And let's not forget the obligatory scenes where you have the protagonist(s) beating up and killing hundreds of generic robot/alien/monster goons. Because you can't have graphic mass murder in a PG13 movie. Hell, the Putty Patrollers had more character than these guys.

Every scene becomes a zergling rush vs 5 units with cheat mode turn on. There's an actual line in the last movie along the lines of "You go, there's only a 100 goblins, we can easily take them."
