[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;49306262]This is actually really great when they're self-aware about it though
Like when there's a dialogue along the lines of "why are you doing this" "because i'm evil lol"[/QUOTE]
Villains who are evil just because they want to be are actually the best kind if you play it off right.
When a death scene is over dramatic and drawn out over a character we've barely even known.
[QUOTE=xZippy;49320109]When a death scene is over dramatic and drawn out over a character we've barely even known.[/QUOTE]
Or better yet, when you always get dramatic, heartfelt last words, when in reality the guy should be KO'd from the sudden drop in blood pressure, dead instantly from mass trauma, slowly asphyxiating from tension pneumothorax, or any number of other things that would preclude a heart to heart conversation.
Death is a messy business, to put it lightly. I count myself fortunate that I've never seen it up close myself.
I hate it when the animators clearly designed the movie to be 3D by making something in the movie pop out of of the screen.

WHOOOAAAAAAH!
When a movie isn't smart enough to work within its own logic.
The Purge for instance. Okay, so you know the next 12 hours ANYTHING goes, why do you wait till the last minute to lock down your home? I'd be locked down a day in advance. If anything goes wrong, you have a safe day to deal with it. Lots of movies do this kind of thing. They set up a scenario where the characters know what's going on and the only way the plot moves forward is if the characters handle things in the stupidest way possible.

worse when they don't want to paint the main guy as weak and incompetent, so they introduce "the stupid character" whose sole purpose is to fail when nobody else should and advance the plot
though this role is usually outsourced to the secondary antagonist, like when everything is going well, but they just [I]have[/I] to release the super-powerful villain the heroes just locked in, either because they want to use the villain for their own purposes, or take them head-on because they want an 'honorable duel' or something

When the main characters need a shitload of money, and they just so happen to stumble on a flyer or TV ad that mentions a contest where the prize is the [I]exact[/I] amount of money the main characters need.
Edit: What if said contest was offering [I]more[/I] money than what was needed? Wouldn't that push the characters into getting in the contest even more?

I'm suddenly reminded of that one episode of Scrubs that turned out to be rather depressing
Every TV show has an episode where a character does something stupid and it ends up on the internet, and it [I]always[/I] "goes viral," which, according to TV, means that someone autotuned it and it got [I]millions of hits![/I] and some kids always laugh at the character in real life, like in a [I]grocery store![/I] Even though memes based around autotune parodies always fizzle out once everyone gets bored of it after a week, and that kind of thing hasn't happened since fucking double rainbow
The cinema in general. It's too expensive and could just buy DVD for same price.

I've bought blu-rays for just as much if not less that have come with a ton of special features. So yeah, fuck cinemas in general.
Unless it's a special case, but that rarely ever happens.
I Hate the "Liar revealed" clichè
Character A has become member of the group/town/band/mimltary etc etc under false pretenses, and even though he/she is a valuable addition to the group, when the false pretenses are discovered character A is exiled, and must waste some minutes of the movies by doing boring soul-searching stuff. And they ALWAYS make amends, it's fucking boring, and more predictable than the fact that the sun is gonna rise tomorrow
When say an American movie features a character who is Australian, and when they find the actor for that character they make them have the most over-exaggerated Australian accent ever, and overdo the slang. Just so the audience knows they're a TRUE FUCKIN BLUE AUSSIE FROM DOWN UNDA YEA CHUCK A SHRIMP ON THE FUCKIN BARBIE MATE LET'S HAVE A ROOT, STRUTH
So I pretty much hate stereotypes

On the other side of the spectrum, when two foreign people are speaking in their language but then randomly talk in bad english in case the audience forgets they're watching a freedom loving American movie.
