10 Diabolical Movie Mistakes You Won't Believe They Made TWICE

preview

There is nothing more annoying than watching someone repeatedly make the same mistake.&nbsp;Like the dad who insists on wearing shorts every single February,&nbsp;the movie business is responsible for trying the same stupid things again and again without ever learning. Sometimes this happens with multiple films across multiple years, while there are some cases where it happens within the same franchise. Those are the most frustrating of all.&nbsp;Lazy writing tropes, bad character designs, heavy-handed studio interference - these are the sorts of things you'd think Hollywood bigwigs would have learned don't go over well with audiences. Clearly, that's not the case, as otherwise, this list wouldn't exist.&nbsp;Some of these movie mistakes you can chalk up to trends or business-minded decisions, but given the amount of backlash some of the following mistakes were met with - some as recently as just a few years ago - it's genuinely shocking they managed to happen on multiple separate occasions.From casting blunders and weird costuming to franchise retcons and naked attempts at invoking nostalgia, the following movie mistakes were bad enough the first time, let alone the second.
	
	
		In early 2024, it was revealed that Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, and Penelope Cruz would be joining director Maggie Gyllenhaal to make The Bride!, a re-do of classic monster movie Bride of Frankenstein.&nbsp;It was later revealed that Bale would be playing Frankenstein’s monster and pictures of the actor in costume were shared online. Ironically, considering the Welshman famously played Batman, the Internet made many comparisons between him and one of the Caped Crusader’s biggest enemies.Fans noticed that Bale’s monster design was a dead ringer for Jared Leto’s infamous incarnation of the Joker from Suicide Squad. This version of the Clown Prince of Crime was roundly mocked for his golden grills and audacious tattoos, and wouldn’t you know it, this recent costume has also been memed to within an inch of its life.First look at Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale in The Bride, courtesy of director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Instagram.

Suicide Squad came out in 2016, which means that, in just eight years, the costume department for The Bride! forgot how bad the reaction to Joker’s look was.Hopefully, Gyllenhall will be able to shake off this bad press and deliver what could be a really fun film. As for Bale, he should probably stay off Twitter for a while.
