I was wondering if you would like to
have sex sometimes love isn’t all you
need with you mm-hmm
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movies that did not need a love story
we work together for this list we’re
taking a look at movies with romantic
subplots that added little to the
narrative and really could have been
edited out altogether why don’t you call
me back I don’t have anything else to
say
number 10 interstellar okay
to some extent interstellar didn’t give
us the conventional love story we
expected the audience keeps waiting for
an attraction to blossom between Matthew
McConaughey’s Cooper and Anne Hathaway’s
Amelia but the to keep things strictly
professional yes you are yes you are yet
we still get attacked on romance between
Jessica Chastain Smurfs and Topher Grace
is getti
what are they hoping to find
no offense to grace but it feels like
his character was thrown in just so his
girlfriend could have somebody to kiss
in the final hour since their romance is
already underdeveloped why not just
remove it entirely it’s worthless
interstellar is more about the bonds
that unite family and all of space and
time anyway we think that’s enough don’t
some people have a right to know number
9
premium rush sexy UI when you talk like
that this flick has plenty of high-speed
thrills but it occasionally hits the
brakes to make room for a token love
story no they are having their clothes
on Joseph gordon-levitt’s Wiley and
Daniel Ramirez is Vanessa playfellow
bike messengers and a subpar couple Izu
fraid you got a good kill yeah but if it
comes that’s just gonna come out of
nowhere if you think about it there was
no reason to make these two a couple
especially since they never display much
chemistry even even love yeah but you
know as the Daoists that believed in
luck the Buddha rejected all that we
insisted on cause and effects they could
have just been friends or colleagues and
it wouldn’t have altered the plot at all
proving again that just because a movie
can have a romance doesn’t mean it needs
to number eight demolition man you are
in the center what used to be Los
Angeles
after being cryogenically frozen
Sergeant John Spartan awakens to a
future where physical intimacy is
considered taboo and just relax
I’ll begin in a few seconds be good
would having sex of course although
people can still get freaky through
virtual reality this doesn’t satisfy
Spartan he tries to lay one on
lieutenant Lenina Huxley who views his
sexual urges as savage behavior what are
you doing
breaking the law you are a savage
creature John Spartan the satirical
approach to Spartan and Huxley’s
relationship makes them a somewhat
unique duo if anything they feel more
like partners than lovers this would
create a monster we’re developing
programs the film doesn’t even really
play up the romantic angle too much in
the end however demolition man succumbs
to the trope that a man needs to save
the day and get the girl must be a team
we are
number seven Godzilla it’s not Panda the
world
this recent reboot was advertised as a
showdown between Godzilla and Heisenberg
himself bryan cranston but the main
dynamic ends up being between aaron
taylor-johnson sport and his wife
Elizabeth Olsen’s L yeah I missed you
laughs I rescue while the film still
delivers in the action Department
matters dragged a little whenever the
plot cuts back to our separated lovers
ultimately the soldier and loving wife
storyline feels contrived here and more
like a throw-in especially considering
we really just want to see the king of
monsters fight other Kai’s you and
destroy a few cities the human
characters are mostly inconsequential as
is the romance factor now you’re only
gonna be gone for a few days and then
you are gonna come back to me number 6
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
where your jewels to bed princess yeah
and nothing else
shocking nobody likely would have
complained if Willie Scott had been cut
from Temple of Doom while Kate Capshaw
does what she can in the role she’s
simply given an obnoxious character to
work with what I got
where’s my gosh I hurt my finger that I
cracked an L considering Willie’s whiny
nature
we can’t fathom why India’s attracted to
this damsel in distress or why he
constantly saves her are you crazy I’m
not leaving here without the stones by
the time the credits roll you’d think
that India would want to distance
himself from her as much as possible
instead he inexplicably pulls her in for
a kiss
interestingly the real love story here
took place off screen during the film’s
production Capshaw met her future
husband Steven Spielberg aren’t you
going to introduce us
number 5 Star Trek
although Captain Kirk and Ahura shared
an iconic kiss in the original Star Trek
series boo Korra was initially supposed
to lock lips with everyone’s favorite
Vulcan perhaps this is why mr. Spock and
Uhura were paired together in JJ Abrams
2009 reboot of the franchise everyone to
continue performing under this decision
ultimately ended up being pointless
however since the filmmakers did so
little with their relationship Spock and
do hores romance is given minimal
development and we never come to
understand why they’re together
the 2013 follow-up didn’t add much to
the romance either whether you’re a
trekker or a casual Star Trek fan it’s
safe to say they’re nobody’s favorite
pairing
you better be number four transporter 2
I don’t usually do this sort of a job I
thought you were a professional driver
in the second entry of this Jason
Statham action franchise our hero is
forced to babysit and later rescue a
young boy from some seriously kitted out
kidnappers this precious child has an
attractive mother named Audrey Billings
who is of course going through marital
troubles with her workaholic husband
thank you Frank for the time
respect
I think it’s what I needed the most
since Frank Martin has been more of a
father figure to Jack Audrey throws
herself at him the transporter decides
not to mix business with pleasure though
are you doing what does it look like I’m
doing since their romance goes nowhere
fast there was no reason to turn Audrey
into a potential love interest besides
Frank will never be able to love a woman
more than he loves his cars number three
Jurassic world just like taking a stroll
through the woods 65 million years ago
much like Godzilla people line up for a
Jurassic Park movie just so they can see
big bloodthirsty dinosaurs do their
thing
whether you like the human characters in
Jurassic world or not we can all agree
that Owen and Claire’s romance was the
least interesting aspect of the film I
don’t control the Raptors it’s a
relationship it’s based on mutual
respect that’s why you and I never had a
second date
use me I never wanted a second Prince
out an itinerary for a night out we
don’t learn much about their
relationship other than that they
previously had one bad date then out of
the blue these two polar opposites just
start making out in the middle of a
pterodactyl attack and honestly who
cares about love when the indominus rex
and t-rex are fighting each other
number two Avengers age of Ultron to
realize you’re waiting I want to join
you but uh didn’t seem like the right
time since there are numerous entries in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe the
filmmakers have plenty of time to flesh
out all the characters so why does the
love story between natasha romanoff and
Bruce Banner come out of absolutely
nowhere with you these two barely
interacted in the past and now they’re
getting all mushy mind we’re gonna be
honest
Black Widow arguably had more chemistry
with Captain America in the Winter
Soldier while the Hulk had more
chemistry with Iron Man in the initial
Avengers movie it’s a terrible privilege
but you can control it it’s possible
future films in the franchise will
better develop this relationship here
however their romance was about as
necessary as Thor’s cave story subplot
yes yes of course
the trees should be honored with revels
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions what’s that too
bad it’s a gift from mr. cutting well
I’m not giving up on you
men are so bad at this
some other dumb
number one the hobbit the desolation of
smaug
I still even though JRR Tolkien’s
original children’s book was only about
300 pages long Peter Jackson felt it
necessary to stretch the material out to
three movies
II know God I’m gonna tell game Thalia
who Daniel de paola been Oh Gus because
of this The Hobbit trilogy introduced
several new sub plots and characters
including a badass elf named Terry L who
gets her very own underdeveloped romance
with the dwarf Kili I always thought it
is a cold light Mount Phou it is memory
precious and pure
like you’ll promise the beginning of
their relationship was all the red flag
we needed Keely just makes a tasteless
joke about searching his trousers and
suddenly teri Elle’s smitten with him
are you going to search me how could
have anything down my trousers oh
nothing the relationship lacks depth and
meaning and adds nothing to the main
plot which makes it hard for the
audience to get invested when the love
story ends in tragedy
as a promise do you agree with our list
what movie do you think had the most
unnecessary love story what do you say
we just do it the old-fashioned way
Oh disgusting for more entertaining top
