7 Mistakes You Won't Believe Every Hollywood Action Movie Continues To Make

2. How They're Only In A Rush When They're Not Talking

This is a very common issue seen in many movies, where time is seemingly very important until the main character decides they need a chin-wag with their nemesis about their rivalry. Again, the Bond films are riddled with this type of error in movies €“ such talk often goes on for a few minutes while the movie has given the impression that because the bad guys are winning, there are people are still dying outside this verbal sparring session. But still, the hero character seems more keen on a heavy breathing, often shouting, and by no means necessary chat with the enemy than actively stopping the potential slaughter. The movie will emphasise how time is a factor throughout, but when they skip a scene all that is just forgotten so we can marvel at two actors going at it with all the linguistic and emotive skills they can showcase to the tiring audience. This is going on seemingly at the same time where the clock is counting down in another scene, but you're made to think it's past tense and that the hero still has time to save the day. The Lord of the Rings is another film guilty of doing it, as battle scenes between the good and the bad sides are often ignored for a chinwag between the two important characters of the storyline. I've seen many films with civilians being killed outside, such as Transformers and The Matrix, but said incident is being ignored in favour of a pointless chat with the enemy we all know the hero will eventually kill. You'd think they'd be doing anything they can to prevent more civilian deaths, but clearly not. For example, in the Wachowski siblings' series, main character Neo has a very long-winded chat with his ultimate enemy in the latter scenes of the third film while his friends are dying at the hands of the machines. I suppose it just might be Keanu Reeves' range and the fact they need to give him a platform to showcase his acting, but the fact of the matter is that he doesn't seem bothered at all.
