Your Movie Pet Peeves

[BlackWidow]

Clerks is probably my favorite comedy.

Dumb and Dumber is mine

[MagicHero3]

gotta go with anchorman. greatest movie ever.

I forgot...in a zombie movie the sheer number of bullets that go wasted by people pumping bullets into the non-head parts of the body.

How the "good guys" are always better shots with a pistol than the "bad guys" are with rifles.

Watching Casino Royale and they have a fully automatic nail gun in the scene where the building sinks. I've seen it in a fair amount of movies where someone uses a nail gun like a real gun, it's just ridiculous. Someone should maybe just ask a carpenter a quick question on how a nail guns work. Drives me crazy. And unless you are point blank , it really won't do all that much damage in the first place.

I hate a certain style of fighting. Its everywhere now, but to give you the best example its the Batman style. It made sense for Batman but I don't need every 5 to be shot from .2 feet away so you can barely see whats going on. It was at its worst when Bay tried to pull it off with 50 story high buildings.

I HATE when kids just magically know everything in a horror movie. Why would it make sense that the kid just knows who some evil spirit is and its entire backstory through intuition or whatever non-sense. And its so overdone.

And last but not least I hate the movies where some good or bad is soo smart that they have plan that requires their opponent to get the upper hand as part of the plan. I thought the Joker pulled it off well in the Dark Knight, but in movies like Skyfall if you really thinik about the bad guys plan, right down to getting to the tunnel and then being their just in time to have the train be passing just as he detonates the bom to open the tunnel, ridiculous. I am fine with suspending disbelief and or believing in luck etc etc etc but to be so lazy about a master plan that it requires that level of luck and hinging entirely on things that you can not even plan on controlling even with luck is stupid.

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. DDL character in the Last of the Mohican's was suppose to be white, no? Same goes with Cruise in the Last Samurai.

What I think he is trying to say is how you can't have a movie about foreign people, it has to be a movie about how white people are better at being those things then the people of the cultures they come from.

Movie pet peeves for me are what's been mention:

-Always having a love story of some kind
-Dialogue picking up where it left off in different scenes/locations
-Endings that are cop outs of what would be an otherwise great film

I agree with those.

[netsgiantsyanks]

excessive predictability.

We'd end up with a movie like Clerks lol

clerks is ****ing hilarious. my interest and talent in writing might do the trick

[Kid Fabulous]

When you have a Brit playing an American. Or a Chinese person playing a Korean. Etcetera, etcetera...... stuff like that makes me mad. You can find someone to play that role that actually is a person from that race?

Last of the Mohicans?

[rapjuicer06]

I really hate when the bad guys give away their ingenius idea then die or get arrested. Scream did it in all of them. They always give their damn motive. In all the Die Hard movies...basically in a **** load of movies. It drives me nuts. Who gives a **** why you guys are doing what your doing.

When slutty girls are "virgins." Gtfo with this ****

Well, the reason Scream did it in all of their movies is because every Scream movie is a satire. Thereby, they took a satirical approach to horror movies. Thereby, they poked fun of the soliloquy that happens in the end of thrillers and horror movies. So I don't understand why you're complaining about a movie that is basically poking fun of exactly what you're complaining about.

Another pet peeve of mine is when people can't differentiate between satire and serious films. I guess that's considered a movie watcher pet peeve.

lol who gives a ****? Not everyone studies this. And how do you know they "poke" fun at it? It's done in a **** ton of horror films. Its very annoying. I was pointing out an example of it being done. You're such a tool

[cubbie92]

I tend to get annoyed by action heroes who manage to kill everyone in their path with as little as a scratch, Taken 2 being a perfect example of that.
