Things in movies that don’t make sense to me…..

Note: This is not an all-inclusive exhaustive list… just the stuff on the top of my head.

Movie: Terminator Salvation
Skynet captures Kyle Reese to lure John Connor to them and end the resistance through his death.
QUESTION: Why not just kill Kyle Reese at that point and thus prevent John from being born?

Movie: Star Wars (Original Trilogy)
Galaxy far, far away, hundreds of planets, hundreds of species, etc etc etc etc….
QUESTION: Why do two relatively primitive species, Jawas and Ewoks, both speak the same language, AND C-3P0 needs to “learn” Ewok on the fly, but understands Jawa fluently?

Movie: Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Lex uses Superman’s DNA from a strand of hair in the “Superman Museum” to create “Nucular Man” or whatever he’s called.
QUESTION: How did Lex cut Kal-El’s hair off the massive wrecking ball it was holding up with a simple pair of bolt-cutters??? Also, why did they make such a crappy Superman movie?

Movie: Ghost Rider
Nick Cage is rescued by the devil or whatever to be a “Ghost Rider” and exact vengeance on those that have wronged him.
QUESTION: Can I have those hours of my life back? Talk about ruining a comic book….

Movie: Signs

QUESTION: Why does a race of inter-stellar being who are fatally wounded by WATER (like the Wicked Witch of the West) choose to invade a planet PRIMARILY covered in water inhabited by life forms that are PRIMARILY composed of water?

QUESTION: HUH????

Marty goes forward 30 years, then back to 1985, then back to 1955 to fix the mess the writers put him in.
QUESTION: How many different narcotics were the writers on when they added the part about the Cubs winning the World Series in 2015? Even I couldn’t hold the suspension of disbelief.
