Parts of movies that make you want to scream

any action movie where they are racing a counting down clock and it must be the SLOWEST MOVING TIMEPIECE ON EARTH.
Best example: James Bond's Octo***** where bond has time to dress up like a clown, including complete pancake makeup when there are mere minutes before a nuclear bomb detonates. HOW!?!
ETA HA HA HA They sensored the movie title!0 -
the Star Trek reboot from a couple of years ago is illogical. some guy from the future sees his family killed, blames Spock, so he travels back in time many years in order to destroy Spock's planet.
why didn't he just go back in time a couple of months, leaving him plenty of time to prevent the event that kills his family? that way everybody lives.
makes. no. damned. sense.0 -
I know scientifically accurate movies make for boring plotlines but...

Maybe he overreacted because he was hangry0 -

Similarly, any movie where everyone is about die because the clock's about to go out and then people have time to makeout or give emotional speeches. The most recent example of this I can think of was Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises". Really Batman? GTFO and save the city. Now. Stop having emo-time with everyone.the Star Trek reboot from a couple of years ago is illogical. some guy from the future sees his family killed, blames Spock, so he travels back in time many years in order to destroy Spock's planet.

I've always wondered that as well!0 -

also, every movie ever where the protagonists outrun/outjump/outcrawl a fireball or explosion (e.g., in a cave, in an elevator shaft, in ventilation ducts, etc.).

Cheating. I HATE when someone takes a perfectly likeable character and make them a cheater (or have them try to make someone else cheat). Sorry, I automatically hate you now and you will not be able to redeem yourself, ever.
Ruined so many popular movies for me. The Notebook, Brokeback Mountain, Little Children, My Best Friend's Wedding, Etc.....0 -
Yes you should.Should I be ashamed I've never seen Jaws?
For me it's any movie I'm watching with my wife where she's already read the book. I want so scream every time I hear "That's not how it was in the book." I had to stop watching the Harry Potter movies with her until I read the books, that way she didn't complain nearly as much.0 -

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My ex used to get so mad at me about this!!!0 -
I hate unrealistic hollywood crap about guns or computers.
computers that do things no computers do in real life. Unix systems that can project holograms out their back port...etc..
Or people shooting guns in action movies. Like those idiots that always shoot a shotgun one handed with their arm extended out in front of them. Really? You like your arm dislocated at the shoulder do you?
Or silencers on guns that make a teeny little pew pew sound when they shoot. So obvious Hollywood directors have never seen a real gun.
Or making a movie adapted from a book and taking gross license with the characters. I can think of one book where a character is a gay male, and Hollywierd made the character a black woman. STOP SCREWING WITH THE STORIES I LOVE!!!!0 -
Or.. she couldve gone on the women and kids boat and he wouldve been fine. They could've hooked up in backseat of another car later. Also ... dropping the heart into ocean. Seriously? She first cheated on her man, effectively killed him heck list goes on and on. She was a trainwreck from word go.
Titanic, yeah. if she'd gotten her damn *kitten* on the boat, everyone would have lived. jack could have been on the floating door alone. So she pretty much killed him.0 -

My number one gripe about all the Marvel super-hero movies. Being a comic book geek from way back when, it kills me that they screw up perfectly good story lines.
Gwen Stacey was supposed to be on that damn bridge, not Mary Jane....AND SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE!0 -
I hated the movie Titanic.0

i just do not have the attention span to sit thru a whole movie.0

*ANY* movie where the characters use a computer. Quick ones that come to mind:
Every computer scene in "Hackers"
The little girl working the 'UNIX' terminal in "Jurassic Park"
The whole movie, "The Net"
YES!!

I am a nurse so.l..movies or television shows that inaccurately portray medical situations. Nothing specific comes to mind, but I used to go NUTS when watching St. Elsewhere, Chicago Hope, and ER. Great dramas, but some of the situations....not.
The worst....HawthoRNe. Awful, awful, awful. Jada Pinkett Smith's mom (who is a nurse) should have slapped her daughter silly for producing and starring in that trash. NOTHING in that show was accurate.
Edited to say, "Don't even get me started on Nurse Jackie. I shall refrain from commenting. :explode:0 -
I'm a Respiratory Therapist, so i'm like that everytime i see a medical related scene in a movie, my wife HATES me when that happens since I always point out what's innacurate :laugh: Especially about Dr. House where the Doctors do every single exams and there's no technician, nurses or anyone helping them, aaaah if life could be this easy :happy:0

OMG, I never realized that but you're right!
Whenever i go to the doctor tons of people do the tests and take blood and blood pressure but I only see the doctor for about 5 minutes. I guess it's not good TV if the nurse averts the crisis before the doctor gets to the room. :happy:0 -
When the stupid, freaking male/female lead is a complete moron but the love interest forgives them for it anyway.
I'm always like: Oh, well, enjoy your abusive relationship! Cheers!0 -
Movies that drag on, using scenery to fill up the time span. Legends of the Fall comes to mind. That movie could (and should) have been 90 minutes shorter. No, wait--it should never have been any length at all. Of course, that's just my opinion, and it pretty much goes for most "chick flix". I like movies with lots of action and good hand to hand combat.0

WAHAHAHAHA! 90 Minutes shorter... ehheheheh0 -

Right, and this pretty much describes Brad Pitt's character in Legends of the Fall. Moron, jerk, etc., but that girl still loved him. Is that stupid or what?0 -
I second the whole "Doc does everything, don't you worry about Allied Health, Medical Imaging, other specialists" topic. Drives me crazy!
I find it frustrating that when the villian has his/her minions try to take on the hero, but they 'wait their turn' while another minion is being defeated. Seriously, if you have an army of minions, wouldn't you tell them to go at the hero all the same time??? Take him down properly!!!
Oh, and horror movies when it's raining, the 'power goes out' or the 'lights are off and there's apparently no point to turn on a light', or even when the protagonist yells out "Hello? Anybody there?" Sure, the murderer is totally going to say "In the kitchen, I'm making sandwiches...want some?"0 -
Or how about this: the hero in the movie can pulverize every single muscled up, heavyweight, judo champion that comes along, but almost gets his behind pummeled beyond recognition by the 140 pound weakling mastermind villain. Really????0
