What makes you sigh in disappointment during films?

When a group of baddies could easily kill the hero but instead go to him one at a time meaning the hero takes them all out. Why don't they just attack at once?

Baddies die immediately (except the main baddy) while the protagonist's assistant/sidekick/whatever hangs on for ages. Usually in time to give a really meaningful last message which gives the hero the power to go and avenge his death.

I hate pointless romances. Most of the time the romantic interest just annoys me.
 
I hate that too. I caught a scene of NCIS a few weeks ago and they had to make the woman less beautiful or something, and the last thing they put on her was black glasses. No wonder kiRAB get bullied for wearing glasses or get called names by morons.

More celebs need to wear glasses please. :)
 
Mark Ruffallo showering in his swimming trunks in "Just Like Heaven". I was expecting to see something a bit more exciting!

Excessive violence annoys me as I don't like it.
Excessive shouting annoys me.
Excessive swearing annoys me.
Excessive use of heterosexism annoys me.

I was watching "Sweeney Todd" yesterday and I was appalled at the violence and the bad language. I won't be watching it again!
 
A few pet peeves -

People not saying please, thank you or goodbye in films, usually American ones. It's so unrealistic especially when characters are supposed to be 'nice' yet they appear to have no basic manners!

If someone asks someone out on a date in a film, they rarely exchange phone numbers ('I'll call you' is as far as it goes) or agree on a place, so how do they meet up?

People not turning the light on in a horror when they enter a dark room. And running up the stairs when pursued instead of out the door like any sane person would!

Characters using a computer but barely touching the mouse when furiously stabbing the keyboard will do. Is this still the 80s?

High school movies where everyone looks like a supermodel except for a couple of normal looking types (usually portrayed as weird outsiders) and the teachers. Especially when it's supposed to be an accurate portrayal of being a teen we can all supposedly identify with!
 
From experience,Americans don't tend to say "please" or "thank you"!

I had the pleasure of being with a Texan for most of July and he did not bother to say "please" or "thank you" at all! His favourite saying was "I want"!

I was disgusted!
 
Pet hate every horror/monster movie the killer/creature must die twice.
So it would be a real shock to the movie goer to end with death scene .......credits
 
I back this up. I was in New York for the most part of July and the majority of people are very rude.

I agree with the point about bad guys not being able to shoot in movies. It irritates me ALOT. James Bond manages to take on a whole factory full of villians with machine guns. Not ONE of them can hit him, but he manages to get rid of the whole lot with one loaded gun. How stupid are they - and how exactly were they hired for the job? This goes for Rick O'Donnell in The Mummy series aswell who never manages to get shot or hurt by the hundreRAB of villians but manages to kill them all in 5 minutes.

I also hate how James Bond doesn't feel guilty about killing the people who work for the villian. He kills about 20 people each day and doesn't he ever stop to think..."Why are they in this job? Has their wife just had a child and they can't afford to keep up living standarRAB so he was forced to join into this evil plot?!" - or something along those lines.
 
Any plot device that's just "too convenient" or too predictable. And cliches.

It's almost as if the film industry is appealling to American teenagers with a short attention span, who want one film a fortnight just for entertainment. Oh wait... :o
 
Isn't it usually the other way round?! See also the infamous 'L-shaped beRABheets'.

Female nudity is rare these days. The male arse however is virtually obligatory.

Any gratuitous nudity (of either sex) makes me roll my eyes. Such a cheap ploy - especially when the plot or acting isn't up to much.
 
Its funny how in action films they kill all the henchmen casual as you like, but when it comes to killing the boss there is hesitation and emotional conflict. The hero won't pull the trigger. No problem killing the employees though!
 
When a couple have sex and they still have their underwear on.
In a horror film and theres a death chilling noise that a couple of the characters must investigate instead off legging it the other way.
A 5ft 3 inch 8 stone woman taking on 20 6ft 3 17 stone brick houses and beating them all up without a mark on her :yawn:
 
I hate these sort of things in both films and TV.
You have a boyfriend and girlfriend/husband and wife etc, then say the husband/boyfriend is with another woman vis versa and the other person is doing something, then the bf/gf etc will only see part of it and run of upset and as soon as they leave we see what really happens, its often something like they were wispering something, hugging etc, but they are never kissing but the person seeing it only sees a little bit and the couple split up.

I hate it when that happens, i know this tenRAB to happen more in soaps that films but it still annoys me.
 
Whenever anyone goes shopping in a film, they will return carrying an over-filled brown paper bag (that's liable to split) with a baguette and something green and leafy sticking out the top. Do people never buy loo rolls or anything?? (Actually, does anyone ever go tot he loo in a film unless they've had their drink spiked with laxatives?):D

Also, I think someone has already mentioned it but it really annoys me when women in the movies go to bed with full make up on and it's still intact by morning. I, on the other hand, wash my face and use industrial-strength make-up remover and there's STILL normally some panda eyes going on by the next day.:mad:
 
when characters pick up their phones to call someone they never dial the number just put it to their ear as if it automatically rings the person you want it to

also poeple never say 'bye' they just put the phone down straight away, if i was on the phone to someone and they just put it down without saying bye i'd be furious
