10 Stupidest Mistakes Made By Movie Heroes

We're all smarter than these absent-minded plebeians.

If Hollywood cinema is to be believed at all, then practically all movie heroes are utter idiots when it comes to making competent decisions. We're not just talking about simple mistakes like forgetting to lock the front door either, oh no. Movie heroes deal with much more important matters like saving the world or escaping murderous computer programs, problems that, you would assume, require quite a lot of brain power. Unfortunately, there seems to be a severe lack of intelligence where some heroes are concerned, and whether it's a grand, wise council ruling that an untrained Jedi should be the one to protect a politically important figure or a doctor framed for murder forgetting a simple yet key piece of evidence, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you'd fare a million times better than these supposed 'heroes'. No matter how supposedly intelligent, wise, strong or brave these entrants are, they all have incompetence to answer for. But don't just believe these words, take a look at the list below and see for yourselves just how silly heroes can be. Hell, you can even pick out the ones that you think you could do better then these halfwits.
