20 Things That Ruin Movies For All

“Whispered dialogue, ear shattering action sequences”

“When it’s so dark you actually can’t see what is happening. Also characters that’s mumble their lines. Drives me nuts”

“That all the major issues could be solved by a simple conversation but instead “No, I dont have time to explain”, leading to force conflict from misunderstanding.”

“Forced romance. Sometimes movies don’t need it and that’s ok.”

“Running through wilderness in heels for the majority of a movie. IRKSOME.”

“I watch movies with subtitles. When they speak a different language and it just says “speaks foreign language.” Especially when it’s not just a few lines, but actual dialog.”

“Sex. No seriously. When I see a movie labelled “Action/Thriller”, I want action or thriller. I do not want the undercover spy to start diving deep inside some random girl who may or may not be involved in the plot.”

“When there’s a scene that’s just advertising a brand.”

“Characters that are brought back alive just to keep the show moving”

“Breaking the rules they set.

The Walking Dead did this so blatantly, that I couldn’t watch it anymore. First season: Walkers can smell us so we have to cover ourselves in rotting meat to escape. Second season: Oh that hoard of Walkers can’t smell us with this car in between us and them.”

“When the two main characters fall in love quickly, especially if they start out hating each other. Most recently: Jungle Cruise. It would have been a good movie without them falling in love. They could have just been friends.”

“Heavy makeup and perfect hair. How am I supposed to enjoy a post-apocalyptic movie when the lead actress looks like a beauty pageant contestant? Drives me insane.

God this is season 2 of Witcher! Was watching it last night with my partner and we kept commenting on the pink lipstick someone was wearing. It kept pulling us out of the moment, which was driving me mad.”

“Firing more ammo than the gun actually holds without reloading. Car keys in sun visors. Hacking a protected computer system in seconds.”

“In superhero movies when the balance of someone’s abilities constantly changes.

Especially in fight scenes when a character could end the fight in 2 seconds but that doesnt allow for an epic battle scene so instead that character just randomly decided to avoid using their most valuable abilities.

This completely takes me out of the moment.”

“Background actors in fight/war scenes waiting for their turn to attack the main character

Throne room sceen in star wars 8. The red guards just keep spinning for no reason or obviously miss their hits on purpose. Its so dumb.”

“When they repeat the same sentence 2-3-10 times in the story for no reason, just to have a kind of motto.”

“Trying to explain unexplainable things with quantum mechanics, nanotechnology, worm holes, etc”

“When you know an actor was chosen for the role for their fame and not for the casting.

It’s getting more and more commonplace too. Especially with movies put out by streaming services like Netflix just jamming celebrities in to get more viewers. I just watched Don’t Look Up yesterday and Ariana Grande felt force fed to the movie audience any time she was on screen (Kid Cudi was a bit too but he’s not as recognizable as Ariana).”

“Cringey dialogue, takes me right out the scene, in fact I want to leave the scene

The entirety of Free Guy. Like every single line. Especially f@#king Antwan”
