Movies are made to entertain us, to give us an escape for a couple of hours and get lost in another world. But what if you don't want the details? What if you want the movie stripped back to its bare bones, the entire plot summed up in just a couple of lines?

The wildly popular hashtag #explainafilmplotbadly is still going strong, giving us the essence of our favorite movies in bitesize captions, and highlighting how hilariously ridiculous some movie plots are from different perspectives and without context.

Yes, they are badly explained. And no, the producers of the movies probably do not appreciate the unflattering descriptions. But they are all very funny, and we just love them! Scroll down to check out the list, compiled by Bored Panda, for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your faves!

Well, we can drive 12 hours and not leave the same state, and it takes more than 30 hours to drive E-W to cover the country, and around 24 hours to go N-S. And if we do leave our country, there's a 50% chance where we're going speaks English, too! So it's not like driving 4 hours in Europe and passing through 3 different countries...

How small do you think Europe is to drive 4 hours and pass 3 countries? LoL. Your excuse is beyond reality. Try again.

The title / quote actually refers to the plot in the film, here they are trying to understand alien language ;)

What movie is this? It looks like stranger things, so it is probably good.

It's "Arrival". It is indeed a good movie, but, beside the suits, it has nothing in common with "Stranger Things". The movie is based on novel "Story of your life", written by Ted Chiang.

I always get annoyed, that given how famous he is (all his accomplishments etc) nobody recognises him on that bench...

Missed the point, since they both met in the woods and danced with each other :'D But yeah, total 'stranger'.

And Rey has an emotional breakdown. Finn challenges the chrome-dome. Finn’s girl is practically dead. Poe is a d**k. Leía should have died. Ackbar should have lived. Holdo is a turd. ——————so many things with this one
