“Somehow palpatine returned”, this one piece of dialog changed how i view Star wars
“Do you know what happens to a toad when it’s hit by lightning?”
Twilight is cheesy from beginning to end, but the scene with them playing baseball had me dying laughing.
Fake baby scene in American Sniper
The ending of War of the Worlds. There is NO WAY the son survives
In the Irishman when CGI face De Niro is fighting that guy.
Palpatine in Rise of Skywalkee
The scene where Luke burns all the Jedi books. I’m all for abandoning the Jedi way or rules, but you just burnt the library of Alexandria.
Edit: I thought it was Yoda originally but I asked google to verify and it said it was Luke. I’m not watching that garbage again just for this. Could have meant Luke did it at some point in the EU. Doesn’t really matter which of them did it.
Barrel escape scene in the The Hobbit – Desolation of Smaug.
I’m generally a Godfather III apologist but, despite how cool it may have seemed, a helicopter flying over a Manhattan hotel conference room and spraying it with automatic gunfire, wiping out the majority of Mafia leadership, would simply never happen. The Mafia prefers to keep things quiet – even brash Joey Zasa would know that it would make headlines and cause problems for him.
Also, it was just so…not like something you’d see in a Godfather movie. I can deal with Sofia Coppola’s acting, I can deal with writing Tom Hagen out over a contract dispute, I can deal with the bullshit Vatican plot. But the helicopter hit was too much for me.
Martha, why did you say that name!
Princess Leia flying through space
Shia Lebouf swinging with the monkeys in kingdom of the crystal skull
I loved the Ready Player One book, and I was relatively against the movie for the first part because of how much they changed it
But what really bugged me was when Wade meets Artemis and she says “welcome to the resistance.” What the hell is that?
Zack Snyder is delusional.
The entire movie was bad, but when Indiana Jones survived a nuke in a fridge.
I would say when he is reunited with Murph at the end of Interstellar. It’s as if everyone couldn’t give less of a shit about his story or life or saving them all. Not even her family seemed interested. Fucked me off for him
When Harry breaks the elder wand, I wanted to scream
The all female team up/strut moment in Avengers End Game. My eyeballs just rolled completely out of my head.
“Somehow Palpatine returned”.
I won’t say ruined because I still really enjoyed this movie, but the scene in Alien Romulus where the android, Andy, says, “Get away from her…..you bitch.” The movie was filled to the brim with subtle homages that made almost every fan smile. It’s almost felt like a love letter to the Alien franchise. But, that part, was just too on the nose. It felt almost like a Marvel comedic scene with the long pause. If he had just said “Get away from her,” that would have been fine, and been more than enough to signal to fans what it was referencing.
Alright, I’m probably overthinking this too much, I think I need another beer!
Lex Luther casting was horrible, that’s what “ruined” this movie for me.
Edit: Lex Luther wasn’t even in man of steel, didn’t show up until Batman v Superman lol
But Man of Steel gets too much hate IMO. It might not have been a perfect movie but it’s certainly not a bad movie either.
Cavill was one of the best Superman portrayals we’ve had and Costner didn’t do a bad job as Kent either. Michael Shannon played a great Zod as well.
Snyder definitely fucked up with Batman v Superman and Justice League though. I really wish we could’ve just got another stand alone Superman movie.
Whenever Neo uses his “powers” *outside* the Matrix, I find it silly. That happening was never explained to my satisfaction.
Star Wars 9: “I’m Rey. Rey Skywalker.” I mean it was ruined from the opening scrawl but f*** off.
“Love is the only thing that trascends space and time” from Interstellar
Thanks for not naming yours. JFC this sub has a problem.
Yup. This one in the pic.
Air Force one, Harrison Ford (aka POTUS) had to open a wiring box and was getting instruction over a cell phone on what wires to cut and the phone cut off or died and he had to chose from Grey, Orange, Red, White, Blue and he’s thinking and thinking and then says “Well, here’s to red, white and blue” and cut the other wires and there was such a groan throughout the theatre
When Vader says, “Noooooooooooooo!” TBH the trilogy was ruined long before that final moment.
I loved reading Enders Game. Somehow every scene in the movie let me down.
The son coming back in War of the Worlds.
Martha
Maze Runner. Where the kids are hiding from killer monsters in the middle of a field – at night – with a lit torch
The first time I saw a Titanic I was locked in. And then I noticed the now famous flipped repeated star pattern. Totally took me out of it.
Didn’t even need super speed to save him. Anything just under Olympic speed saves his dad. No one would question that.
Just terrible.
Cgi baby in twilight. Look it’s not a perfect franchise, and I laugh throughout the whole series…but this is so comically bad it’s not even bad in a good way. It’s just bad
I liked this scene, on paper. I didn’t like him being softly enveloped by the storm.
I remember when the Matrix Reloaded came out. I was a bit too young to go to the cinema to watch it but me and some buddies rented it a few months later.
When Trinity died, I, a literal ten-year-old said, “well, what is gonna do? Physically restart her heart?” And then he did just that.
As much as I’m loath to admit it, when Christopher Walken showed up in the movie Dune, it took me out of it a bit. I kept expecting him to demand more cowbell from the Sardurkar. I love both these movies a lot, but Christopher Walken only really plays Christopher Walken
The runway scene in one of the fast & furious movies bothered me. From what I recall, Antonov or whatever was taking off but got harpooned by a civic or whatever and couldn’t lift. They showed the pilots go through a jerking motion. This is the biggest cargo plane in the world. Can carry tanks etc.
The King’s Man was already a pretty boring movie but the post credits scene was…rough to say the least. No wonder they gave up on it. Ruined a good franchise
“The Glass Onion” used the cheap cliché of a book in your pocket stopping a bullet.
