You know those movies that you just love to watch, but there is something that kind of nags at you, just a bit?

Well here is my list and why.

13th Warrior. The track the cannibalistic uncool critters, and discover a cave, which has to be accessed by a rope bridge.

In stead of wandering all the way down inside the damn cave, why not roll a few casks of lamp oil down the damn thing, start a big fire at the mouth of the cave to draw out all the oxygen, and CUT THE DAMN ROPE BRIDGE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!
There is an old axiom, you dont chase no bear into his cave unless you are REALLY stupid.

Not to mention, I dont care what the old soothsayer said, I would have taken every able bodied guy with me.

2. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Kevin Costner, Iowa farm boy accent, enough said.

3. Pirates of the Caribbean... look you know you cant trust Jack Sparrow, he is decidedly not acting at all like a self respecting pirate. He should have shackled Keira Knightley to a bed and had his way with her.

Sorry ladies, but pirates were not known for gentlemanly ways....

4. Alien. Look you got an acid drooling critter running around the ship, you dont go looking for no damn cat.

Yeah Jumper just pissed me off.

I just saw it cause I took everyones advice when they said it wasn't worth the admission even if I took in the Matinee.

Just a few issues I had

What exactly are Paladins
What exactly are Jumpers
Why are the Fighting
Why does Sammy L kill everyone with a relativly MODERN looking knife
If it is religious why is there no mention of Dogma other than only God should have such a Power
Who started the War
How did his Mother a Paladin give Birth to a Jumper
Why is the age of 5 a magical number
Why do jumpers need Jump sights
Why was the Ann Arbor Library the site he kept going too
How come he was able to get inside the Safe having never seen what it looked like inside
What happened to the other guy who he tricked into the Electrical Cables
Why does he have it out for Sammy L
WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT OF THIS MOVIE?

The Spent MILLIONS on Special Effects and the destruction of a Double Decker Bus Why couldn't they have spent a few thousand more to adress the lack of a PLOT.

The Imagry was wonderful and I have watched it like three times because of it but the above reasons are things that just GRATE on my brain.

Why do jumpers need Jump sights. They have to visualize a place to go, or else their brain can't take them there. Didn't you read any of McCaffrey's Dragonrider series? You would know this. The dragonrider must visualize where they want to go, and their dragon sees it in their brain, and takes them there. Sheesh.

Why was the Ann Arbor Library the site he kept going too. Because he spent so much time there, that in times of stress or panic, that's where his brain took him. That was his "home" point, as it were.

How come he was able to get inside the Safe having never seen what it looked like inside. In the bank? Didn't they show a guard taking him down there to the restroom or something, so he knew what it looked like? Or are you talking about when he returned to a safe that he had been in before? I only saw it once, I can't remember the specific one you're talking about.

How could Mr. and Mrs. Smith not know that the other one was a hired killer?
