Movies you would change?

Do you feel that a scene in some movies ruin the effect? Some movies seem to be made up of ‘blocks’, one of which always deters one from viewing the movie again. For instance, National Treasure 2, where Nicholas Cage does his usual overacting in the ridiculous and embarrassing scene in Buckingham Palace. Yes, he has to be arrested, but anyone would normally be taken straight away, I would have thought. The later scene of running a red light to get a picture of the wood block is unbelievable in that they download a copy immediately, and it is clear and does not pixilate when zoomed. Annoying and distracting effects include the recent need to move the camera in circles around a talking pair, or shaking the camera to give ‘immediacy’. Years ago, the camera was not allowed to become noticeable. Now, they just don’t care. At least the music has improved unless it overpowers any speech, yet they still insist on loud ‘da-da-da’ full orchestra in horror and thriller movies whenever anybody opens a door or cupboard, even if nothing happens. Man on Fire would probably be good, but the camera work just makes me dizzy and is unwatchable. All in all, this leaves few ‘perfect’ movies.
