When characters just don’t know how to communicate or share information at all.
Have the writers ever talked to people? We overshare everything. People well spend 30 minutes explaining a story that could be told in 10 seconds. No one is withholding critical information from their companions in real life to move a plot along.
The audio being super low and then when fight scenes come on it blows out your eardrums. Idc how good it is, this will make me turn it off every time. Seems like such an easy thing to not fuck up
Scenes that are too dark to actually see what’s happening. A little is fine, but when I can’t see it I immediately give up.
The zombies have broken in to the building and the nuclear bomb will be here in 5 minutes. We should stop now to discuss our relationship and then casually saunter along the corridor.
Don’t forget the wise older character that will never answer questions directly because he needs to appear “wise” or something.
“They’ve got us surrounded! General, we need a decision now!”
“You know, when I was a kid, my father used to take me fishing…”
Motherfuckers in crowd scenes of battle scenes who just literally standing there awkwardly pretending to fight. In the Gladiator movie there was a scene between romans and Germans with literally 5 second scene where two dudes dressed as Germans were smiling while swinging their swards. Like couldn’t fucking movie director to notice this scene while cutting it?!
When in a post apocalyptic/dystopian world where resources are scarce women still have mascara and eyeliner, perfect eyebrows and perfectly clean and conditioned hair.
Or when they disseminate the conversation across multiple scenes… as if these two people paused the conversation, drove together to a new location, then picked up right where they left off.
I hate when they live in these glorious mansions or seaside mansions, the Hamptons, and then they’re like a chef. Or a writer with writers block.’
If the mouth and voice are even a tiny bit out of sync. It drives me insane.
I wouldn’t say “ruins it” but whenever a character is drinking from a CLEARLY EMPTY MUG/CUP it pisses me off. How hard is it to put water in to at least look realistic
It drives me nuts when people in movies or TV finish a phone conversation and just hang up without saying goodbye. It’s so rude!
Women running in heels – there goes my suspension of disbelief!
Noticeable overuse of CGI. Seems like it’s something we can’t get away from in recent years.
I really hate when the camera shots are so short and quick that you can’t take in the backdrop scenery or character expressions. I think it’s a symptom of shorter attention spans and trying to force quick-paced engagement. Unfortunately extremely common in newer movies, I HATE IT
Gratuitous sex scenes. If I wanna watch porn, I’ll go watch porn. Just let me watch a movie without having to watch people fucking each other.
“I just wanted to tell you that-“something distracts both characters instead of using 5 more seconds to finish the sentence character won’t tell what it was until it’s too lateI hate that.

Billy: "Feelin' good, Louis!"
------dialogue in this scene from "Trading Places." (1983).
#11 Probably not the right gif for this caption's context. That's Elwood gesturing for the waiter to fill his water glass with champagne in "The Blues Brothers."
