Now, everyone loves movies. They have been around since the 1920’s and they have even brought us all some amazing films… BUT, there are things in movies that just plain piss me off. So, I present to you all my list for the Top Ten Worst Movie Cliches… In my opinion.
#10: Shaking Camera AND 360 Turn - This one is a tie between two cliches that are pretty similar. The Shaking Camera is when the camera shakes like crazy, and can’t keep still for more than two seconds. I feel like I’m gonna get sick just looking at it. It’s camera movement like this that made me not like the Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield as much as everyone else. Then, there is the 360 Turn, which is where the Camera slowly spins around a character, or group of characters, to look all dramatic and stuff. But really, it just looks stupid. Why can’t cameras just stay still. Is it really that hard
#9: Walking from Explosions - Yeah, we all know this cliche. It’s mostly seen in action movies, where the main character walks away from an explosion to try and look cool. But, now, it’s just pathetic and horribly unrealistic. I mean, how can anyone walk away from an explosion, which gives off the loudest sound in human existence. At least The Other Guys did this cliches justice. God, that scene was funny
#8: Tripping - This sort of cliche is seen CONSTANTLY in slasher films. Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Child’s Play, YOU NAME IT, IT’S THERE! Tripping, in my eyes, is just one big fat tumor on the horror movie industry. Basically, this happens when a character is running from the killer, only to trip and fall on their face. It doesn’t matter what, if you are running for dear life, you’re not making out of the situation alive. Seriously, why are all the characters in slasher films clumsy idiots
#7: Dumb Blondes - Now, this cliche is so unrealistic, it just hurts. This cliche shows female characters who are blonde to be these really attractive women, who are just a bunch of idiots. This, while also a stereotype, is just stupid. The Legally Blonde movies are just one big fat Dumb Blonde cliches, which is no wonder why I hate those movies
#6: Love Interest’s Douche Lover - Now, this usually appears in romantic comedy films. Basically, this is where the love interest is dating a guy, who is a total asshole to everyone, especially the main character and cheats on the love interest behind her back or something like that. Some example of these douchebags are in The Wedding Singer, Wedding Singers, and basically every other comedy movie in existence. Why do these guys exist? Just so we can hate them? If so, congratulations. You succeeded
#5: Bullet Time and Slow-Mo Action- Now, these are cliches that never really started as a cliches. They started out in The Matrix where Neo dodged Agent Smith’s bullets. It was cool. So cool, infact, that everyone else wanted to rip that off. And so began the fall of there once original ideas. Before we know it, movies were ripping them off, and trying to be funny. Hell, it got to the point where even Shrek was using it. Yes, an animated movie even started using it. How did this original idea flop more than a fish on shore
#4: Misunderstandings - Yeah, you all know these scenes. The misunderstandings. It is those scenes where people have a major fight, and then they all start doing a boring as shit montage, with sad music, and they just walk and it goes on and on and on. This has been done in far too many movies. It has been done before in LITERALLY every romantic comedy film ever made. Not one has gotten away from this god awful cliche. And the question remains. WHY ARE FILMMAKERS STILL PUTTING THIS SHIT IN THEIR MOVIES!!!
#3: Villains Survive - Now, this is a cliche that is even more unrealistic than the explosion one. This is where the protagonist thinks he killed the main villain, after defeating him in a way that would normally kill him, only for the villain to come back after the main character thinks he has won. I mean, my god, how can anyone survive. And I have seen villains stabbed, shot, blown up, and a bunch of other shit, and yet they don’t stay down. Why can’t they just stay the fuck down
#2: Pointless Musical Numbers - I don’t need to say anymore. Pointless Musical Numbers are pointless. Just singing out of random is stupid… that’s all I can say
#1: Monologuing Villains - My GOD I hate this cliche. And I mean I REALLY hate it. This is the cliche that inspired this list. That shows how much I hate it. Okay, so, this cliche is when a villain has the main character at gunpoint, or is about to kill him, but, instead of killing him, he just talks and talks and talks. The thought of the protagonist finding a way to escape never crosses the villains mind. EVER! The Scream movies does this. Every single killer tells the main character their plan, only to die seconds afterward. But, the biggest offender of this cliche by far are all of the James Bond movies. I’m sorry, but, it’s true. All of the movies has a villain monologue, when he should be killing James Bond. No, he just keeps flapping his jaw, thinking he’s won. And it’s this cliche that made me hate the small things in movies so much. What else could have taken the number one spot
So, there you have it. Did you enjoy the list. Tell me what you thought below. With that, I will see you all next time

Wow. I mean wow. I thought it wasn't possible for people to get dumber. There's the Condom Challenge, where you put a condom in your nose and pull it out your mouth and hope you don't suffocate, then there's the Cinnamon Challenge where you eat cinammon and try not to choke. But, people could get dumber. Here it is, the fire challenge, where you set yourself on fire for no goddamn reason. What the hell, what is wrong with this world. Are people really this stupid that they actually set themselves on fire. Apperently they do. Its even been shown on the news, for gods sake.
Well, that's all I got. This is a stupid trend that makes me wonder why the help some people have the internet. But, hey' that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
