Armageddon
For what ever reason in the movie, it is more feasible to teach miners to be astronauts than it is to teach astronauts to be miners.

"Identity Thief", with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.
1) Bateman's character was going to be fired from his new job, even though the boss knew that Bateman wasn't guilty...
2) the police detective had information that the real crook would be at a certain place at a certain time, and said "no" to going and ARRESTING A CROOK IN THE MIDDLE OF COMMITTING A CRIME...
3) Bateman offers to go catch the crook himself, and the cop says OK... which is basically authorizing someone to kidnap a person and transport them over state lines, a federal offense that usually ends with 20 years in prison.
Plus, the rest of the movie is "Laugh at her, she's fat... laugh at her, she's fat... laugh at her, she's fat... Why are you laughing at her, because she's fat? YOU'RE A HORRIBLE PERSON!"

Hell Comes to Frogtown.
99% of the human race has become sterile, and the last fertile women have been kidnapped by a community of amphibious mutants who use them as sex slaves. One of the last fertile men is tasked with rescuing them, while wearing an explosive codpiece to keep him on-mission.

Ocean's Twelve. they go through a ridiculous amount of effort and get most of their guys arrested trying to steal a fake egg when they'd already stolen the real one weeks prior not to mention the whole Julia Roberts' character looks like Julia Roberts subplot Armageddon For what ever reason in the movie, it is more feasible to teach miners to be astronauts than it is to teach astronauts to be miners. Ben Affleck asked Michael Bay about that. Michael Bay told him to shut the f*** up |

The Purge movies.
Raises so many questions.
Like in the first movie people are upset that the main characters are profiting off the purge with their home security business... but they openly support the purge.. can’t have one with out the other! We want this night of total anarchy and murder but how dare our neighbors sell us things that stop us from getting murdered.
f***ing hell that is a Stupid movie

JFK
Great movie, but the conspiracy theory plot is just absurd and repeats long debunked arguments.

I know people enjoy Dalton Bond these days but The Living Daylights has an idiotic plot if you really think on it, especially for what is supposed to be the adult in the room sort of Bond movie. Basically a rogue Russian general and an arms dealer are doing these dealings to fund the drug trade out of the Middle East but start killing MI6 agents to restart Smiert Spionam (killing enemy spies), ostensibly to prevent MI6 for catching them and to frame John Rhys Davies. The problem is that none of this makes any sense because no one at MI6 gave a crap about any of this before Koskov tried to "defect" so him defecting and the restarting of the Smiert Spionam essentially is what got their operation on Bond's radar in the first place. Also, all of these various assassinations scared the hell out of the CIA and got their operation on Felix Leiter's radar, so basically these guys are complete idiots. Some of the weakest Bond heels ever.

Some of the weakest Bond heels ever. true, but the scene of them smuggling out the general at the beginning was fun ("Sorry, old man. Section 26, paragraph 5. Need-to-know. Sure you understand."), and tell me you didn't like Bond yelling "We've nothing to declare" as he slides under the checkpoint in a cello case |

I didn't say it didn't have its moments but it seemed oddly like Bond was written somewhat generically in that movie since they didn't know if it would have been one last Moore run, or if Brosnan would be Bond, or someone else like Dalton as it turned out. I think that's really the main problem Dalton had from the beginning. Fans wanted Brosnan, but that very interest caused Remington Steele to be renewed and it cost him the role for the next 8 years. I wouldn't have minded one more Dalton go around in the early 90s, say 1991-92 era before turning over the reins to Brosnan. But then that long 6 year layoff between movies really built up anticipation when Goldeneye came out in late 1995. It's funny because my dad has been a mega Bond fan since Dr. No so I saw various 80s Bond movies at the theater as a kid (AVTAK, Living Daylights, Licence to Kill) but they were all just...meh. By the time Goldeneye came out I was 16 years old and firmly in that target audience and for the first time truly GOT what makes a Bond movie special.

I know many people consider it a beloved classic, but I have to say it: Wayne's World.
The central conflict is about the two idiot protagonists signing a contract without reading it. The oh-so-terrible thing this contract requires them to do is...advertise for their sponsors, which is the most basic principle of entertainment media. Our heroes decide instead that it's a good idea to respond to this by insulting their sponsors, the people giving them money, on the air. And the movie ends on a non-sequitor.

If I remember correctly, they bought the show to ruin it or something like that. |

Another Bateman one is The Switch-Up. Dude accidentally knocks over his best friends semen sample that she would be using for artificial incemination and replaces it with his own thus having a child with her. No way in the end would he get the girl but he would definitely get something in the end in prison. also Failure to Launch...Seriously we are supposed to glorify Matthew MCHEYHEYHEY's character for simply being a freakin adult who is near middle aged...ugh |

Home Alone...Seriously the minute they realized they accidentally left their kid a parent would call the cops and have them there within 10 minutes They did call the cops, and after the cops got no answer they never tried to see if there was a kid there. But, it's obvious why they weren't as worried as you'd think. Peter was a mob boss. He never freaked out about anything, you know why? Because nobody was going to f*** with a boss. The pizza delivery guy never calls the cops, because his boss told him that "Nobody calls the cops on the McAllisters. Last one that did, became the special sauce at McDonald's." Marley worked for Peter at one point, and would protect Peter's entire family. Peter knew that Kevin was going to be fine. |

The silliness of Identity Thief is that people have their credit cards and whatever hacked all the time but it's not like you go to another state and literally have to find that person. You just call the bank or your card company to report it and they will credit your account. File a police report if necessary. If they don't help you out, take additional measures by contacting the Better Business Bureau or CFPB. The movie literally advocates for a man to become a vigilante and find the person who hacked his identity.
Add into this: I knew that they would eventually do some hearts and flowers crap with Melissa McCarthy's character to make her sympathetic. I KNEW they would try this and that it would suck.

While I did enjoy Suicide Squad even despite it's obvious flaws and troubled production. One of the plotlines that was said by a main government official was ridiculously eye rolling and made no sense. "If Superman was to turn evil, rip the roof off the White House, and kidnap the President. What would we be able to do?"
You sure as hell aren't going to stop him with Harley Quinn, Slipknot, Killer Croc, Captain Boomerang, or Deadshot. The only one who would realistically stand a chance against him is Enchantress and maybe Diablo(And even he's pushing it).
