History CaptainObvious / FIlm

* ''Film/JurassicPark'':

'''Getafix:''' Yeah, I can see that.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': After Bob throws Mr. Huph, his boss, through several walls which puts him in the hospital:

* Seemingly ''everyone'' from ''Film/TheRoom'' is this at one point or another.

* Particularly hilariously stupid version of it happens in ''Film/UrbanJustice'', Eddie Griffin's character says, "Cause I ain't ever gonna snitch on me, nigga." Like, no crap, of course no drug dealer is gonna snitch on themselves.

* Sheriff Obvious in the 2010 remake of ''Film/TheCrazies'', after learning that an unidentified plane has crashed in their drinking water, townsfolk have started acting insane and murderous, and that they have no phone connections or internet access, has this brilliant gem to say:
--> '''David:''' We're in trouble.

In ''Film/EighthGrade'' when Kayla's crush, Aiden, comes into the room shirtless at the pool party to unplug his cell phone, [[CannotTalkToWomen all Kayla can say is]] that she also charges her phone because "Sometimes my phone runs out of batteries, too!"

In ''Film/EighthGrade'' when Kayla's crush, Aiden, comes into the room shirtless at the pool party to unplug his cell phone, [[CannotTalkToGirls all Kayla can say is]] that she also charges her phone because "Sometimes my phone runs out of batteries, too!"

* ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'': A RunningGag has Sarah's "empath" abilities amount to stating the obvious. At one point, her plane is shot down, and she shouts, "I sense that I'm going down!" This, of course, is not counting the times she's completely wrong- she "senses" that Gary's inside the Egyptian tavern that he infiltrated to investigate the terrorists there, but by this point, he's already left.

** ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'': Admiral Ackbar's "It's a trap!"

* ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'': A RunningGag has Sarah's "empath" abilities amount to stating the obvious. At one point, her plane is shot down, and she shouts, "I sense that I'm going down!"

* ''Film/XMen1'' has Storm's much maligned observation: "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's hit by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." This was supposed to be the payoff to a RunningGag where Toad constantly brags about things a toad can do. For some reason, it was left in as an OrphanedPunchline.

--->'''Frank:''' I told Jane to meet us at the hotel's rear entrance.\\
'''Ed:''' Where's that, Frank?
'''Frank:''' In the back.

* From the sequel to the first film.
'''Frank:''' I told Jane to meet us at the hotel's rear entrance.

* ''Film/TheTenCommandments'' is absolutely ''loaded'' with this, to the point that it often seems like they're reading the scene descriptions as well as the dialogue.

* An [[InvertedTrope inversion]] in ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Cars 2]]'', when [=McQueen=] warns Mater that he's not at home and implies to him that Mater should behave appropriately. Mater responds that it is quite obvious he's not at home and thinks [=McQueen=] is acting as CaptainObvious.

* Obelix has a moment in ''Film/AsterixAndObelixTakeOnCeaser'' as the heroes search for Getafix's grandfather in the film's climax.

* From ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'': Ray asks Peter where a flight of stairs goes, since Peter's been there before. Never one to admit ignorance, he simply states, "They go up."

* Creator/RolandEmmerich's version of ''Film/{{Godzilla 1998}}'' features a scene where the titular monster is lured to an ambush with truckloads of fish to eat. Matthew Broderick gives us the bizarre statement: "That's a lot of fish".

* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'': "Always like you thieves. Always taking things that don't belong to you."
