Sound effects

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2005)

It is irritating to myself and anyone who knows small arms weapons that Hollywood consistently adds the sound of clicking or metal to metal contact as the actor/actress raises the weapon to aim and/or discharge it. Most of the weapons that this sound is associated with only make this sound when 'charged' or cocked. This action is accomplished long before raising the weapon for firing and most always cannot be executed as the weapon is raised and certainly not one handed.
In The Matrix it is evident almost every time a weapon is raised by Neo, Trinity or any other character.
Similarly Reloaded and Revolutions contain the same effect.
Yes, it is dramatic however unrealistic.
How gullible does Hollywood think we are ???
