Yeah. Kinda lessens the impact of the previous two hours or so.

LOL, she was trying to save face. Like someone who trips, stumbles and then transitions into a smooth combat roll.
Everyone was awful in every RE movie.My vote goes to the sex scene between the nite owl and silk spectre in watchmen lol
Maybe he was better in Prison Break but he was pretty awful as Chris Redfield. Then again it was a RE movie.
For Starkiller they couldddd just use the actor he was modeled after.

Unobtabium isn't that weird. Scientists dealing with naming things often give them ridiculous or funny names.
I love this part!
This whole segment was terrible. The first thing that stuck out to me was that they took the leather BDSM look way too far with everyone in the club, fighters included. Then, of course, once they get to the Merovingian he starts spouting off some bullshit which (along with the fight) gets made absolutely worthless and a complete waste of time seconds later because Trinity just says "SHUT UP GIVE ME WHAT I WANT" and the Merovingian is all "...okay." It jut negates everything leading up to that moment. The only reason that club exists is because the Wachowskis wanted to cram in another fight and more gimp clothing. It's worse than when they shoehorn in Neo fighting Seraph with the flimsy justification "You never know someone until you fight them." Which is fucking stupid.
I fucking LOVE The Matrix Trilogy, and it will forever be my favorite, but I would agree with most that Revolutions was probably the weakest of the 3. This scene in particular could have been WAY better, as well as the fight scene before it.

Yup that was a ham fisted stand up and cheer moment that fell flat.

Was totally going to post this. One of the stupidest hokey things I've ever seen.
Star Wars Episode 3: "FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL"
OH IRON MAN 3, when Stark is stuck under rubble underwater and is going to die for sure, when Jarvis shoots the hand with rockets off, comes back and grabs his other arm and pulls him out to safety. WHAT A FUCKING CHEAT. So basically he's invincible because the suit can do anything now. Fuck that movie. The kid was cool.
And he doesn't have a working suit for 95% of the movie until the very end when there's a million suits that are apparently expendable at a moments notice because we barely get to spend any time with them until he blows them all up
Dude you have to understand. You have your badasses. And then you have your singing epic badasses.

Not quite. The scene is crucial because Merovingian is essentially explaining to the audience that the Oracle's eyes are special and many people would want them and that the audience understands they must not fall into the "wrong" hands.
Then Trin does her thing which makes Merv's threats pointless as you say, but when Smith later on copies himself to the Oracle the audience is like "oooh, I get it, that's what Merv was talking about, Smith got the Oracle's eyes!"
Basically instead of having Smith say "I came for your eyes Oracle! Let me provide some awkward exposition, though you know exactly why I am here but the audience does not, you see.." they have another character do that, more elegantly.
Count of Monte Sawed-Off

Yep. One of my favorite movies of all time, but this scene still bothers the hell out of me.

It's like she turned into Orlando Bloom for a split second.

Oh god yeah. This was so awful. The movie had its own share of problems before this scene, but this made everything so much worse.

Brothers Bloom
Diamond Dog's scene where they imply one of the brothers was molested.

I wonder if we'll ever see this cut
no chance. would love to see this version: 3 hours, almost no male characters (sean bean is only in it for 5 minutes) and more crazy stuff from the games. ah well...

That's not what he has said though..

Christophe Gans said:
From what he says I get the feeling that while he might have made a longer cut initially, in the end he also prefers the shorter cut.
I mean Peter Jackson is happy to assemble longer versions of his LotR movies but he has gone on record saying the ones that are his "director's cut"s are actually the theatrical versions.
Should have called it Eludium, doesn't sound as laughably fake as Unobtainium.

Nope on both counts.
They are both organic and feel natural. Unlike the Crane scene in ASM
The part in The Amazing Spider Man when (as Peter) there's a Footloose moment.
The skateboarders twist on the warehouse dance scene with sappy Coldplay music.
Spiderman Scene
Footloose Scene
I absolutely hate this part of the movie, it nearly ruins it, and the horrific crane scene. Really didn't like the movie as a whole my first time watching, wasn't until I watched it again that I realized it was pretty decent. Still prefer the 2002 Spiderman though.

Hm. Nope. Not at all. Especially the bridge scene in the first film. It screamed of post-9/11 New York self-congratulation then, and it does now.

There's one scene in Batman Begins that almost ruined the movie for me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Y9EceIZykHE#t=235s
I'm referring to the "stealth" moment during the Tumbler chase scene of course. Despite being surrounded by several cop cars and even being tracked by a helicopter (!!), the Tumbler manages to become entirely invisible and evade detection simply by.... turning off its lights?
The worst part is that it didn't even help anything; they just cruise for a few seconds in "invisible mode", and then somehow get noticed again and the chase resumes exactly like it was before (minus the helicopter, which somehow lost interest and disappeared completely from the scene after the Tumbler's magical disappearing act).
I still like Batman Begins (I think it's easily the best Nolan Batman film), but it's impossible to not cringe at that scene every time I watch it.

Eh. I think he pulled off the "darth vader" skywalker well, but I'd imagine Wentworth Miller would have portrayed him better. I think he can pull off Anakin's witty and sharp personality and also capture that dark undertone that essentially got Hayden the role (not that I dislike Hayden though).
I'd cast him for Starkiller at the very least.
I like the Pirates movies and universe, but this entire film just felt out of place. I remember 1, 2, and 4 quite well, but 3 just didn't do it for me. Other than, it was uninteresting and all over the place.a copious amount of Jack Sparrows
Miller is the worst actor that ever starred in a hit tv-show. There is a reason we dont see him in anything else. Because all he can do is talk silently and do the same facial expression like in that photo. He is the ultimate male model. Only got casted because of his looks and the ladies love him.

Should have called it Reallyhardtogettium to go with the cardboard cuttout baddies and plot accessible to 8 yr old kids
Yeah i was trying to remember thus scene. Good movie, till that dance ruined the entire movie.
It probably wasn't 30 minutes, but that scene of him spinning in circles while showing how useless Cpt America is nearly ruined the movie for me.

I have no intention of ever watching this movie but I'm curious as to what happens in this scene.

Worked for me.
You're about to get some hateful internet explanation that makes it sound bad when it's actually not, because it's impossible for some to suspend their disbelief a hair while watching a comic book movie.

That bullshit character Disney/Marvel had to introduce so kids could relate to...
WHY?!
What? Are you kidding? Every scene with him is like a parody of "hero bonds with kid" scenes.

The kid in Iron Man 3 was great. I usually hate kids in movies but I liked him and his chemistry with Tony was solid. They had some nice banter together.
And yes, Iron Man 3 is a kid's movie, it's a movie based off a comic that young people enjoy. Then again apparently it's blasphemy to include things in a comic book movie that kids might relate to.
Not to mention it wasn't 100% kid friendly either, as I seem to remember Downey telling the kid to stop being a pussy.
This. So much this. Dredd is a fucking over-rated garbage.excessive use of slo mo in dredd

I'm not sure if the scene plucked from the movie is as bad as it is if you watch the whole thing, but this should give you an idea of how stupid it is.

Agreed. The movie sucked, but that scene was a step above in awfulness.

I don't know, sometimes it does, an ending can make or break a movie.
Must...contain...rage...gahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways, for me it was District 9, when they're fighting their way into the camp. Never before have I had such a strong desire to walk out on a movie. Such a great first third, middling second, and incredibly boring final act.

the idea of the scene isn't so bad, but Edward Norton doing reverse dunks like is Vince Carter is goofy as fuck.
