CGI is used in either hand-to-hand fighting or car chases...Hire someone to do it or forget its ridiculous implausibility--No suspension of disbelief.
Characters sigh under extreme distress and quip, "I'm getting too old for this shit."
A necessary trip to the graveyard always has to take place in the dead of night.

THE KILLER HAS HIS VICTIM ON THE GROUND, CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HER.....
there is ALWAYS a knife, scissors, vase, paperweight ETC. close by for the victim to reach(barely)
and bash the killer in the head so she can escape
d'oh!
Add to that the situation where people get rubber limbs and sticky or magnetic finger tips. Somehow they stretch and stretch and what was out of reach or would be pushed away by those extending fingers now not only comes within reach but moves towards the hand palm too. This goes for all people who are in a tight spot, whether they are choked, locked in at their legs, or the object (rings, keys, detonators, vials with antidote etc.) lies juuuuuuuuuuuuust oooouuuut oooooooooof reaaaaach.
Add to that that all objects have a sticky surface that keeps them for ever teetering on the edge of the chasm but never going over it despite violent shakes, explosions or violent wind rushes.

At the very beginning of every fight the villain kicks or slaps the hero's gun (or phaser!) away and it's hand to hand combat from that point forward. Someone else shows up and shoots the bad guy for him.
Yep.
I am really sick of the gunfight which ends with the villain trapped and defeated.........
until he spots a passerby (usually a woman) whom he grabs and uses as a shield.
"Drop your weapons or she dies". And, of course a squad of cops obey him and drop their weapons.
Lame

I guess Hollywood thinks such a realistic depiction would make the hero look cowardly. Yet their way makes him look like an idiot. Even John Wayne, millions of years ago, simply leaned out of the way of bullets... and somewhat leisurely too. Idiot! 
What! Rude about The Duke. How dare you!
Sharpshooters have been taking pot-shots at heroes...& missing, since the silent days. It's odd, but the hero gets himself into all kinds of scrapes, but you know he's going to be alright, so it shouldn't really work as drama, but it does. James Bond is a good example.
I don't really want a realistic depiction of death in movies, death's bad enough in real life. And in real life, no one is as tough as film stars. Take Die Hard 4, Bruce takes enough punishment to kill a dozen people, & then, & then! Shoots himself, so the bullet goes through his body & kills the baddie behind him, & he's still on his feet at the end joking with the medics.
