History CaptainObvious / Film

* Much of the dialogue in the Miramax version of ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' is this, mainly because it was half-heartedly thrown in for the sole purpose of LullDestruction. For example, we know Tack's in love with the princess because he makes her face out of thread in a very effective scene. Yet [[ExecutiveMeddling somebody]] decided he also needed to sing a horrible AwardBaitSong about it!

* Lampooned in Disney's ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'':

* In Disney's ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'':

* This exchange in ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'':

* At the end of Disney's ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' when the human girl "drops" her waterjug in front of Mowgli:

* In the Disney animated version of ''Disney/PeterPan'', when Wendy walks the plank, Pan rescues Wendy before she hits the water, so the pirates just see her fall out of their sight and then hear nothing. A crewman then informs everyone that they [[WheresTheKaboom just heard no splash]], which seems to annoy Captain Hook, as he then creates a splash by throwing said crewman overboard.

* ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' has a character [[ShoutOut named]] Duke [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Weaselton]] who has a habit of stating some pretty obvious statements.

** At the end of the movie, a collection of grails are found along with an immortal knight who explains that only one is the Holy Grail and that "for as the true Grail will bring you life, the false grail will take it from you". After drinking from one of the grails, Donovan rapidly ages, becoming a skeleton in the span of about thirty seconds. Just in case Indy and Elsa didn't get the idea, the knight says "he chose... poorly", demonstrating that TropesAreNotBad.

--->'''Data:''' ''(picking up a robotic arm)'' It appears to be a robotic arm.\\

--->'''Spock:''' ''(on intercom)'' Dr Puri, report.\\

** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' uses this to parody the TitleIn-trope, as the Guardians are introduced via an establishing shot of the cosmos, which is then labeled... well...
--->'''SPACE'''
*** Later in the film we get this little Gem:
*** Eitri: "You understand boy, you're about to take the full force of a star, it'll kill you.
*** Thor: "Only if I die."
*** Eitri: "Yes, that's what killing you means."

** Which is even more amusing when you consider he's actually the OnlySaneMan in town.

* Sarah in ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'': "I sense that I'm going down!", after being shot down by the enemy..

* Lieutenant Kaminsky in ''Film/ToraToraTora'', during the attack: "You wanted confirmation, Captain? Take a look! ''There's'' your confirmation!" {{Justified}} in that he's angry about how warnings of the impending attack were being treated as CassandraTruth, and he has a ''lot'' of frustration to vent.

'''Stryker:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh!? Really?!?]]

!!Films -- Animated

!!Films -- Live-Action

'''Razoul''' You idiots! We've ''all'' got swords!

* A classic line from ''Film/TheKarateKid'':
-->'''Daniel:''' Where did all these cars come from?\\
'''Mr. Miagi:''' Detroit.
** In fact, Miagi does this all the time, answering questions with simple and obvious answers when his student is expecting complicated ones. The whole point behind it is probably that the secret to success is not taking things too seriously.
* ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' "We were forced under the water of the ocean."
** Though that could be closer to RedundancyDepartmentOfRedundancy.

** After the other characters describe their plan to distract Sauron, Legolas summarizes, "A diversion!" just to put everything out in the open for the audience.

* [[SoBadItsGood Legendary]] ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' had gems such as these:

* In ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'', Data had his Captain Obvious moments too, as even the dead-serious ''TNG'' crew couldn't help but notice sometimes...

** Bonus points, because Stryker built the damn base, and has worked there longer than that Mook, probably all his current Mooks.

-->'''Nostalgia Critic!Damodar''': You ''painters'' always... Painting.

* Vicki Vale in ''Film/{{Batman}}''. "Bats", she points out, upon seeing the animals in the Batcave, "His parents were murdered in that alley. That's why he went there" while checking Bruce Wayne's newspaper files motivated by having seen him going to the alley, and then when she sees Joker's Smylex gas flowing out of a balloon, she comments "Smylex gas". In the first and third example, the referred items are in plain sight not only to her but to the audience as well. And right after that, she shouts: "He's gonna kill everybody!" - after ''everyone'' has already learned, and has known for at least a week, exactly what Smylex gas does.

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

* In most of his incarnations, Spock plays the Captain Obvious role. This is lampshaded in the 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'' film.

'''Bagheera:''' Naturally.

* In ''Film/IronMan1'', when the Iron Monger fires up its RocketBoots:
-->'''Jarvis:''' Sir, it appears that his suit can fly.\\
'''Tony:''' Duly noted.
** Jarvis' replacement Friday picks up the ball in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
--->''(after [[spoiler:Scarlet Witch drops half the cars in the parking garage on Tony during the airport fight]])''\\
'''Friday:''' Multiple contusions detected.\\
'''Tony:''' Yeah, I detected that too.

"Future events such as these will affect you in the future."

* In ''Film/ShakespeareInLove'', an exasperated lord unmasks one of Shakespeare's actors as a girl rather than a boy playing a girl: "That woman is...''a WOMAN''!"

* ''Franchise/StarWars''
** Ric Olié in ''Episode I: Film/ThePhantomMenace'' is notorious for lines like "Enemy fighters straight ahead!"
** The very first scene with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan has battle droids arrive and turn on their force fields. A second later, Obi-Wan says, "They have shield generators!"
** C-3PO demonstrates his usefulness:
--->''(ground shakes violently)''\\
'''C-3PO''': Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.\\
'''Han:''' "Not entirely stable"? Well, I'm glad you're here to tell us these things! Chewie, take ''the Professor'' into the back and [[UnusualEuphemism plug him into the hyperdrive]].
** Admiral Akbar's "It's a trap!"
** In ''StarWars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'', Obi-Wan after the would-be assassin of Padme is killed by what is very obviously a toxic dart: "A toxic dart!"

* Seemingly ''everyone'' from ''Film/TheRoom'' is this at one point or another.
-->'''Mike:''' Did you, uh, know that chocolate is the symbol of love?
* Narnia seems to have been created as a WorldOfSnark, and a few characters stand out:
-->'''Soldier (to Reepicheep the mouse):'''You... are a mouse!
** In [[Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe an earlier film]]:
*** Lucy: Weren't you wondering where I was?
*** Edmund: That's the point. That was why he was seeking you.

'''Yzma:''' [[HurricaneOfEuphemisms Just think of it as...you're being let go. That your life's going in a different direction. That your body is part of a permanent outplacement.]]\\

-->"Just watch it! Doug is the opposite of friendly; ...''he's unfriendly!''"

* ''Film/BlackDynamite'': "These children are orphans… and orphans don’t have parents."

--> And THIS is the LUMBERYARD.... Right?

-->'''Soldier (to Reepicheep the mouse):'''You...are a mouse!

--> ''Pepper:''' ''(Peter puts on a blindfold)'' Yeah, he will not be able to see with that.

** Bonus points, because Stryker build the damn base, and has worked there longer than that Mook, probably all his current Mooks.

* From ''Film/Clueless''' [[LovableAlphaBitch Cher]]: "Also, sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds guys of being naked, and then they think of sex!"

* ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' has a character named Duke Weaselton who has a habit of stating some pretty obvious statements.
