10 Things Movie Fans Find Too Distracting

10. Bad Celebrity Cameos

This isn't a knock on cameos altogether, as some help create genuinely brilliant and equally unexpected moments in some of our favourite films. Appearances like Hugh Jackman turning up again as Wolverine in X-Men: First Class and Johnny Depp returning to the world of 21 Jump Street in the movie adaptation both worked so well because they made sense for the story.

Yet, when a celebrity is just shoe-horned into a feature for the hell of it, most fans are taken straight out of whatever flick they're watching and forced to watch a high profile personality invade their experience just because they fancied a go at doing the movie thing.

Michael Jackson springing up in Men in Black II, Jimmy Fallon making an appearance inside of a Gyrosphere in Jurassic World and Paul McCartney playing a character in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales are all clear examples of studios just massaging the egos of famous names who wanted to appear in their favourite franchises, all while adding some more 'star power' to movies which weren't exactly lacking it in the first place.
