Unrealistic things in movies that annoy you

[PFWilly]

And repeatedly racking the action.

And a cop pulling his duty weapon, and double checking to see if he has a round chambered.

Fire scenes where the firefighting crew enters a building, sees lots of fire…and no smoke.

 

[adlon]

Parking ... how the fck is it they always get a parking space right in front of the building?

 

[Not Normal]

Almost everything ever dealing with sound and recording is off, at best, and more often, wrong. An exception is the Dylan movie.

Another one that drives me nuts is how quickly people get around big cities. It's even worse wh

That it appears that nobody can make a good movie these days. Success/ failure hinges on the quality/ quantity of the CGI and or special effects and explosions you can squeeze into 2hrs.

Where is the dialogue, character interaction, plot and the 'OMG I didn't see that coming?

Do we have AI movies in a few years?

Hand to hand fight scenes. Even if you win, you ain't really walking away from that. Ever been in a fight? It hurts. A lot. It wears you out. Adrenaline high and low is worse than coming off a coke addiction. Last fight I was in it started 1 on 1, quickly morphed into 7 on 1. I was stabbed pretty quickly. Then shot. So yeah, it sucks.

I love me some CGI. Reality sucks for most of us. That said, there needs to be a solid plot and good dialogue.

I get it. But we want the hero to win, more often than not. So they can dodge bullets and kick ass. Even if it's not realistic. This is entertainment, not reality. That said, I love Val Kilmer's performance in Willow. The Princess Bride is in my personal collection.

... TIME TRAVEL.

Tell me you didn't like the Back To The Future series.

Tell me you didn't like the Back To The Future series.

Loved it...plot, dialogue, humour and some special effect (or CGI) where needed.

This reminds me of the bomb from Stargate-SG1 episode Failsafe. There were 5 wires and all yellow. Apprently it was a poorly designed bomb.


He'll yes. The couple have just had great sex and lying in bed, particularly the woman with some clothing still on.

Then she gets up and a wrap or gown is always within arms reach. I have never had to cross the room naked to pick something up.

Then be best bit, her hair is perfect...

Right. I forgot about the perfect hair part

So much to complain about, but I get especially peeved when characters are assigned to some government agency that has nothing to do with them. I.e., I've recently watched a couple movies where agents from the NSA (National Security Agency) are shooting people, arresting people, stalking people, whatever. The NSA, however, doesn't do that kind of field work; they're essentially a bunch of eavesdroppers and computer nerds who only leave the office for lunch or to go home.

And then there are all the CSI shows (OK, on TV, not the movies). Crime scene investigators are basically lab rats. They don't chase bad guys or make arrests. That's what the detectives do.

Car chase? Shoot at the damn radiator! They will lose speed or visibility pretty soon.

 

[patient1]

Bar fight? Don't swing at them with a cue stick, throw the damn balls at their head!

 

[Celand]

Sharknado 1,2,3,4 .... the most idiotic thing a human created...Testimony to human stupidity who watch this crap.

 

[Ramone45]

Shooting scenes where there are thousands of rounds fired by automatic weapons and Arnold doesn't get shot

Whether its tv shows or movies...
1. After the characters finish their "lovemaking" they just lay there...my wife would be crawling around trying to find tissues to bloat her used pussy before the cum seaps out

2. Cops/fbi see a suspect nearby and instead of getting real close they yell "police/fbi STOP" and end up in a running chase where one chases the suspect the partner runs back to their car and know exactly where to drive to smash into the perp

I was at a bar once where a dude grabbed a pool ball and I believe he kept it in his and and hit a guy in the head/face with it. I can't imagine how much that hurt.

1. Dude, grab the Kleenex or towel for her!

2. That drives me soooooooooo nuts.

The 90 pound actress holding up her arm and stopping the left hook of henchman #3 and he's 6'5 and like 260 brick shithouse built lol

I am so tired of all the CGI.

OK, there are situations when CGI is the only option. But so much of it is simply bad and stupid. I.e., the cruise missile scene in X-Men: First Class was incredibly contrived and fake, not to mention that it was set in a time before the Navy had cruise missiles.

Why do it? I've no doubt it's because a CGI team is much cheaper than hiring real actors, stuntmen and special effects people. And that pisses me off.

Or....women making love wearing a bra. I guess everything has to be PG so it can be sold or seen on Netflix/HBO in China.

 

[Niceguy2000]

Characters finding parking places out front.

Stopping the car and immediately getting out. What no putting it in park or removing the key.

 

[Tigersman]

Hospital scenes where the injured is in bed with the bedrails down. No self-respecting nurse would do this, especially if the person had suffered a head injury or was just out of surgery.

I dated a nurse for a short time and she picked holes in these scenes all the time. Even things I would never notice like the monitors do not match the dialogue.

 

[flameinsidesoul]

no one ever needs to pee mid-scene. Like wow, cinematic bladders are elite.

 

[razor33a]

Any building that relies on examining something only having one light on in the back corner. Shootouts, fights, and crazy car chases where nobody seems to notice or do anything.

Cowboy movies and everyone is clean. Button shirts are ironed

No one farts...except in THE best cowboy movie
