The Departed where they talk to the Chinese guy. His Cantonese was horrendous. Totally took me outta the movie.

 

[Stoze]

You've gone too far.

Sorry guys. I still really like Se7en and Fincher. Hell, I even like Pitt in nearly everything from Fight Club and onwards.

 

[Martian]

Really? I thought it was kind of well fitting.
Him crossing streets with the people he hates, on their territory.

 

[wizard]

yea, it was god awful delivery. I wasn't impressed with the rest of the movie anyways, but that stood out like a sore thumb.

Its funny everyone I talked to wanted moar Kevin Costner, I agree though delivery wasn't spectacular. I think the Dragonball Z fight scenes ruined it for me.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Oh yeah, the CGI cows in 13 Assassins are the only blemish on an otherwise amazing movie.

 

[Wazzy]

This scene was so bad that I actually sat in shock when it happened. My whole group of friends sat in silence for a couple minutes from the second-hand embarrassment.

 

[Grinchy]

I really enjoyed watchmen(directors cut) and that love scene felt so out of place and went on way too long. Other then that I enjoyed it.

I also didn't like the very short scene at the beginning, when Laurie goes to see Dan. That song that suddenly and loudly and lamely plays when the two see each other just didn't fit at all.

Yep. The whole movie was awful, but this scene was the worst thing I remember from it. I actually felt embarrassed to be watching it. Here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it:

[maomaoIYP]

were so bad as to be laughable. It's not what I was really looking for from this film.

The movie got ruined for me before this scene. They have scientists on board and the first thing they do when they land on a planet that has oxygen is to take off their fucking masks. The alien bacteria alone could have killed everyone.
Also, they have a funky 3D map interface shit back on the ship and these dudes can get lost trying to get out.

i think pretty much any scene after when they woke up was god awful. I would've watched a whole movie of Fassbender eating cereal alone on the ship instead.

the hobbit is a childrens book

I feel like Jackson had trouble balancing the tone of the movie.

 

[Damaged]

I feel like Jackson had trouble balancing the tone of the movie.

Agreed, the balance between the original dialogue and new was jarring, and a rabbit drawn sleigh? Seriously? Fucking rabbits? It's like they made two films, one for kids and one for adults then just threw it together at random.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

The scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where Joel turns to a baby. Fucking annoyed me.

 

[Zee-Row]

Vader's "Noooooooo" yell in episode 3. The movie was decent otherwise.

 

[jtb]

The scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where Joel turns to a baby. Fucking annoyed me.

Agreed. Well, not quite ruined, but it feels out of place in the movie (and is a retread from an incredibly similar scene in Being John Malkovich).

 

[Escape Goat]

first post has me all riled up again. I can't think of any other movie but Prometheus. What a waste.

 

[freddy]

I thought the Dark Knight was decent, for the type of film it was, but the ending really was dialled in and stupid to the point of being funny.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Man of steel

That

Spoiler

tornado scene

especially

 

[LiK]

Vader's "Noooooooo" yell in episode 3. The movie was decent otherwise.

that too. Lucas couldn't help but ruin it right before the end.

 

[Ra\/en]

Yeah, this scene really did take me by surprise. I was watching the movie alone on some boring weeknight, and I still felt embarrassment.

 

[Videoneon]

-Avatar: I'll second "unobtainium." Oh god.

-Pay it Forward:

Spoiler

The scene where Haley Joel Osment dies. The way it was filmed was so fucking annoying, your vantage point is from the sky and you move further and further away from him, while the camera spins. No subtlety, just extreme heavy-handed-ness.

-Unbreakable:

Spoiler

So Bruce Willis may or may not be a superhero, but the whole point is Samuel L. Jackson was trying to find a physically strong person that could serve as his foil on a literary level? I hate the ending because it aborts all of the drama of Bruce Willis' character.

 

[timmaysmittay]

I feel like Jackson had trouble balancing the tone of the movie.

This so much.

I thought the songs were in good taste since the book focused on that aspect a good bit but when

Spoiler

Gandalf slashes the Goblin King

and he just sits there and says "that'll do it" I fucking groaned.

 

[jph139]

The ending to Captain America.

Spoiler

Steve Rogers awakes 70 years in the future. The world he's known is gone, the women he loved worlds away. You can almost feel the crushing realization that everything he's ever known has changed...

BA DA DA DUM BOMBASTIC PATRIOTIC MUSIC!!!

Completely botched. Just a minute more to let the scene rest and it would have been perfect, but that ending just sits with me as a huge letdown in an otherwise awesome flick.

 

[Salsa]

I feel like Jackson had trouble balancing the tone of the movie.

no arguments there

scene itself is fine

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Prometheus feels like several of these strung together. Feels bad, man. Was so psyched for that one.

 

[Oersted]

The one where they walk at a 90 degree angle?

edit: also, I strongly dislike the unicorn scene. Partly, because I strongly disagree with Ridley's preferred idea about Deckard (he should be human) but mostly because scenes like that try to steal everything that makes the movie interesting. The ambiguity and trying to piece together what is up is interesting. Being told "and this is how it is" is not.

Yep. The wideshots of Legolas climbing on those elephant-thingies looked better.

 

[televator]

World War Z:

Spoiler

There is a zombie that is 99.9% burnt to ash. The only remnant of the corpse that remains in tact are 2 fingers... that still move.

I literally said "Nahhhh, c'mon!" while in the theater during that bit.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I really enjoyed watchmen(directors cut) and that love scene felt so out of place and went on way too long. Other then that I enjoyed it.

At least the audience got a good look at that hot superhero.
This scenario in Matrix Reloaded was much worse. Bleh, Trinity.

 

[ISOM]

The horse scene at the end of django. I thought it was stupid and unnecessary.

 

[televator]

Prometheus feels like several of these strung together. Feels bad, man. Was so psyched for that one.

I still reflect awkwardly on this movie. I think it's the most well made bad movie I ever saw.

 

[Link1110]

Anything involving Sonar in The Dark Knight. Very shoehorned. I know it was about the bush administration, but it just wasn't natural for me in a great movie.

 

[Discotheque]

alice in wonderland was such a shitty movie. i got high for that film and that dance scene (the best scene in the film) was the only time i laughed. it came out of nowhere (literally starts like seconds after a battle is over) and was so blatantly thrown in to get the kids to enjoy.

 

[Ventilaator]

500 Days of Summer.

Remove the last 20 seconds or so and that movie is great. As it is now, I kind of hate it.

 

[JB1981]

What kind of fucking delivery was that?

Wat

 

[strafer]

This scene

 

[JB1981]

Also Unobtanium is actually a thing. The word wasn't made up for the movie.

 

[SJRB]

edit - on second thought this is a bad post - I assume this tread is about GOOD movies getting ruined by one bad scene, which for me at least doesn't really apply to TDKR.

 

[voodoopanda]

Unobtainium is a weird example of when using a real word makes it more unbelievable than if they had made up some cooler sounding fake word. Wiki article

 

[MattKeil]

That crappy special effect in Inception. You know which one.

Didn't they literally rotate the set for them to do the 90 degree up-walk? It looks weird but that's because your brain knows it's impossible.

 

[The Bookerman]

This scene

oh THAT ONE! Seriously Spielberg? Fuckin gymnastics with two bars conveniently placed? Also that kid was worst than those two kids in the first movie. I hate the lost world simply because of THAT scene. Hell I knew when I was young that this scene was bullshit.

 

[tha_devil]

The first thing that came to mind, was dark knight rises wallstreet fight, where the cops go barehanded against villains with machine guns, but somehow they dont get all shot.

 

[TheWriter]

Sinister. The first quarter of the movie was enjoyable and the tapes created a dreadful atmosphere ... then jump scares happened, again and again and again. Each one of these scenes ruined a previously good movie.

 

[Oersted]

Dark Knight Rises probably had the worst movie police ever. An army of Zombies would have acted more clever.

 

[The Bookerman]

That bullshit character Disney/Marvel had to introduce so kids could relate to...


WHY?!

 

[Salsa]

That movie has too much dumb scenes, but that fight was just crazy stupid.

 

[Log4Girlz]

That one scene in nearly every single fucking alien invasion movie where the aliens decide to go full retard and send their ships into the atmosphere BECAUSE REASONS and somehow get defeated when they can easily vaporize any nation on earth from URANUS

 

[Captain_Spanky]

"Unobtanium"

As soon as they said that, the suspension of disbelief was shattered.

I *think* it's a real theoretical concept.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium

 

[TCRS]

all the slapstick parts in The Hobbit. A joke here and there, yes. But not like that PJ, not like that.

Also The Nazgul attack Minas Tirith during the fight at the end.

[Won]

Everytime I hear Unobtainium I have to think of that "The Core" movie and that's never a good thing.

 

[Femmeworth]

The scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where Joel turns to a baby. Fucking annoyed me.

Really? Never had a problem with that scene. Some of the scenes with the technicians do bother me somewhat.
