Well I wouldn't have a problem is a villain stole the power, they should just be gone for a while to practice and then come face the hero. It's the face that in a week you can face the main hero. It's doesn't make sense.

You must not have seen Rogue One on a big screen. On my TV, he looks okay, but on a IMAX screen when I first saw the movie, people in the audience were openly laughing at Tarkin each time he'd show up and making comments about how awful the CGI looked.
Same thing with the SW prequels, they look way better on TV than on a big screen.

When hero guy is in trouble and sends wife/family to stay with her sister/mother.

And then, one of the two things will always happen:
1. They'll turn around halfway and drive up just as the bad guys get there (after being told it would happen)
2. The bad guys have the "book of address for all good guy family members" and show up with them tied up soon afterward

That's not correct. He nearly kills himself the first time he uses them, and years later, before their final battle, he points out that, due to her time travel, and him taking the long way, he's had the Quake powers longer than she has.

I really hate suspense/thriller movies where the victims just stand there waiting to be hack by the killer while the killer moves so slow you could have run a long time ago or fight back. LOL
You're right, I forgot about the time travel part.

Any more, yes. I'd rather watch the Star Wars Holiday Special than anything made since 1983.

Say what you will but I loved her in "Paul"...
Yeah she was good in that. A lot of the 2000- SNL people are either funny in movies or so annoying you want to punch them in the face.

Movies need to get better at doing archers and bows and arrows. I realize most of the time the arrows and even the drawstring are CG, but all of these bows seem to take no strength to draw. Legolas, Hawkeye, Arrow--it all looks bad. If it is a longbow--the bow never bends when they pull the string, its like the drawstring is just a rubber band. If it is a compound bow, they never "cock" it properly.
I'm not a bowhunter, but my Dad was pretty much all my life until he got too old. I'm no expert by any means but I've seen enough real bow action to know its pretty much never done right in the movies.
One particular instance is in the first Avengers movie during the "Budapest" scene. Clint and Nat are talking and he is just twanging away without using ANY effort. Yeah, I get that he is a master archer and all, but for a bow to actually shoot with any power there has to be resistance in the pull. The way he was shooting, those arrows wouldn't have gone twenty feet.
Also, speed shooters almost never reach back to a quiver for every shot, they hold the arrows in their hands. But, being that Legolas is an elf and magic and all, I guess I can forgive that.
....Just something I think Hollywood could improve on.

I think this is one of those things that really just plays into continuity more than anything else. It lets them not have to worry about splicing different takes together; but the character has 3 arrows left, rather than 1.
LOL! what movie have I missed?!?

Tired of seeing actors playing roles. Get people that really do what the characters do in real life. J/k

I feel like I got lucky with ghostbusters. I enjoyed it, but I also had the realization, about 10 minute in, that "Oh, this is not a Ghostbusters movie, it's a 90 minute SNL skit about Ghostbusters. Got it."
Under that context, my brain enjoyed it a good bit.

I suspect that a lot of this comes from a misconception that the power of the bow comes from the string and not the limbs. I say this because if you look at most, if not all toy bows have elastic bow strings with the limbs doing pretty much nothing.
Also, from what I understand, "dry firing" bows is supposed to be a bad thing as in it can injure the archer. But I don't know enough about archery to know much about this.
