Things you wish movies would stop doing

I'm going to have to say my first choice is 3D. I really just don't care for it. Sure I'll see a movie in 3D if its only playing in 3D, but if its in 2D and 3D at the same theater, I'll go 2D. Even though I see most my movies for free (friend is the manager of the local theater,) I still rather see 2D.
Other things I'd like to see stopped, some have been mentioned:
-Movies being made from old cartoons in the 70/80s. (Alvin and the Chipmunks, Yogi Bear, etc)
-First person/shaky camera, I don't like it in my video games, I sure as hell don't like it in my movies.
-Scenes that happen in darkness so you can't really see what is going on. I go to a movie for you to show me, not to invoke my imagination. I want to see people get their limbs severed or punched in the face, or whatever the hell is going on! Devil was the WORST with this. I shouldn't have seen the movie anyway but all the death scenes happened in TOTAL darkness.
-People not dying when they rightfully should have from being shot/stabbed/what have you. To quote Vegeta from DragonBall Z "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!?!"

Incredible was definitely Pixar, as was Monsters Inc. Open Season however, was Sony/Columbia.BlastedTheWorm said:
Reboots/remakes of already good movies. Friday the 13th was the only "reboot" I liked so far because it didn't trash the series previous films, just told a new story.
Ok... I'll admit I did like the reboot of Star Trek but at least they tied it into the originals, although I hate to see what will happen to Captain Picard because his facepalm is awesomesocks.

It KINDA did, but it was more Joseph Gordon Levitt's character (forgot his name) kissing Ariadne just for the lolz.GodsAndFishes said:
When all the protagonists are seriously f**cking dumb, as in "omg he's going to use that giant doomsday weapon to destroy the world". Really? Honestly? I had no idea.
Likewise for villains, e.g. when they build in a special weakpoint into every contraption they make - like the deathstar, with no real reason for it. The same thing also sort of applies when the bad guys have no reason to be evil, they just want to destroy everything - what do they get out of that?
I love how guns have no recoil, how sounds can be heard in space, how people who lift things with superpowers never sink into the ground, how love can bring people back to life, how people never check for a pulse when deciding someone is dead (they get back up afterwards), how writers never understand science, how...

Oh, and don't get me started on "good will always triumph!"...

One thing keeps annoying me above all;
The goddamn bleeping and blooping of anything technological, even normal stuff! It's ear-greating, makes 0 sense and adds nothing to the experience.

Rodriguez made one a while ago which was apparently pretty good.Casual Shinji said:

in every single film they try to incorporate a love interest, even when it doesn't even fit! you do not need a love interest in every film, it works fine without it! they can be friends, or never meet, or not like each other, it doesn't always have to be fucking love!
/rant over
3D, half-assed science
and trying to relate to me like that marshmallow faced kid from transformers
obligatory sex/love interest
Never mind I'm never going to the movies ever again

OT: Characters who have to give a death speech before they pass on. You've been shot and stabbed, yet instead of being dead when we got to you, you die seconds after finishing a really lousy speech.
Yeah, I saw it. It was trying to be like the original so much that it was laughable.Cowabungaa said:
The only reason to watch this movie is for drinking game purposes: Everytime it references the original Predator, you take a shot.
CGI in live action.
CGI is a great animation tool, but it's still animation, and the Star Wars prequels are still Roger Rabbit.

1. making " spoof movies" like meet the spartans,disaster movie,etc. ITS NOT FUCKING FUNNY!
2. people playing games like a retard (IE mashing buttons even though they are playing something like WOW)
3. re-releasing a old movie with added CGI (I,m looking at YOU mr.Lucas)
4. having 3D as its selling point (EVERY movie has 3D with a few exceptions)

No country for Old Men actually handled a lot of previously mentioned complaints very well, particularly this one.Nickolai77 said:

On topic,
I'm not bothered by the movie so much as by the announcements on the back:
'Two thumbs up' being one example.
Why do I care if some critics thumbs are up? 'Eff off!
