[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2440873, member: 30035"] I agree about the jerky motion editing. I didn't like it in "Gladiator" (the first film I recall seeing it in) and I don't like it anywhere else. I want to be able to see what's happening! It seems like a cheat to avoid having to really show something. The loud music issue is another good one. The music should enhance, not overpower. And on the topic of music, why does every movie have to have a pop music song in the soundtrack? I also dislike the trend (although that's really been a trend throughout the history of filmmaking) of casting big-box-office stars in roles they are completely unsuited for. I really don't go to see a film just to see the star, and I doubt that most other people do either. If it looks like something we'd enjoy we'll go to see it no matter who's in it. Look how popular the original Star Wars became with unknowns in the roles; or look at "Batman Begins" - how many average viewers (not ENworld members ;) ) knew who Christian Bale was? Movie trailers that show all the best scenes are also an extreme annoyance to me. Of course, they save me money since I don't need to see the movie. ;) And can't the people who prepare the trailers find some other pieces of music besides that ESPosthumous piece, or 'O Fortuna' from Carmina Burana, or stealing the theme from another movie??
