Default Re: Cliched dialogue exchanges

I was watching Kingdom of Heaven this weekend, and overall I like the movie, more for the action and visuals than for the story and acting. Anyway, one thing that frequently occured in this movie, and many others kind of bugs me.

This is where a supporting character asks the hero a kind of obvious question like "When will they attack?" and the hero looks out into the night, ponders for a minute and answers "soon" or something equally silly. Seriously, if you can't develop the hero in other ways don't resort to this cheap crap.
