Stuff movies can do without

Generic rock music replacing real musical scores

Was Jurasic Park the last movie with a memorable score ?

Why Does Every Batman Movie ...
Need to Have a Love Interest for Batman ?.
Stupid.

Because DC/Warners is still scared we'll think Batman likes Robin.

When we all know, Bruce only loves himself.

Nearly EVERY movie with a team has the team temporarily break up or separate right before the last act starts. This obviolsly includes romantic pairings as well. Haven't we had enough of this yet?

Hmmm...this was the hallmark of the JLA for 20 years.

Hellboy had a good theme/score that still sticks in my head.

Of course, The Sixth Sense caused a disease where, for a while, every movie had a "twist" ending - no matter how unnecessary, or how off the rails the extra info took us from the main plot we had just followed. I think for the most part this trend is dying now though.

CGI made all haunted house etc movies not scary

Not that it looks bad, it just made anything is possible = nothing is scary anymore

Or the Fantastic Four for the last 50.

How about where something good happens to a person right before they "kick the bucket" so that it makes the audience more sad about losing the character. SOme examples that come to my mind are in Serenity where Washburne lands the ship but then gets shot through the window or Kirk tosses Picard the remote control and then the bridge collapses and he falls.

This also blends the line with sacrificing characters: bad guy realizes that he should have been good and he takes out the even badder guy (Vader ROJ) or we think a character is dead but is able to come back before he really dies to kill himself and the threat/villian at the same time, etc.

Mine is sparkle-y vampires. Can't stand em. Vampires are supposed to be ferocious, cold hearted creatures with lustful appetites...not sparkle-y and romantic. UGH!!!

Yep, I'm so sick of romantic vampires.
Curse you, Anne Rice!!!!!

Agreed.
I want all movie to have as much in-camera and on-set filming as possible.
Build it.
Wear costumes.

And if all that fails, then use CG sparingly.
It's a last-resort thing, NOT your first option!

I want movies to be produced by one company.

These days, it takes five minutes for the movie to actually start.

Numbnuts Pictures presents...
A Barfbag Production...
In association with Doofus Enterprises...
Executive Produced by Megalomaniac Films...

By then, I'm already getting annoyed!!!!!
And they all have really really stupid logos and stuff....
