When suspension of disbelief just wont cut it?

Paranormal Activity 2 .. Wonder Woman scene.

?

Please elaborate.

I think he landed in water that time , also he did use someone to break his fall in Bourne Identity

I was actually joking. I litterly meant flappy like a bird as he glides through the sky!

Batman and Rachel free falling off his skyscraper penthouse, smashing into a car, and only a minor spurt of blood and a bad joke as a result

Harry survives a point blank pumpkin bomb while chasing Peter early in the movie, doesn't get a scratch and is mildly annoyed. Later, gets hit with another point blank explosion and it messes up his face real good. Eddie Brock gets hit by a point blank pumpkin bomb that VAPORIZES him and the symbiote...wtf?

In the script, Batman uses his grappling hook but I would image that in the movie, it's his cape that slows them down. But it's not that bad.

 

[dodgers2213]

watch the scene again, he doesn't deploy his cape. They spend most of the time falling down spinning making it impossible for him to get his cape out

I remember watching the movie and thinking about his grapple gun or deploying the cape....i was on edge.....then they freakin go smashing into the car. It was just really weird

When suspension of disbelief won't cut it, either leave or clean out your imagination.

Batman extends his cape right before impact. Watch the scene again. It doesn't fully extend, which is also why the car they lend on gets dented - but also take into account how kevlar works. It would take in the impact, leaving less of it for Batman to take, and even LESS for Rachel. Also, the physics of the cape hitting sudden impact was also never explained. If you want to complain about something, complain that he should have had his suit replaced because the Kevlar would have gotten stiff after the fall.

I find that when I get baked, I have a harder time suspending my disbelief for ALL movies, TV shows and plays. I'll get just as much enjoyment out of them, if not more, but be largely unable to shake my awareness that these are just actors.

extending the cape right before impact would accomplish little to nothing. and kevlar does not protect you from falling off skyscraper impact.

When Superman lifted an entire continent of the only known substance that weakens and kills him.

you didnt notice him getting super charged on the sun? and that he went deep below the kryptonite so their was a solid layer of earth between him and the kryptonite he was lifting. it was when the kryptonite grew through that layer of earth where it became a serious struggle for him and then he let it go and fell to the earth with kryptonite poisoning and damn near died....so i'd say it was all pretty consistent and believable.

I'm not having this argument again. I still don't buy it.

Well, I don't.

 

[Octoberist]

I don't buy the Superman lifting the continent thing either, though it was 'suppose' to be this iconic, powerful money-shot in the movie. Meh.

Agreed. It never blew my whistle either.

How bad The Last Airbender is

 

[Octoberist]

But The Last Airbender's world (as bad as the movie was) was fairly...consistent.

Well, besides the obvious: The Earth clan was imprisoned in a camp that was surrounded by rock and sand!

 

[Ipodman]

The fight scenes in TLA were ridiculous... I could walk up to any one of them and punch them in the stomach even before they can throw some stone or whatever at me

What films or movie scenes have made you drop the thought process of suspension of disbelief?

Just saw Salt a few hours ago and boy oh boy did that keep pulling me out of the movie. There you have fragile looking Angelina Jolie dropping grown men with a single punch and on the odd occasion kicks. Dont get me wrong I enjoyed the movie but come on, I mean really.

we live in a world where they have no more respect for big muscular dude
it's their own stupid fault if that the image they want to create for themselves by accepting to play in stupid movies where 90 pounds women are able to kick their butts .
what really bothers me is that some people are really starting to believe in that $h!t

about 3 years ago i went to a party as a security guard where i was the only adult watching over "hundreeds"of teenagers in a house party
and their was a couple of girls following me around like puppys
two 16 years old girl thought despite my awesome muscular size they could take me on
and recently in an elavator two old bags made joke despite my size that they were two against one and i could'nt possibly be able subdue them

can you imagine
it's really fustrating sometimes and i'm boiling hot inside sometime
grrrr
you big hollywood idiots out there
stop making a bad image for big guys like us ok!

 

[dark_b]

this works


this doesnt


if you want to watch hot girls go rent a porn.

and watching Jolie in an action scene in 2010 is funny. there is nothing badass about Jollie with those skinny arms and a chemotherapy face .

 

[Eggyman]

Rent a porn?! In the internet age? Why buy the cow when you can have the sex for free?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but in the famous truck-chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indy winds up on the hood and slides underneath the truck, all the way to the back and climbs back in behind the Nazi at the wheel, he should actually be ground to a bloody pulp by the desert rocks. And yes, I know he was wearing a leather jacket.

 

[Eggyman]

The Dark Knight:

Joker takes a swan dive from the top floor of a building and Batman catches him with the grapple gun--2 things should've happed. 1) Joker's leg/foot comes off from the force of his fall and being stopped so suddenly. 2) Batman should be catapulted out of the window by the pull of the Joker falling--ahh but he used a bar above the window to take the strain... yes, indeed he did, but how the f*** did he get the line and grapple gun over it so quickly after that awesome shot?

Let me guess. He's the goddamned Batman, right?

That one bothers me more than the drop with Dawes. You see his cape extend slightly at the last moment and you also hear the sound effect. Also, we all know cars in Hollywood films are made out of sugar puffs and snowflakes.

 

[SPIDER-MAN-ROX]

Superman catching Lois when she falls from the helicopter & not killing, breaking or injuring her severely.

Superman spinning the earth backwards to reverse time & save Lois from getting killed. Even if it were possible to change the rotation of the the earth the least that could happen is that it would just mess up night & day for everyone around the world, or it would cause a tsunami so powerful that it would wipe out most of the planets population.
