55 Movie Trends That Need to Die Now

3D Zombies for me as well, I like the ideas you people shared here.

Forgot to say Hollywood does not know how to make movies any more, they all pretty much suck!!! and rely on stupid stories, dialog and nothing but special effects. Give me the supurbdays of Hollywood on Turner Classic Movies. America has been dumbed down so much theythink that whats now in theaters is great.Also what is the fascinastion idiot women have with vampires these days??? They are the same nitwits you see on Judge Judy or the crime shows...they all like the bad boy types thatsteal them blind or kill them. They are usually fat disgusting creatures and the guys are very good looking and they are too stupid to see "whats wrong with this picture" Darwin said it best.... survival of the fitttest.

Any movie that has hundreds of black helicopters flying in unison along with the head of the military who always has to be black ala Morgan Freeman

MOST FILMS CELEBRATE FILTH OR THEY ARE A MUCH WORSE REMAKE OF A CLASSIC FILM SO I SELDOM SEE THEM I THINK THE "STAR WARS PREQUEL" OR THE "OVER THE HEDGE" FILM WAS THE LAST ONES I SAW.

NO MORE SEQUELS! NO MORE PREQUELS.

NO MORE REMAKES. THEY SUCK.BADLY.

THE FILM COMMUNITY'S LACK OF IMAGINATION,CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY IS NOT MY PROBLEM AND I WON'T PAY TO SEE WHAT WAS BETTER DONE IN THE CLASSIC FILM.

NO MORE FILMS THAT EXPLOIT WOMEN. GO MAKE A SOFT=CORE OR XXX-FILM,IF YOU WANT PORN.WOMEN ARE MORE THAN TINY,STICK THIN WAIFS TO BE A BACKGROUND TO THE HERO OR A MACHO ACTION HERO WITH BOOBS. AND NOT THER KIND THAT WRITE & PRODUCE THIS DRECK, I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DD ANYWAY.

INTERNET CHALLENGE: 3 page treatment for a movie combining all of these. Go!

6.The smart, worldly 8-year-old : Yes, it is better that we present our kids as stupid and idea-challenged. That way they will never replace us. 7.Nicolas Cage : Not really a trend. All this tells me is that you were running out of ideas and decided to throw in an actors name. 8.The Jason Statham-rescues-a-kid storyline : Because there are more adults he could be rescuing. Kids can surely fend for themselves. 9.The Jason Statham action that leads to him shirtless : Not a fan of him being shirtless, but I am also enough of a man to handle it. This should be on the top of the "I am worried Jason Statham is going to steal my girl list. 10.Third Act battle on historical landmark : Because viewers will be afraid that the reason it was historical once will be erased by the fact that a movie was shot there? 

So many comments. - had to divide this up. 

1.Characters walking away from explosions, unharmed : So you would rather they get harmed and we waste half a movie watching people visit them in the hospital. 2.Characters jumping from moving vehicles, unharmed : So you would rather they stay in the car and plunge to their death. Or better yet, limp for the rest of the movie. 3.Characters falling from tremendous heights and bouncing off cars and living : I make most of my getaways doing this. Are you serious, do we really need to have every truck driving in the city have a mattress, feathers or a bunch of kittens in the back? 4.Animals that talk using CGI : Yeah - I preferred the peanut butter or sugar method. That way we just have to pretend we aren't watching a 1970's Godzilla movie. 

happy endings shouldn't die!

Characters dropping/falling/jumping and landing in a Tebow like stance, one hand on ground and the other elevated behind them.

Corrected: 43. Comedies with Paul Rudd

I'm really tired of movies about muscleheads with fast cars. The self-fulfilled pack of smart women with condescending attitudes about men movies are wearing thin, also. Then again, if the women are watching those fast car movies, I don't blame them for the condescension.

like Elaine answered I cant believe that a stay at home mom able to get paid $4071 in one month on the computer. did you see this site makecash16.comONLY

tough or well meaning white woman or man saving inner city youth from themselves in spite of their early resistance....please stop

also any blacks learn to dance their troubles away movies of any variety.

Way too much use of shaky camera work. You don't use the camera to create tension, that what actors are for. Shaky cam doesn't enhance action scenes. You vision doesn't shake when running or walking. Way over used and really bad effect. Most home movies don't shake as bad as movies I have seen.

How about the proliferation of condoms, I mean come on, Vivid!

Over use of nekid booby Nazi chicks.
