When movies have oversimplified computer programs. Like for example, a guy needs to hack into something, so he plugs in a flash drive and not only does the program magically run itself with no clicking required, but there just so happens to be a big fat button (and no others) that reads "Hack". And that one virtual button press just knows exactly what to hack and does the job in seconds. Same goes for websites in movies, which in real life, are dead giveaways to clickbait malware nests. Like this...
Because downloading them "feature films" is that easy guys.
Another thing that steams all my clams is when movies have ultra-cringeworthy, contrived and forced fake languages. Extra bonus points when the """language""" has weird inconsistencies. I don't know how saying "Goonaka heraka haka laka herk herk glerk" would translate into "No thanks." while "Jerspy dorno!" stretches out into "It's something I'd never do in public or even in the daytime, but I still do it."
Your turn.

I post pretty rarely nowadays. Gosh, I wish this place weren't so... empty...
I could name a lot, because I spend a quarter of my time watching Cinemasins, but one I despise the most is where a sequel to the original movie doesn't really follow up to what it is, and this has a lot to do with the sequel's plot, characters (and sometimes character development) and few good other things, I'll list a couple movies if I can remember.
For example, Rio. This was a great movie, about a bird who can't fly. All the characters had purpose in this story, and the story was a great one. The sequel however, didn't please me as much. For starters they're not in Rio anymore, they're in an amazon. Another thing is the characters. 4, characters literally had no purpose in this story, 5 if you count Rio's MAIN villain. And I swear, the antagonist, Nigel was so threatening and scary in the first movie, and in the second he was just some desperate, flightless, embarrassed bird. They even have a part where his expression shows that he's TERRIFIED of a small frog no bigger than the size of his beak. And he's literally one of those characters who have no purpose in the movie than to just...be there. I swear, if you remove all of the scenes with Nigel in it, you would see such tiny difference he has in the movie.
Another I can remember is Cars 2. The movie is hardly even about the MAIN CHARACTER anymore, and just about his friend. Some characters also hardly had any effect to the story. And I preferably didn't really like the story, it was way better off being a completely new movie instead. Another thing is the amount of action in here, and I don't mean any type of action, action where cars have guns and RPGs, A car is blown up on purpose, and another is crushed into a small piece of metal. Victims of the antagonists were killed or injured so horribly. And the sequel alinol (see what I did there?) didn't deserve that title, especially since it had no relation to the first. Which I'm sure is quite common among movies, but like this?
I Don't like it when a sequel to a movie changes the main actor but calls him the same character.
Fast & Furious should have been canceled after the death of Paul Walker
Profits runs the business, they put too much resources into the project to trash it after walker's death. At the very least, they had the little tribute at the end.
It's not like this the first this happened in film, you had Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight and Chris Farley in Shrek. Though in the case with Shrek, they had Farley replaced entirely with Michael Meyers and pretty much rewrote and re-do the whole movie.
getting rid of hot characters because they take a way from the plot, like why would you get rid of Megan fox for the reason shes to hot. face palm

If anything I would say Fincher did a hell of a lot better than Cameron. But Cameron was intentionally writing an action film, and that's all he was going after. But I thought Fincher, taking it back to a horror genre did more for the franchise than Cameron. Most people, not accusing you, are butthurt at Newt and Hicks already dead at the beginning of the movie. I personally thought that it was the right thing to develop Ripley's character. If anyone should be accused of bad writing in the franchise, it should be Scott for Prometheus. ;-)

Yeah, I can't deny the colors were a bit flat. But for me that seemed to add to the atmosphere of utter hopelessness in fighting the alien. I see like me, at least from your lack of mention, when you do watch them you leave out Resurrection. Not that I would blame you.

Oh, boy! Where to start? There are so many things to choose from, but I'll try to narrow it down for this post.
First up, chainsaws -- In movies, chainsaws ALWAYS start on the first pull, can cut through even the hardest wood as if were butter, and can cut through non-stretched fabrics and other materials without ever binding or jamming. Additionally, as soon as the character starts a chainsaw, the chain is engaged and spinning (no idling in the movies!), even if it's dropped or thrown or something ridiculous like that. Seriously, is there a single person in all of Hollywood (apart from landscapers) who has ever used a chainsaw in real life?
Next, firearms -- Of course there're the standard complaints such as firearms never needing to be reloaded and firing a rifle from the hip somehow hitting targets 100+ yards away. There's also dual-wielding, where characters can fire two weapons, usually fully automatic, and maintain perfect control over each, despite the fact that most people would probably find it difficult enough to fire accurately with ONE fully-automatic weapon, with BOTH hands supporting it. What really irks me, though, is many characters' lack of regard for even the most basic of firearms safety, even among supposedly trained firearm users. For instance, I repeatedly see in movies a character with a gun leading a group of people (like, say, his wife and kids), and encountering a stranger. After discovering that the stranger isn't threatening them, the character introduces the other members of his party, gesturing towards them with the loaded gun without even taking his finger off the trigger. I cringe every time I see such negligent discharges waiting to happen.
BONUS: Shotguns -- Movie shotguns get their own complaint, apart from firearms in general. In movies, shotguns are practically mythical weapons, with the ability to launch their targets back several dozen feet when hit. They can also guarantee a kill at any range, while still maintaining their spread so that you never, ever have to actually aim. And of course, when a character is using a pump-action shotgun, he/she feels the need to pump the action EVERY SINGLE TIME the scene changes, even when they have clearly not fired a single shot. From how many unspent shells would be littering the floors of action movies, you'd think the characters would be slipping and tripping more than Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern in "Home Alone".
Well, that's what I've got for now. Anyone else feel a sudden urge to watch MST3K or Rifftrax?

bring back a movie series by redoing it and reversing the plots of one of the original movies and making one character act extremely differently, change the timeline and then change how an alien species looks.
