mr. Omega]

I'll go by genre:

Sci-fi: When they talk in techno jargon that they expect us to care about for 5 minutes. If they at least explain the tech, we may care, but if we don't know, how can we care?

Action: The slo-mo impact to show that the hit really f***ing hurt. Unless something spectacular, it wastes time.

Thrillers: The let-down moment. Y'know the moment when all the suspense is building, the music gets really tense, they turn the corner AND... false alarm. 9/10 times, this usually ends up just being annoying because we all see it coming.

Romantic Comedies: THE ENTIRE MOVIE. I despise this entire genre, and these kinds of movies need to stop being made! They aren't romantic, and they REALLY aren't funny! What's more, it's always the SAME F***ING MOVIE OVER AND OVER AGAIN! .../rant.

 

[Blemontea]

I hate that small part in All Quiet on the Western Front were NOBODY TALK IN A GERMAN ACCENT! Seriously, its the Germans pint of view, but they all talk in crystal clear American accents. The old man is the one that really gets on my tits, he has a some sort of new york style accent that really throws me off.

 

[Blue Musician]

Any part where there is kissing involved.

NEVER HAS THE FILM INDUSTRY KNOWN SUCH DRAMA OVER THE SPINNING OF A TOP!

 

[BenzSmoke]

When, in a horror movie, one of the idiots main characters enters that dark room where the killer is obviously hiding waiting to slash them up. They walk in and say something stupid like "Is someone there?" and BAM machete-ed!

 

[Zhukov]

The ending of Splice.

Subtlety. Done (sort of).
A villain so sympathetic that she isn't really a villain. Done.
Good characters. Done.
Interesting themes. Done.

Then the ending comes and... whoops! Let's throw all that out the window because it's monster time!.

Ugh. Dame shame.

-Forigners peeking English when their with each other and there are no English speeking people around. Why ?

- YOU HAVE THE GOOD/ BAD GUY RIGHT THERE. KILL HIM.

- Anoying sidekicks. Comical/witty/likable are goos. But there are acme charters where you know with no doubt that the writers wanted him to be annoying.

- Whwn the good guy get all morally and let's the bad guy live. Look at Batman. It would suck, but why wouldn't they just kill the Joker ? Like, at this point even Amnisty International would be like "just finish it". You know he will escape, younknow he will kill. Just end it. This applies to any moral goos guy.

- Bad guys that cant hit anything. Stormtroopers should be able to get close occasionally.

- Semi related to the above sentence, Godly main characters. Don't get me wrong. The good guy has to be better than the bad guys. But when you see main characters gettin shot in places that kill everyone else or being able to set traps our easily outsmart the bad guys. I want my main character to place challenges, nit just slaughter countless people.

-Ewoks.

 

[BenzSmoke]

-Snip-

Bathing with a revolver? What?!

 

[lightningmagurn]

Most parts involving guns. Movies never seem to get it right.

 

[Superior Mind]

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 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.

American Germans?

Guess that explains the British Russians in Enemy at the Gates then.

Lack of proper accents are indeed annoying. Keep on dragging me out of what would have otherwise been a really good film.

 

[Xardion]

The overly-dramatic 20 minutes kiss that everyone saw from a mile away.

Nobody cares that much about a romantic kiss in an ACTION move.

...Though...maybe it's a double entendre...hmm.

The good guy has to be better than the bad guys.

Disagree. I want to see a decent movie where the badguys unexpectedly triumph, AND it's not just a stupid sad moment.

There needs to be a balance of them, so you don't know whether or not the good guy will win, because if you go into it with the mindset of "Oh nothing's going to happen, because he has to win in the end" then there's no immersion.

And if one exists, don't tell me, because then I'd expect it. So it'd be pointless.
