Or least hated, if that's the case.

For me, I don't know what it is, but seeing the good guy walking towards the camera in slow-mo all nonchalant while a bigass explosion goes off just a couple feet behind them (miraculously not singing the hairs on the back of their neck) just gets me all the time.

I hate the cliche: listen to your heart.
I like it when tough guys don't look at explosions.

But I like the absence of cliches most, so to speak.

I love how when two sharpshooters, the best of the planet, meet in rival fronts, and just go charge eachother, non of them die immediately and the guys around just fall to the ground.

Ones I hate the most:

*The almighty power of hacking:

"Johnny, Hack into..."
"James, hack this..."
"Wait while I hack this"

etc.


*When someone is searching for files on a computer, and the screen shows EVERY SINGLE IMAGE ON THE COMPUTER, just overlaying them on top of each other, and making little beeps and clicks.



*In Will Smith movies: "Aww, HELL no"


*When a main character dies and just a few minutes later the characters find out there's a way to bring him/her back to life.


*Faux or misused computer jargon, like mainframe, subroutines, and encryption

*Aliens are always humanoid, or at least have the same relative placement of facial features (eyes above mouth and nose, nose between eyes and mouth, ears on side of head)

*Monstrous bad guys, usually in slasher flicks, walk very slowly, but teleport to appear around corners. Excusable during dreams in A Nightmare on Elm Street, not so much in Halloween or Friday the 13th.

*Lasers are apparently visible no matter where they are. Smoke, plain air, even space.

*****ING SOUND IN MOTHER ****ING SPACE

That's all I feel like listing right now.

computer hackers are gods among men who can do anything by smashing their hands on a keyboard

and basicly anyone using a computer in a movie

How about the staggeringly high statistical probability that the good guys will be victorious? That can get annoying, you know, seeing all this bad stuff happen to them and pretty much knowing they'll find a way out of it.

I also hate when they are like 20 feet from a explosion and they still fly like 8 miles

Keep 'em coming, I think I'll make a movie out of all of these somewhen. Would be something for collegehumor, too.


I love it when there's like 2 good guys and a ****ING ARMY of bad guys aruond them, shooting at them like crazy, but the two guys just keep stitching all of the other guys with lead without taking even a single hit. That's awesome.

Oh and when the main characters are just running in a straight line while the bad guys are shooting at them with machine guns, but the bullets never hit them and just kick dirt up around them.

What about when the bad guys have better guns than the good guys and every bullet misses said good guys while every bullet hits said bad guys?
