First thing that will always come to mind is Jupiter Ascending, so much hard work wasted on such a train wreck of a movie!
Things you're tired of seeing in movies

That was a physically hard movie to watch.
For Rebirth, I had to look at my shoes to avoid the stress. It was that bad.
I think that Hollywood is now catering to the Tiktok generation who have the attention span of a flea (my 18yo niece confirms she has no attention span now 
).
).With 376 pages now of posts, and I've only just recently joined I'm not too sure if anyone else has noted this one. Typically, in horror movies, in a hallway or a tunnel etc where there is lighting running along the length of these on the roof or walls. When the lighting is progressively turned off/on, the lighting makes this loud clunk sound like someone is throwing a large circuit breaker as each light individually turns off/on. Typically, if you turn off the lights they all go out at once, not each one progressively turning off/on. Does anyone know where this would actually happen?
And Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Visual feast, hollow soul.

Good point.
How about when power goes out from the grid, it goes off in stages even in the same building?

Instead of, you know, catering to people who would actually pay to see a movie. How stupid is that?I think that Hollywood is now catering to the Tiktok generation who have the attention span of a flea (my 18yo niece confirms she has no attention span now
The overuse of metal on metal "sccchiiing" sound effect anytime someone slightly moves a knife or blade even when it is just gently moving through the air.
A perfect example was in the absolutely terrible 2025 remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer I had the misfortune of sitting through on Sunday and every time the killer moved the hook there was a really loud "scccchiiiing" sound effect.
It isn't just that film, every film and TV show does it, I just happened to notice it even more in that film.

Not just metal. Nobody can move a chair without it making a horrendous noise. Sorry, no chairs that I move in the real world sound like that.

I don't think that "The-felt-pads-under-the-feet" qualify as a prop in Hollywood
I think that would be considered a Silent FilmI don't think that "The-felt-pads-under-the-feet" qualify as a prop in Hollywood
Oh wow, ya, so, to just add pissed off to the list of why Jurrassic rebirth sucked so bad, they purposely had scenes where the person eats loudly. As though that is a funny joke. They put this in at least 4 times in the movie. I would have rather it been a silent film at that point.
Which leads to another thing I am tired of seeing in movies, lying in the trailer. Chris Pratt isn't in this film so quit showing trailers with him in it. Talk about bait and switch. They are bragging about how much money they made but it is the biggest bait and switch of the millenia. People expected to see another Jurrassic but got a B version of Jules Vernes Lost World.
Lying in the trailers about content- showing scenes which are never intended to be in the film ('Rogue One' with the TIE Fighter hovering in front of Jyn, also having her going through a Cloud City type lighted tube).
Trailers giving away very big shocking reveals and spoiling the film (John Conner is a Terminator)
Problem is that the Trailers are for the most part created by an entirely different group of people who have nothing to do with the actual film- they are hired just to get butts into the theater seats and that is their only concern.

ICK, thanks for the warning
There are lots of overused sound effects. How about that "Smrrrf!" sound when something explodes/ignites or that fake suppressor sound?
