Worst Movie Cliches

Watching the new Batman movie made me review the best ways to ruin a sure blockbuster.
The Top Ten
1 All the main characters magically survive

Lol not in Logan

2 It was all a dream

That really pisses me off, on some movies that do this I think to myself I sat through this piece of S/ only find out it was just a dream its like a huge middle finger to the viewers is what it is.

Laziest possible way to end anything ever. At least if the main character dies, SOMETHING happens.

Sometimes it works but other times it just SUCKS and it feels like the movie give an f you to the audience

That only worked in "The Wizard of Oz".

3 Love interest is kidnapped

Most of time it is a girl. I wonder if people would feel differently with a guy getting captured

A lot of the time, the love interest isn't even interesting/likable enough to make it exciting. Besides, the Super Mario series's overuse of the damsel in distress trope all but ensured that I will never be able to enjoy any straight use of it.

Who hasn't seen that a thousand times.

It's just not cool.

4 Ally gets mind-controlled, hero says fight it, ally says he can't.

Oh this is annoying

5 Ally dies, hero is sad, ally comes back to life

I'm looking at Smurfs and the lost village right now.

6 Villain tells hero big plan
7 Unoriginal/meaningless villain deaths
8 Singing for no reason at all

Yeah! Take Frozen's "Let it Go" for example

9 Villain holds gun at hero, tells him everything, hero kills villain
10 Extensive soul searching

"Who am I? What is my purpose? " Ick. Tired of it; it happens in all of the movies and it all starts and ends the same way. Annoying.

The Contenders
11 Kissing at the End

More like in the middle or some time before the movie ends

Trust me! Every movie has it!

12 Bomb disabled when there's one second left
13 The rubbish players score
14 Hero sacrificing himself

Bonus points if the hero comes back to life.

15 The strong damsel in distress
16 People shoot guns, but miss their target every time.

They must have lousy aim or were just really really drunk during filming.

17 Guns never run out of bullets
18 Villain devises elaborate hero death
19 Sole black character dies
20 The quick dodging unemotional hero
21 The goofy villain
22 Be careful...
23 Everyone but the hero and love interest die

That's so dumb. It's not like it makes a difference to everyone else, dead or alive. It was new and acceptable when it happened in things like Shakespeare, but Titanic, so what?!

24 The sparkling teeth
25 Love just because

Glad I just brought this up to #28
