Not every film can be a cinematic masterpiece. And that’s perfectly fine! Sometimes I’m in the mood to watch a beautiful tear-jerker like Titanic. And other days, I just want to turn off my brain and giggle while watching The Master of Disguise (despite its 1% rating on Rotten Tomatoes).

But if you’re a cinephile, you might find it difficult to watch a movie or TV show without putting on your critic cap. You may immediately notice continuity errors, plot holes and unrealistic actions. And if that’s the case, you’re probably going to love this list. We took a trip to the [Bad] Movie Details subreddit, where audiences call out the most ridiculous aspects of films they’ve seen. From strange costume choices to questionable writing, enjoy scrolling through these details that viewers just couldn’t look past!

    I think 19 years is pretty long for a hollywood couple. Other people who are not constantly chased bs papparazzi are getting divorced much earlier sometimes

    And not covered in wax. That was a wakeup call. I was there for my sister in the delivery room, my niece was cone-headed, purple, and waxy. I mean I knew what was coming, but to be faced with it is kinda different. The nurses did let me hand her back to my sister once they got her all cleaned up. No, I don't have children and had never been there before or since.

    Really? I loved that movie, and thought it was great to show kids (and adults) that friends can be open about their feelings and insecurities. And that friends do not have to be exactly the same and can learn from each other. Also that girls can be awesome and badass friends as well! Not an inch of gay to be found. And if there was, so what!

    I am latina and I saw this movie expecting poor representation and bad pronunciation. And yes, they were there, but the worst thing is that it is a bad movie, with a bad story and cringey songs.

    Fun fact, “in the eyes of deer, a tiger's orange fur would appear more like a muted shade of green. This is because deer, like many other prey animals, have dichromatic vision, meaning they have fewer color receptors in their eyes than humans. They struggle to distinguish between red, orange, and green, so the tiger's orange coat blends into the green foliage of its habitat.”

    The new style characters are also a sly nod to how Hollywood has exploited all 3DFX studios into the ground by not paying them. Making current CGI look worse than 1in dome 90 movies. Not really, but that did happen.
