10 Most Annoying Movie Characters EVER

8. Amanda Kirby - Jurassic Park III

Jurassic Park III is hardly a water-tight piece of cinema from a story or character perspective, but it's almost like the script went out of its way to make Amanda Kirby (Tea Leoni) as migraine-inducingly obnoxious as possible.

Amanda heads to Isla Sorna with her ex-husband Paul (William H. Macy) and Alan Grant (Sam Neill) in search of her missing son Eric and boyfriend Ben (Mark Harelik).

She consequently spends a large bulk of her screen time shouting "Eriiiiic!" and "Beeen!," screaming hysterically - especially once finding Ben's corpse - and basically displaying not even the faintest shred of survival instinct.

If you're feeling brave, check out this supercut of Amanda's most annoying moments.

Despite the series' generally ruthless approach to killing off undesirable characters, Amanda regrettably makes it to the end of the movie in one piece.

Yet given that Jurassic Park III is basically the franchise entry nobody likes, we were thankfully never "blessed" with her prescience again in any sequels. We love you, Téa Leoni, but this ain't it.
