Films you have issues with...

Star Wars and its ilk - Great battles between starships just like 18th century sea battles. But then just shifting some small asteroids into the path of near-light speed ships doesn't have quite the same visual impact, does it?

(Actually, virtually anything with technology in it, it's always mis-represented under 'artistic licence')

What's wrong with that?

Independence day, the whole thing was just a bit far fetched y'know.

Especially that the 'advanced aline civilisation' only had small ships whose principle weapons were line of sight targetted.

I just couldn't suspend my disbelief at that point.

There is a deleted scene where Professor Super-Genius was sat in the ship trying to connect his laptop to it, being able to crack it in hours is Hollywood nonsense but at least they had thought of that in the first place!

Spinning off from the star wars thread...

What films do you have an issue with??

LOTR i was disappointed that legolas and gimli were reduced to comedy sidekicks rather than some legendary fighters they were meant to be.

dont get me started on armageddon...

Lots, but since you bring that one up, Aragorn reduced to a petulant runaway, Elrond is a , and the story makes no sense (Hobbits revealing themselves to a Black Rider? It should have been film over right there)

....and why didn't they just get the eagles to fly him in and out in the first place?

Any space based film that puts space ships level and in the same up/down orientation in relation to eachother.

Space is not a road, there is no up or down nor is there a right way up.

The Matrix.

I just don't get what people like about it.

Mediocre story, acting by Ronseal, special effects were OK but do not distract from the story, or rather lack of any decent story.
