Major Plot hole: The cunning godly villain Loki sees fit to mind-control a scientist and random SHIELD agents to further his plan but doesn’t think it could also be a good idea to control the director of SHIELD Nick Fury himself – because controlling the leader of the organization you are trying to destroy is simply overrated. Screw you Fury ! I will let my mind-controlled Hawkeye, a man with perfect vision and accuracy shoot you in the chest instead of blowing your head off or at least checking if you're wearing body armor like military personnel do , or at least shooting you more than once, or at least looking if you're dead or at least not being a total tool.

Plot contrivance: Black Widow has the incredible power of having the least threatening body while using the least threatening guns in Marvel movies: Glocks. She is facing deadly aliens with laser guns BUT somehow never considers that maybe she should drop her stupid Glocks and take the alien arsenal after killing a few soldiers. Or for that matter, maybe she could have used

Minor Plot hole: A tiny girl who gets impaled by a spear as big as her legs will stay alive for the 5 long minutes that will be required to make the saddest scene in the movie. But a bigger kid who gets shot by an arrow to the chest will fall dead before he reaches the ground because screw him – we don't want to hear him suffer and suffocate on his own blood, that would ruin the sad scene a few feet away.

Major Plot hole: The leader of this dystopian future, Snow, is a senile man who has no idea what he is doing....unless it's taking care of a garden. When referencing the Hunger Games, he mentions that ''The only thing stronger than fear is hope''. Fair enough. But the Hunger Games does exactly none of this. You see – there is no hope in the games. Every year, 23 kids get killed while 1 survives to be dead inside. The games do not offer any hope apart from ''saving'' one of the sacrificed children. Kids get killed and humiliated in front of the whole world and the elite bets on who will...

Minor Plot Hole: Androids are important. They can convey information, fight in battles, etc. Two of our main characters are androids, and (if you account for prequels just a teensy bit) androids formed the rank and file military forces before the clone stormtroopers were developed. Vader himself is mostly cybernetic at this point. So why on God's green Alderaan did an Imperial idiot let an escape pod go because there were "no life signs" on it, and why did a second Imperial idiot find that order even the slightest bit reasonable?  That pod's escape leads to the Death Star's destruction, and one laser blast would have prevented it.

Major Plot Hole: Leia is an emotionless shell of a person. She is given no reaction scene or developed character trauma for any of the following events: (1) her home planet (not house, not family, not city; PLANET) is destroyed in an unprecedented display of power; (2) at some point she must realize the man who tortured her and destroyed her planet is her father

Minor Plot hole: Trinity sneaks up on an Agent right before he kills Neo on top of a building and proceeds to say:
Trinity: Dodge this !
Agent: Thank you Trinity. Having the power to dodge every bullet I know is coming towards me, your notification of an impending projectile to my head was appreciated although not necessary since you touched my head with the tip of your handgun before uttering your one-liner. If we followed the premise of my powers to the letter, I would easily ‘’Dodge this’’ without breaking a sweat, not only because I don’t and can’t sweat but precisely because I know what you are about to do and at the exact angle. But since you both have to survive this scene in order for the movie to continue, please allow me to do jackshit and eat your bullet in my cyber-brain. Adieu.

Major Plot hole: After the delicious sex scene between the lobster and Keanu Reeve’s bellybutton, Morpheus calls Neo, tells him the phone is tapped……..and tells...

Plot holes are contradictions in a screenplay. The elements that are contradicted can both be mentioned on paper or implied by the premise and universe of the screenplay.

There are 3 types of plot holes : minor plot holes, major plot holes, and super plot holes. They all refer to the same  basic concept  but  are separated by the reach their contradictions have on the overall story.

Movieplotholes simply tries to identify all of them in popular films. There are three other types of errors that can be found in screenplays and we encourage you to visit the definition page to see our in-depth approach to find them all.
