Any time I hear someone in a movie say "think with your heart" or the equivalent it makes me rage so hard that you would not believe the couple of paragraphs of vitriol I just deleted.

Dunno if you can consider this stuff cliche, but the way a lot of films are injecting weird imperfections and lens 'effects' into the image gets really distracting sometimes. I used to go a whole movie without seeing many lens flares or chromatic aberration or shit hitting the lens or dust and scratches on the lens, etc. Lately it's become pretty ubiquitous in big budget films and in indie films where the team wants to show off all their after effects filters.

By far, the idea that there is a prophecy and our hero is the fulfillment of it is the worst, in my opinion. It makes me just check out of the movie.

The hero's getting beaten by the big bad in a round of fisticuffs, and then is revived by a flashback of his dad, teacher, mother, neighbour etc. telling him 'be strong/ follow your heart/be the 'one', leading the big bad to suddenly forget how to block or fight...

Girl meets boy they fall in love
She says he's everything she's dreamed of
But when they get married before he's aware
She changes his habits the way he combs his hair
She changes him to someone he's never been
And then complains he's not like other men
Now really I find this most illogical
