Entire plot lines hinging on people not explaining themselves which would take about 5 seconds.
The idiot plot.
Great video by osp on the topic if you prefer to consume your information that way.
The only good example I can think of where people actually explain themselves is Agents of SHIELD, which isn’t even a movie. It’s amazing. She doesn’t doubt his loyalty for a second and understands, given their situation, why he had to keep it a secret from her. You still get drama, but it’s drama from everyone being on the same dramatic page.
I’m a software engineer, so basically anything involving software/hacking. It’s always inaccurate. (Because accurate hacking is incredibly boring.)
Except for that one scene in The Matrix Reloaded where we get to see actual vulnerabilities exploited.
That looks like the closest to realistic hacking I’ve seen, until you get to the graphical password box that starts flashing “access granted”. None of my SSH servers have ever done that.
But, credit where credit is due, at least she’s using realistic hacking tools.
So you don’t type 90 wpm your way into the mainframe for work? You might need chew some more gum and change your laptop theme to black and green.
Here’s some sugar for you
People driving while staring intently at their passenger for way too long.
Cutting the palm to spill blood. Typically followed by a huge battle scene where a gash in your palm isn’t going to affect your sword play/battle prowess
Bad physics. Totally pulls me out of immersion.
No, Captain America cannot lean back and hold a helicopter that is lifting off. It doesn’t matter how strong he is - he will be lifted once there is enough force generated from the propellers. Basically anything Batman does that involves gravity in the Nolan films is similar.
The magic I can get behind. The mutant stuff or dragons or even time travel in superhero movies doesn’t bother me. It’s the lack of sensible mechanics on an alleged Earth that I’m bothered by.
I get your point, but I will say the Captain America scene isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility. Cap weighs the helicopter down for a few seconds, and grabs a support beam for the helipad as soon as he can. If Cap can keep a grip on both the beam and the helicopter, then the propellers will only lift him if either Cap or the support beams break.
Of course, whether he should have had that much effect on the helicopter for those first few seconds is another matter entirely and I’m not enough of a physicist to make that call.
Yes! This seems like the right movie. For a few seconds before he grabs the pole, he does just lean back, right? That is the part that concerns me the most. At least this in the image seems doable if somebody is cap strong and angry.
I don’t think he’s able to stop it by just leaning, I thought it was pulling him along.
Edit: yeah, doesn’t look like he’s stopped it till he grabs into the railing. https://youtu.be/1ccey7IJLCM
