My least favorite movie cliche is the "What About Bob?" thing. You've got a character who's doing something and everybody in the movie thinks he's an asshole for it, a bad guy, or whatever. But you as a viewer totally sympathize with the guy. In "What About Bob?" the Bob character was a patient of a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist went on vacation. Bob followed him there and kept getting up in his shit in his stupid, bumbling, "funny," "harmless" way. Everyone in the movie thought the psychiatrist character was an asshole for trying to get Bob to get the fuck away from him on his vacation.
In reality EVERYBODY WOULD UNDERSTAND that. Or at least most people.
I hate that shit.

i hate when a seemingly interesting movie is ruined by having a cliché plot twist ending, and you get pissed for having been suckered for and hour and a half expecting something creative and getting something uninspired.
see:
the secret window
the machinist- i haven't slept in a yearemukid
- The Machinist FUCKING ROCKS. What the hell are you talking about?killthefish

- bored to tears7point34
- Uhm. Jesus. That one's not really that way. NOW I HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN.killthefish
- you ever seen The Game with Michael Douglas? (yeah I know). Literally the worst ending ever, basically a "...and then I woke up" finale...gjd
- no, the game was quality. that was the point, you're not supposed to know if its' real or not, and it was fairly original7point34

car chase on a bridge on fire, followed by a car chase involving semi-trucks and motorcycles, and a fight scene on a flat bed and buildings blowing up in the background.
of course with some super awesome title like "no more tomorrow"

When the "big payoff" is just some dumb-ass computer generated zombie-ghost-gray/black thing that the main somebody has to "kill."
See:
97% of "horror movies" made recently.

I have only walked out of two movies in my life and they were.
Fear with marky marky whalberg.
and eyes wide shut.both films left me feeling flaccid and cheated, however that new film Taken with liam neeson completely satisfied me and left me as dry as a ships biscuit :D

I hate it when in porno's when they are having a nice ride, then bam he fires it up her wrong'un yikes, and whats with all the choking and spitting these days, I used to think it was rather nice you had a wee ride and then you said thanks for that cheers and have a wee kiss, now it's like I ain't going anywhere near that mouth and you probably hate me as well for what we have just done so don't call me ever we pretty much can't even look at each other now.
- nobody going to back me up on that one eh?..... looks like I should be hitting the old dusty trail well see ya later :/chossy

when the bad guy has caught the hero, and instead of shooting him in the head, the bad guy tell him all the plans, where the bomb is, and the codes. then right before he shoots the hero, the side kick you thought was dead shoots the bad guy. But they make you think the bad guy shot the hero, until the bad guy falls down revealing the side kick with the gun

i like how bad guys can empty 1000s of rounds and hit fuck all and the good guy only needs a hand gun or 2 to kill off 50-60 men

when the good guy is fighting the hoard of bad guys will only attack one at a time- also: children are quite clever and can outwit any armed, trained badguy7point34

The first series of 24 had it right when Jack Bauer waited a few second when he cornered the bad guy on the dock (you expect something to stop the bad guy getting done), then Bauer unloads about 20 rounds into his chest.
THATS how it would go down.

I dinae like torture movies much, especially ones involving women getting tortured like wolf creek and things like that it is too much for me to take to watch people be dominated and tortured so much without any hope and then they die, it really upsets me deeply.

Cocktail with Tom Cruise. His self-righteous fuck face generally grinds my gears, but this movie could not have been worse.
