19 Surprising Modern Film Habits That Secretly Drive Movie Fans Crazy Revealed!
But in fact, there are actually some trends in modern films that infuriate any picky viewer. Yes, from a technical, visual point of view, the films have only gotten better, but everything else… Just agree, there are many points here that can be complained about.
Recently, a thread appeared in the AskReddit community, the topic starter of which asked people just one question: “What annoys you about new movies these days?” As of today, the thread has nearly 5.8K upvotes, and around 8.7K comments, as varied as Eddie Murphy’s characters in some of his own films. Acting and sound mixing, plot misses and endless sequels or remakes – in other words, modern Hollywood has left no stone unturned.
The most interesting thing is that another twenty years will pass and we will sing praises to the very films that we criticize with such passion today, but so far Bored Panda has collected for you a selection of the most interesting, unexpected and simply the most popular comments from the original thread. So please feel free to scroll to the very end, and if you don’t find something on this list that bugs you personally, just be sure to add it in the comments. Credits.
Post-credits scene. We are almost sure that many claims can be made for the cinema of any era, both justified and not so, but these are all exclusively games of our subconscious. Someday we will talk about this in more detail, but this is a completely different story.

The sound mixing. Turn up the volume to hear the dialogue and suddenly you have damaged ear drums because there was an explosion. It’s insane. Looking at you Nolan.
Trailers. They’re always about 4 minutes long, give away the entire plot, show all the best scenes and jokes and basically ruin the movie before you’ve even watched it.
That it’s somehow seen as avant garde to have your actors mumble. If I can’t understand what they are saying I *will* lose interest. Also when an entire movie is too dark to see anything. Sure, there are times it needs to be dark for the plot, the time etc, but if I have to spend the whole flick squinting, I’m not going to enjoy it.
I miss practical effects and props because it forced people to shoot more in real locations. Kept movies feeling more “real” and grounded even with more fantastical setting. I think alot of 80s 90s movies and a perfect balance of practical and computer effects.
When they aren’t “new” but an unnecessary sequel to something from 30 years ago, or a sequel to a movie that had a definitive ending and never needed a sequel. I’m looking at you, A Christmas Story Christmas.
For horror and mystery, everything having to be explained.
A movie like the original Alien would be lambasted by online critics if it were released today, for the simple reason that by the end of it you know next to nothing about what happened. What was the creature? What was the derelict? Why did the company want it, really? The movie has stood the test of time precisely because it avoided answering those and other questions.
