I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Yeah that’s a good take, it’s like a modern Fifth Element.

I have seen Chronicle, but I probably need to rewatch it. Not sure if they just had bad direction or writing, but they seemed more like siblings instead of love interests.

Same director. I didn't see it, but I love The Fifth Element

YMMV.

Without Chris Tucker, the Fifth Element would not be the same. There's no Chris Tucker here. There's no innocent/badass Milla Jovovich either. There's Rihanna, but that scene was forced as well. The quick wit action hero is almost done well.

Really, carrying the movie, there's just two smart-ass surly 20-somethings that need to bone and get it over with. That trope is LONG dead.
