Unbelieveable Movie Scenes : what were they thinking?

WOW. That's painful.
Funny, I've never seen that movie.
It's my natural instinct NOT to watch Nicholas Cage movies.

How about all the movies where we establish one bad guy as the angel of death himself (or herself) who can't be beat. Then, the good guy takes them out in a way that they defeated easily several other people before? I saw "The Raid - redemption" recently and they had a lot of that.

The original Brit version was odd but totally different. The ending of the original movie left you thinking the locals were just badly misguided. They did burn the guy to death in the wicker man but they sure didn't torture him like that first.
The ending of the Cage remake left you wanting an alternate ending where the Navy flies overhead with a flight of F-18s and drops about 10 cannisters of Napalm on the whole lot of them. Did you catch the look on the faces of these people? They were enjoying what they were doing to him. And the original version had the officer simply responding to something on the island, not suckered into being there by a long, winding conspiracy.
Not at all in the spirit of the original movie. The ending of that movie was downright angry and totally uncalled for.
 
Surrogates. Near the end Bruce Willis is in the bad guys office desperately trying to download some data as quick as he can, off a laptop onto a usb stick.

This, in a movie where people are remotely controlling and living through robots operated via some kind of pod in their house, miles away.

Hopefully, by the time we are mind controlling robots we will have more advanced ways of storing data, possibly even some kind of information cloud storage, but I guess thats a little far fetched!
 
Has anyone mentioned that dreadful James McAvoy/Angelina Jolie flick "Wanted" yet?
I do not know much about guns, but the idea that you can give a bullet a spin so that it flies in an arc seems nonsense at the least.

I had no problem with that, as they were basically portrayed as super heroes in some way and could do things no one else could. If they can jump from a skyscraper to another, they can bend the laws of physics and bend the path of bullets by slinging the gun when firing.

Transformers II almost made me want to scream at the screen when they dropped JADMS right on top of the main characters and they just ran like firecrackers were going off. Those things aren't to be dropped less than several kilometers away. That close? You'd be lucky if there's enough of you left to identify as being maybe the remains of a human being if they dropped one of those suckers that close to you.
Has anyone else on this forum every been around large explosives going off? Even at a distance, you can wind up with a bad stomach ache or wind up looking for your hat after a large explosion going off in the area. Think of all the movies where a VERY large explosion goes off just feet away from someone and it doesn't faze them at all?
Also, explosions do NOT happen that slowly. People actually are able to dodge an explosion? In the Matrix, maybe, but NO FREAKING WAY in the real world!
Watch episode 5 of "Generation Kill" to see what a real explosion looks like they did a great job with that one.
I love it! :thumbsup
Better still, he comes back with more than two, and everyone has a WTF moment before Lex tries to run and they both forget the thermonuclear weapons lying there...

Explosions in film don't hurt anybody unless you stand in the flaming bits, explosions don't create shockwaves or shrapnel, unless it's a very specific element of the plot.

Explosions in film are massive fireballs, even hand grenades or C4, whereas most real explosions tend to be a brief flash and a lot of smoke.
 
AI, so many bits that just don't add up. The ending is just random bogus, even Kubrick admitted he couldn't get the ending to work and it completely went over Spielberg's head.

I thought those beings in the end were aliens when i saw the movie....then years later i read here on the forum that they are suppost to be advanced robots made by robots......that totally went over my head.

But i guess it fooled me when i saw the latest indy 4 movie.....with the aliens....who was not aliens...but looks like them... I bet ET is not really an alien now.

Seriously? I didn't know that even until today. Where'd you read that? I always assumed they were aliens... :confused
