That "one" flaw

[Sundancer]

What are some movies you enjoy but have some aspect to them that has you roll your eyes every time you see it? These flaws probably stick out all the more because you think the rest of the movie is so entertaining

Braveheart
I just don't buy into the love Wallace has with his wife. He sees her once when they are kids, she gives him a thistle, and that's it. Not enough for me to believe that he remembered and loved her all those years


The Dark Knight
I can easily move past any story flaws, but every time I see Two-Face I have trouble suspending my belief. No way can a guy look like that and still function as Harvey Does. It's even harder to swallow given how much Nolan tries for practicality.

The Dark Knight

The fans.

 

[Drizzle]

Katie Holmes in "Batman Begins"

The whole "Scooby Doo" meets "Home Alone" scene where the dwarves trick Smaug at the end of "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"

 

[Sundancer]

The Dark Knight

The fans.

Fans of the film??

 

[Schlosser85]

Rachel Dawes in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. It doesn't matter who plays her, she's unnecessary and annoying either way.

The Joker practically having magical powers to get away with the **** he pulls off in TDK. The same goes for Silva in Skyfall.

I think the whole final act of Batman Begins gets cheesy.

Bane's cheesefest Blackgate Prison speech in The Dark Knight Rises.

Radagast in The Hobbit.

I always felt Schindler's climactic breakdown felt unnatural and shoehorned in Schindler's List. It feels out of character.

 

[Victarion]

TDK: Lau's men waiting for Batman to get to them.

 

[KenK]

High Tension - Y'all know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!

 

[bullets]

Yeah, I didn't like that ending

 

[Donnie Darko]

Swingers

One of my favorite movies of all time, but the scene where the answering machine talks to him at the beginning of the movie is just painful to watch.

 

[Bim]

The Godfather III - Sofia Coppola. She just wasnt right for the part, period. An actress that could act well was needed

 

[<(o_o)>]

Superman Returns, Kryptonite Island... Stalker Superman... Some would say Super-Kid.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Sean Connery not being in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I watched Bram Stoker's Dracula recently, and Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker was one of the worst casting decisions I've ever seen. It's even worse whenever he's onscreen with Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins, who kicked ass as Dracula and Van Helsing. Watching Neo fumbling through his lines with his terrible British accent was very distracting, and like something from a high school Shakespeare performance.

 

[Warhammer]

The Bourne trilogy. In each of those films, there's that one scene where my suspension of disbelief goes right out of the window. We know Bourne is practically a superhero, but damn.

 

[Senator Pleasury]

Ender's Game: the movie was just perfect, fabulous, I loved every single scene and performance. Until the last 15 minutes or so ruined everything for me.

The Dark Knight Returns: I enjoyed a lot this movie until, much as Ender's Game, the last 20-30 minutes were awful.

 

[Laderlappen]

Goodfellas

Joe Pesci is really too old for Tommy DeVito. He and Henry Hill are meant to be even aged and start off at the same time. The Jimmy Conway character played by Robert De Niro is already an established mobster when both DeVito and Hill starts off. But not only are De Niro and Pesci the same age, they look the same age. This flaw is most noticeable when a younger actor plays DeVito in the prologue, but De Niro plays Conway at all ages.

But because Pesci was so good in the role, its really just a minor flaw.

"WHAT'S IN DA BOAAAAAAAX"

It was a perfect movie with one of the greatest climatic scenes I've ever seen. But Brad Pitt couldn't make it and his shortcomings were too obvious by the end of the movie and almost made me laugh in the middle of one of the most serious, tense and tragic scenes ever made.

My wife and a few friends and I always crack up at this scene. At first I was baffled as to why Coppola allowed this take into the movie but then realized that this might have been the best take coming from Keanu. t:

It's so ridiculous when you actually get into it realizing that he's trying to "act" shocked and losing his mind.

That first noise he makes, "GUUUUUH!!!" Then how he falls backwards with his eyes closed like he's having a seizure.

I love that clip so much because Dracula is laughing at Keanu's acting just like we are. It's meta as hell.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

April Fools Day (original) the fact that the whole film full of killing was all fake.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I love that clip so much because Dracula is laughing at Keanu's acting just like we are. It's meta as hell.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Gone with the Wind. I can't for the life of me understand what Scarlett sees in a stiff like Ashley. Especially compared to a dashing rogue like Rhett.

Also, the whole slavery thing and how the film treats black people. Prissy is outright offensive.

 

[Octoberist]

Raiders of the Lost Ark is an amazing film but what always takes me out of the movie is when Indy and Marion are on that boat with the pirates. Those scenes felt so out of place and modern.

Sorry. You'll have to explain what you mean by that one. I don't follow with what you are trying to say. Is it Sallah's love of Gilbert and Sullivan?

The scene in the cabin between Indy and Marion with the mirror is one of my favorites in the entire film. "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage."
