    Cold blue color filters to make things like "cinematic" Natural colors please!

    Sick to death of CGI green screen scenery when the actors lose out on the experience of performing on wonderful sets designed by the likes of Ken Adam, Peter Lamont, etc.

    Droning atonal ambience scores with little to no melody or themework.

    Sex scenes where the two lovers just get an overpowering urge and tear down half the apartment while undressing each other. Probably funny the first time, but the next five thousand?

    Just came to mind while watching the new Kingsman: when someone goes to shoot at somebody, and they're obviously holding something that is bulletproof, so we watch the person empty their entire gun into them, knowing they should've tried something else once the bullets run out (TLD's "body armor" bit with Whitaker comes to mind).

    (Disclaimer: Haven't read the first six or seven pages before writing this)
    Scenes where an airplane or helicopter is descending, voluntarily or involuntarily, and a certain sound accompanying that descent is coming on. That is the sound of the Stuka sirens, deliberately generated to strike terror with the people below. It has nothing to do with a noise that just happens naturally when a plane is going down.

    One-note performances with very little range.

    Martial arts styled fight sequences that look like the Bourne films.

    Slow motion action sequences that look like The Matrix.

    Blue color timing.

    Unlikable edgy and angsty characters.

    Big CGI sequences (the opening scene in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 being a prime example) that are so cartoonish they don't convince for one second that what you're watching is actually there and not just a bunch of animated pixels.

    Films 'based on a true story' that bear little similarity with the actual events.

    They should be called 'a work of fiction inspired by true events'

    I agree. The CGI overload is a bit much for me too. Once the first viewing novelty wears off I find I don't have much interest in revisiting the films again because the environments are so obviously fake.

    Could be my age but I'm finding these unconvincing CGI fests a complete bore.

    Combination of fast cutting & shaky cams. Makes it so I cannot follow anything that is transpiring. It's suppose to be exhilarating action and seems like it is for many who give these movie favorable reviews, but it is exhausting instead of exhilarating for me.

    IT'S ALL A DREAM!

    When my girlfriend forced me to sit through the Twilight Saga--yes, I will allow that to sink in for a moment--and that fifth film presented me with one of those surprisingly cool scenes that turned out to be just a dream, I yelled, "OH MY GOD NO THEY DID NOT JUST DO THAT!" in theatres, in complete anger. I was "sushed" quite a bit. ;-)

    I didn't belong there.
