I mean on one hand, Hollywood makes any number of brain-dead romantic comedies that guys pretend to enjoy on date night. They suck horribly but we get to show how "open" we are to different kinds of movies and we all move on. When it comes to guy movies, though, the rules are different. In just about every movie that should be a nice, 90 minute roller-coaster ride of a** kicking, blood, fights, explosions, aliens, zombies and gratuitous shower scenes, Hollywood has to throw in the totally stupid and pointless "love subplot". Remember in Gladiator, how it opens with some SERIOUS dismemberment and beatdowns and you're thinking, "Okay, this is for me..." but then they spring this whole "his old flame still wants him and he misses his family blah blah blah". BORING! Get back to slicing everyone open and asking the crowd if they are entertained!!!!! WHY DO GUYS HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH RETARDED CHICK FLICKS WHEN WE NEVER GET A MOVIE THAT DOESN'T WASTE TIME TRYING TO "GIVE THE GIRLS SOMETHING TO WATCH"????

CAN I GET A WITNESS?!?!?!?!?!??!

Most movies have a mix to get the largest audience possible....but you'd be surprised the gender stereotypes are always accurate in movies.;)

That "boring" stuff was what turned Gladiator from a generic action flick into something Oscar-worthy.

To me, there are some movies that have those stupid plot points to them, but not all movies, and it's not always the women. As for you TC, your ending pretty much ruined any point that you tried to get across.

I think kid characters ruin a movie. I personally don't mind the love theme in an action movie, but then you insert a kid in there and it just ruins it cause you know the kid will somehow get in the way of the hero.

Maximus asking people if they're entertained happens after his family gets killed and he goes on his quest for revenge. If his family doesn't get killed, the rest of the movie can't happen.

OI! leave Gladiator alone. YOu should have used The Transformers(2007)as a better example. All we wanna see is giant robots smashing the crap out of each other but instead, we get a little high school romance thing. yuck.

Sajadene turned out to be serious, and since your comment offshoots from her circumstance, I assumed it inherited the serious trait.

I just hate in action flicks when **** is going to hell, then two people...stop, gaze into each other's eyes, and kiss.....Seriously? **** is going to hell, that kissing stuff can wait until you are safe. Every action movie subplot does this....EVERY MOVIE!!

G.I.JOE is the most recent offender.

Don't say this in real life - while there are no women on the internet, you'd get your face clawed off if you said this near a group of women IRL.

I dunno, If my family were killed or someone had backstabbed me...or I generally had a reason to go ape **** and kill everyone, getting laid would be at the very bottom of my list. There's a time for sex and a time for killing, the 2 are mutually exclusive.

Men ruin movies because they wanna see rubbish like the Final Destination over the Time Travellers Wife... that was the worst date ever. HellsAngel2c

The real honest to god truth is that Men ruin movies and women ruin music. Throw in some hot girl and guys will watch absolutely anything (Transformers). Sure some women do watch movies because the guy is hot, but men are more the problem here. Think about how many actresses have made their careers on being nothing but hot. Alot. How about men? few. Why? Because either women actually enjoy good acting over good looks, or women just have insanely high standards.

On the other hand, think about all the terrible boy bands and singers who survive due to their looks. Who listens to the super whacked out boy bands? Women. Who listens to the pretty boy with mole? Women. Who listens to the tacky and insanely annoying girl bands? Women. Who listens to the teen drama queen? Women...well, females atleast. When it comes to music, guys don't care how hot you are. If you can't sing, we don't give a damn about you...women/girls on the other hand are completely content with supporting the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana and Britney Spears and every other terrible singer you can think of.

Ok, I'll give you Limp and Linkin, but you would seriously be surprised how many women support Soulja Boy. I would even be willing to go as far as saying that the demographics of Soulja's supporters are 50/50 women to men.

I'd agree with the first part, and somewhat of the second. Its not really 'women' who cause Hannah Montannas success, its young teenage girls who are still 'following the trend'. You cant really blme them...they dunno what they're doing!

No the males who drool over Megan Fox ruined transformers. Its because guys will watch anything with a hot girl, that Megan Fox's character was even put into the movie.

Maximus's family were necessary in Gladiator. Poor example to use. Also, I agree for the most part. Though romantic subplots, if utilised correctly, are vital.

I don't mind romance subplots when they tie into the main plot. But I hate when so much attention is given to them when they are irrelevant to the plot. Example: Angel and the Undercover Hooker Cop (forgot her name) in Dexter Season 3.
