History DethroningMoment / LiveActionFilms

* Tropers/{{GREGOLE}}: While ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem'' was already an unsatisfying film, the moment that really sold it for me was the bit where the predalien infects an entire room full of pregnant women. While the little kid being chestbursted earlier was cringe-inducing, it was one death out of countless. We're shown that both monsters are ruthless and inhuman, and will not make distinctions between their victims... The filmmakers apparently felt that we forgot about this, so they decided to go even more over the top, to the point where the shock is gone, and it becomes a sick snuff fantasy for the writers. It was the single most tasteless thing I have ever seen in a movie since the Toxic Avenger disemboweled a man dressed as a baby who was trying to blow up a school for the retarded on Take A Mexican To Lunch Day.

* JEFFWONTLEAVE: Coming from a person who considers the first [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy two Spider-Man films]] as extremely important to comic book movies and are a wonderful {{homage}} to the original run in the 60s and 70s, I can not understand why anybody would defend ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' or be shocked that Sony decided to reboot the character. While the [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan first film]] was a flawed and predictable film, it at the very least gave me some great versions of Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy and a story arc about Peter's parents that would build up in future installments. Not only does the sequel [[Main/TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot fail to do anything cool with that arc]], not only does it [[Main/TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter ruin those versions I loved in the first]] and made them almost complete idiots, not only did it not fail to give me the most laughably awful villains since ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', but it also flat-out stops the movie with no reason whatsoever to poorly hint at potential film sequels and spin-offs. Take for example a scene that happens 38 minutes in, where Harry just drops a conversation where he acts like a smug little brat to the suits at Oscorp[[note]] Which makes me not care that Oscorp stabs him in the back later[[/note]] to just say randomly chat to a girl named Felicia who just happens to be his father's assistant[[note]] How the hell does he know this information by the way?[[/note]] and that everybody now must work for her because she works for him. There are two reasons this scene doesn't work at all.
** 1: As a person who has read a good chunk of Spider-Man comics, I know that the most common Felicia in those books is Felicia Hardy a.k.a. [[Comicbook/BlackCat The Black Cat]]. So it's pretty obvious to me that this is Sony's way of saying [[Main/LampshadeHanging "Hey guys we got Felicia in the movie and she may or may not be Black Cat one day, who knows!?"]] And yeah it's cool that she's here and all, but I would rather see Felicia actually be like her comic book counterpart in some way instead of just being a random shout-out in the middle of a scene. If anything I'm annoyed that you're wasting a beloved side-character like this.
** 2: Let's say you don't have much knowledge in Spider-Man lore and you were just a fan through the movies and TV shows. Now try watching the movie and this scene in the particular. [[Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment What the hell does this have anything to do with the story at all?]] She barely shows up at all for the rest of the movie, nobody actually worked for her or anything, she wasn't even a love interest for Harry. The movie stopped for about a minute for a character that is literally nothing. And that's all this film is, just a bunch of random scenes that pretend to be something important but in the end were just nothing.
* Troper/{{baconhead}}: I love David Zucker movies (except for this movie), I tolerated ''Film/AnAmericanCarol'' up to a certain point, and that is the court room, and what the movie tell us? That we need guns to kill ACLU lawyers! I'm not even joking about that last one, they flat out say we need guns to kill people who disagree with us on politics, what the... I'm not even a pro-gun guy, and I could have made a better pro-gun argument; that's not funny, that's just Fascist.

* Tropers/{{Valkir}}: That fucking stupid "Chaos Reigns" fox in ''Film/{{Antichrist}}''. The movie was slow, dull, and by-the-numbers "humans suck and our director is depressed" nonsense up to then, which was not awful, but that completely ridiculous and jarringly awful moment of Narm fully established that it was all a bunch of artsy pretension disguising a really basic and unremarkable film with some [[HandWave handwave explanation]] misogyny thrown in.

* Tropers/{{sephiroth144}}: In ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', what happens when Jake goes to tell the Na'vi what the Skypeople want. "Hey, we want a certain rock that's under your tree" And they couldn't slant-mine? Etc... He never did his damn job, and essentially caused both sides of the slaughter that occurred.

* Tropers/{{terlwyth}}: I never liked the idea of a [[FanonDiscontinuity campy reboot]] because ''Film/BatmanReturns'' didn't make enough money, but I was hoping it'd be decent. That however was instantly not the case when the Graysons decide to dispose of the bomb (which looks stupid) Two Face planted themselves instead of fleeing and getting proper authorities. There are other problems I have with this scene, but I'll skip to the death. So basically Two-Face shoots wildly and happens to cut the ropes the Graysons are on (except Dick) and they plummet to their deaths in what appears to be a little too peaceful while Two-Face conveniently finds a trap door to escape and then there wasn't a funeral and they weren't referenced [[Film/BatmanAndRobin next film]].

* Tropers/Papyru30 While I wasn't enjoying ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'' I didn't dislike it until [[spoiler: Le Fou's HeelFaceTurn]] mostly because it's extremely rushed and the dialogue sucked.

* Tropers/SteleResolve: I wasn't greatly impressed with ''Film/BlackChristmas1974'' (the original); it was rather dull, predictable, and the character stupid. But the unforgivably moronic moment came at the very end, with the police burst into the sorority house to find the supposed killer dead at the hands of the [[FinalGirl last survivor]], Hussey's character. So they haul his body off and talk about what a horrible event this has been... and then they just leave. Yeah, that girl's been through some pretty severe trauma and shock, but I'm sure leaving her alone in the very house where the source of her trauma occurred, without so much as a single cop or doctor to watch over her, is a perfectly sound idea.

* eirigfi: I am not the right demographic for ''Film/{{Bratz}}'', but since I enjoyed one of their other movies, I decided to give it a watch. It's the worst! One scene really did it for me though. Our "characters" are in detention arguing who's fault it is. One of them states it's Meredith's fault for "breaking them up". No. 1. There was no indicator that the girls could't hang out after school. 2. I can't care for this moment because it happens not even half way in the movie. 3. There is no way they spent two freaking years without contact with each other. And guess what, the movie actually gets worse from there.
* Tropers/CabbitGirlEmi: ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' isn't the worst movie out there (far from it), but I found it fairly boring for a movie from TheEighties. However, there is this one scene at the end that was uncalled for: when the teens open up to each other, Claire demonstrates that she can apply lipstick with her breasts. Everyone is impressed except for Bender, [[KickTheDog who has the nerve to]] [[BreakThemByTalking insult and yell at her]]. Seriously, there was no reason for this! [[AbusiveParents He might have been abused by his dad]], but that is no excuse for hurting the poor girl's feelings!

* Tropers/{{CAD}}: There is one scene in the ''Film/{{Doom}}'' movie which stands out for how atrociously bad it is. In the final fight scene, The Rock breaks off a metal wire and wraps it around his arm. This is how the movie nods to the Cyberdemon (note this is not fan conjecture, but actual WordOfGod).

* Animeking1108: While I enjoyed ''Film/ClerksII'', the whole ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[FandomRivalry vs]] ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' debate was an unnecessary AuthorFilibuster. They make the LOTR fanboy a StrawLoser that [[HypeBacklash only uses awards and critical praise]] as a justification. As for Randall, his reasons for bashing it were the HoYay between Frodo and Sam (which makes Creator/KevinSmith come off as a homophobe) and that all three movies were nothing but walking (which shows that Creator/KevinSmith pressed skip too many times on his remote). Randall ends his rant by saying the movie should have ended with Frodo and Sam 69ing each other. [[SarcasmMode Real mature, Smith]]. Not only did this turn Randall into TheScrappy for me, but my respect for Creator/KevinSmith drastically dropped.
** k9feline5: For me, what makes that scene a DMOS is the ridiculous notion that LOTR fans would be so shocked and demoralized by someone making Frodo/Sam HoYay insults, they'd have no option but to vomit, as if LOTR fans had never heard gay hobbit jokes before. Any chance there were still LOTR fans out there that sheltered was dead by late 2004 (and ''Clerks II'' came out in 2006, so no excuse there, Smith) with the release of the ''LOTR: Return of King Extended Edition'' DVD, which included a comedy sketch where Hollywood executives try to get Creator/PeterJackson to make a LOTR sequel that would be all about Frodo/Sam HoYay. If Randall had made those HoYay jabs to RealLife LOTR fans, they'd most likely start quoting from that sketch.
* Tropers/CameraBeardThePirate: The scene in ''Film/CowboysAndAliens'' where the MysteriousWaif is being carried away by one of the eponymous aliens. The protagonist gives chase, and, for no reason, the alien [[IdiotBall flies into a small canyon]], giving the hero ample opportunity to leap onto him and save the girl, [[TooDumbToLive rather than just fly away!]]

* LongGunner15: ''Film/DieHard2''. Two words: [[GunsDoNotWorkThatWay Glock. Seven.]] No such model has has ever existed (the Glock 17 pistol was the first Glock pistol, and the model numbers just get higher) and [=McClane=] claims that it is a ceramic pistol impervious to airport x-rays and metal detectors. [[SarcasmMode That's perfectly correct-- the 80% metal by weight, completely X-ray opaque pistol (not to mention brass and steel/lead ammunition) is invisible to x-ray.]] This wouldn't be such a problem if these pistols were not the entire fact that they are a significant threat to airport security. The mooks were shown to be rather cold-blooded. It would not have been far-fetched for them to have used ceramic knives (which actually exist) to kill several security guards and take their firearms.

* Tropers/SteleResolve: ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' was an all around hilarious movie, almost perfect. The one small thing keeping it from being a golden movie? The shit demon. Goddamn it, that was so unforgivably stupid. I mean, an extended ToiletHumor joke? Really? And the rest of the movie was laden with insightful and biting wit...
** Erwin: It was at least a missed opportunity to introduce the Golgathan by saying Azrael "called in the [[{{Pun}} Calvary]]."
* Creator/BoltDMC: Hands down, one of the best and funniest movies of all time is the Creator/MarxBrothers film ''Film/DuckSoup''. The jokes and routines are especially funny and the added subtext of "war is idiotic" gives the film an appealing depth. Groucho is also at his best here -- except for one wisecrack that is nowadays extremely cringeworthy for its lack of political correctness towards African-Americans: "My father was a little headstrong, my mother was a little armstrong. The Headstrongs married the Armstrongs, and that's why darkies were born." It's a reference to a popular song of the time, but frankly the joke's not even particularly FairForItsDay, and it makes one wonder what the writers were thinking. Ignore that one ugly moment, and the film is perfection.

* Tropers/OneInTwenty: In the movie ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000'' when Elwood (the Dwarf, I don't think his name is actually said in the movie though) rants for about five minutes about how Snails should hook up with a dwarf instead of an elf. Not only is this breaking his character as a character that almost never speaks, breaking WSOD about any and all interpretations of dwarf behavior, as well as the commonly cited understanding that dwarfs and humans are incompatible on a biological, social, behavioral and any other level of intimate interaction.

*** Tropers/WRM5: To be... well, for lack of a better word we'll say "fair" there was supposedly going to be a battle with the beholder, but they didn't have the budget for it. That said, I want to make it clear that's not me trying to justify the movie's flaws, because I absolutely don't mean that in a good way. This movie enters some kind of weird inverse form of this trope, where the actual worst part of the movie isn't a bad scene, it's a good scene that they didn't use. Specifically, when the main character Ridley is resting in the elf village to recover from his wounds, there was supposed to be a dream sequence wherein he learns the importance of dragons: all life in the world comes from magic and dragons are the physical embodiment of magic, therefore if too many dragons die the universe itself will cease to exist. This is why the Red Dragon Rod is so dangerous, this is why the threat of a war between dragons is treated as an apocalyptic scenario, and this is why Ridley becomes so resolved to win no matter what. Without this scene the entire movie just stops making sense.
* Tropers/{{Korval}}: The ''Film/{{Eragon}}'' movie has one. Anyway, Eragon has a dream about Arya, a woman he's only ever heard of by this point and one he first met in a dream. She's being tortured. So naturally, he wakes up and wants to rescue her. Then, Jeremy Irons as Brom uses his acting talent to its fullest (well, the fullest that the writing lets him) to try to convince Eragon not to go off half-cocked, to act responsibly and so forth. Irons' performance gives you a real sense of the urgency in Eragon not doing this. And then Eragon says, "Your shame is not mine!" At this point, liking Eragon (the character) has been rendered 100% impossible. It's like crossing the MoralEventHorizon, only without having to actually kill anyone. It would have been much more acceptable if Irons hadn't been so damned convincing in his performance, because Eragon's blowing him off so easily and so harshly just makes you want to reach through the screen and choke the shit out of him.

* Tropers/{{Sanfranman91}}: While watching ''Film/FantasticFour2015'', it became crystal clear to me that Josh Trank hates those who have read the comics only five minutes in. Before Ben Grimm's abusive brother batters Ben, he says "It's clobbering time". I understand that many directors have been creating darker adaptations of comic books. However, seeing The Thing's classic battlecry transformed into a prelude to sibling abuse is perhaps the most despicable perversion of a classic and beloved catchphrase I had seen in any form of media. [[http://io9.com/is-this-the-worst-moment-in-the-fantastic-four-movie-g-1722322802 i09 asked if this was the worst moment in the entire film]] and, while the film was terrible in general, I can say yes because that scene was essentially Trank giving ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' fans like myself the middle finger.

* bobdrantz: While the remake of ''Film/{{Godzilla 1998}}'' was an awful movie all around, the absolute worst moment of the film was when Dr. Tatapolous finds out that the titular monster is pregnant... You mean to tell me that Dean Devlin and Creator/RolandEmmerich actually thought that would be a good idea to turn what originally was a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything walking allegory of the atomic bomb]] into a freakin' pregnant iguana!? Devlin and Emmerich, you managed to take one of the most iconic movie characters of all time [[CharacterDerailment and turned him into a sick joke (And not the funny kind either.)]]

* Miracle @ St. Olaf: Woah, ''Film/Godzilla2014'' is shaping up to be a fantastic improvement over Hollywood's last crack at the franchise! With such a strong performance from Creator/BryanCranston and such a very compelling and tragic motivation for his character, I'm really looking forward to how he'll help carry the film, especially compared to the person-shaped plank of wood that's supposed to be his son-- Wait, what just happened? No, don't do this, movie; we're only a half-hour in! Oh, come on; he has to be okay, right? Like, maybe he just got really sick, and they didn't want him to sneeze on anybody so they're zipping him into a... *sigh* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim into a body bag]]. Welp, there goes any compelling human element to the film, but hey; at least we'll get to see plenty of Godzilla breaking shit up, [[JustHereForGodzilla which is what we bought a ticket for in the first place]], isn't it? Annnnnd now [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome they're closing the shelter doors on the camera just as the big guy starts fighting the MUTOs]]. [[SarcasmMode Yaaaay]]. While it's still a better movie than ''Godzilla '98'' and finally delivers some sweet payoff in the end, there's nothing enjoyable about suffering the cinematic equivalent of blue balls for the two hours leading up to it. Sometimes less is more, true, but when it comes to Godzilla showing up in his own movie, less is just plain... less.
** Tropers/TheMasterChand: The sequel, ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' is a massive improvement in many respects that I personally really like. So it's painful for me to do this, but the part where Vivian Graham is eaten by King Ghidora is just sadistic and unnecessary. We know Ghidora is an evil, irredeemable monster who lives for the killing, the rest of the movie, as well as his status in the franchise in general, make this ''very clear''. Having a well developed, sympathetic character die in agony and become King Ghidora's crap was not going to add to that in any way. All it did, was put a damper on an otherwise spectacular film. In fact, every single time, without fail, that I consider whether I'm going to watch this film, and decide not to, this scene is the exact reason, 100% of the time.
* Tropers/{{baronobeefdip}}: I find ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' to be a GuiltyPleasure for the most part, but I find there's one glaring DMOS going against it. What is it, you ask? It's during the final battle when Monster X transforms into Keizer Ghidorah. [[FlatWhat What?]] Ok, Toho, I can forgive the ridiculously short "Godzilla VS (Insert monster here)" battles. I can forgive the silly [[Film/TheMatrix Matrix]][=/=]Franchise/XMen[=/=]Franchise/StarWars inspired "human vs alien" plot. I can forgive that the "Mothra VS Gigan" plot point lead to nothing but a rather pointless cameo by [[FanNickname Kamikaze Mothra]] at the end. What I can't forgive however, is that you turned what was an exciting battle between Godzilla and a new foe into yet another Godzilla VS Ghidorah battle. Yes, Toho you made me lose interest at the climax of the film due to turning an original fight into a cliched one.

* Cheedo: While ''{{Film/Grease}}'' is overall a funny, entertaining classic movie, I have always had a huge problem with how the movie allows Sandy to be treated- and how it makes her respond to it. Danny constantly picks his shallow, Jerkass friends over a kind girl he genuinely likes. What does Sandy do? She gets an UnnecessaryMakeover. Now that we know modesty is uncool and pounds of makeup and tight clothes are what strong women wear, Sandy will be accepted by his friends. Oh, and that clean athlete image Danny worked hard at? Now that Sandy has conformed to the cool kids' standards in a way her parents will inevitably disapprove of, he throws it all away to go back to his old ways. On top of that, the extremely catchy virgin-shaming song is so very unnecessary and is never treated as wrong as much as Rizzo getting slut-shamed is.

* {Skylite}: Film/Halloween2018
** The sheriff asks, knowing Myers is on the loose, "what are we gonna do, cancel Halloween?" Duh. Yes!
* @/MacPhisto: ''Film/HalloweenResurrection'' -- aside from one of the worst {{Ass Pull}}s ever in order to bring Michael back, at the climax this formerly unstoppable monster gets his ass kicked by [[StuntCasting Busta Rhymes]]! Who was imitating moves he saw in a Creator/BruceLee movie!
** Tropers/SpideyTerry: What I found so irritating is that they killed off Laurie in the opening minutes and left it at that. Now, that was a really good sequence, but what's next? Tracking down Laurie's son, the apparently last living relative? You'd think so since Michael's M.O. is going after his relatives. However, instead, he goes home and essentially plays janitor in his home. Eesh. The basic plot could've made a decent horror flick, but no way this should've been the direction for a ''Halloween'' movie. Eesh, if they were gonna bring back Michael, they should've gone all out - not just inserted him into a plot that could've been anyone else's.

* Frnmmma: ''Film/TheImitationGame'' was a decent film until they got to the part where they solved the Enigma Code. Turing realizes that if too many ships started to avoid the Germans, then suspicions would be raised, and the Nazis would change their code. So what Turing does is try to get his boss to tell as few people as possible. WhatTheHellHero indeed. I'm pretty sure that in real life there was collateral damage because they couldn't tell everyone traveling the Atlantic about upcoming torpedoes, but this was not Turing's call to make. This made the troper immediately stop watching the film on Netflix, and when her class wanted to watch to tell them that it was a bad idea. It's one thing to have the main character to be an InsufferableGenius (though I thought that he was charming up until that point), but to have him be so arrogant that he makes military decisions about people's lives and safety is just taking it too far.
* Bobg: I don't care about Victor Salva's past. He did his time and has every right to go back to making films, and I hate those who try to bring up a person's past and use it as an excuse to boycott their work when there is no connection between the two. I hate them even more when they have the gall to insult people for paying for and supporting those works. No, I don't hate ''Film/JeepersCreepers 3'' for the fact that it was made by Victor Salva. I hate it for the scene where the protagonists find out what the Creeper is and the film says "Fuck you" to the audience by not telling us. We waited 14 years for the film, with it being promised for all of those years that when it came out, it would reveal the Creeper's origin. This continued when the trailer was finally released. Than the film comes out and they break their promise and tease the audience. The way they promised to reveal what it is but only let the characters learn while hiding it from the audience, and than doing a sequel tease at the end just screams "We lied. Wait several more years and you MAY find out." Well fuck you. You deliberately tease us with that scene and refuse to tell us after you promised you would. Not only does this scene break a promise, but it also makes the entire movie pointless. Since the film takes place between 1 and 2, we know he's gonna be alive at the end, so the only point to this film would be to reveal his origin, which does not happen.

* Tropers/DannyLilithborne: ''Film/LadyInTheWater'' was [[{{Pun}} treading water]], but I was along for the ride for awhile. I could even tolerate [[MartyStu the director being a main character in the story]]. But then... a kid reads plot-oriented messages from the backs of cereal boxes. Judging from the expression on the faces of everyone I saw leave the theater, I think the cheated feeling was mutual.

** [=JediMasterDraco=]: ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]''. In the book, the great gate of Minas Tirith is smashed by a combination of the ram, Grond, and the Witch-King's magic. This is the last scene of the chapter:

** Tropers/DrZulu2010: For me, it has to be a scene in the theatrical version of ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'' where, after surrounding Saruman, they basically said let's make sure Saruman stays in his tower and never bothers anyone again. I already knew that one of my favourite moments in the book (The Scouring of the Shire) was excluded [[EndingFatigue for good reasons]] so basically that means that Saruman, the second most important villain after Sauron, never gets his comeuppance. The fact that his death scene was removed for time constraints is more infuriating since 1. this happens early in the movie and 2. this is a major villain. I'm pretty sure we can add a little 15 minutes (or heck, removing some sequence which are filler) so we can see Saruman getting backstabbed by Grima and falling from his tower in an epic DisneyVillainDeath. This is why I need to find the extended cut of the movie.
** {{Tropers/bernardthebeanpole}}: Gandalf's behaviour in the Pyre of Denethor scene. Ok, he needs to stop Faramir's immolation- so he knocks Denethor back with a pole and has Shadowfax kick him into the flames (essentially sealing his death warrant.) I mean, he might not like the guy but geez...

* [=KingBowser9001=]: In ''Film/{{Spectre}}'', even if [[spoiler:Blofeld's HijackedByGanon over the previous Creator/DanielCraig[=-era=] films]] isn't the absolute worst moment in the franchise, it's definitely the most laughable. Even if the motive was incredibly stupid, what really annoyed me here was how sloppily-implemented it felt, to the point of feeling like a cheap {{Retcon}}. [[spoiler:So, Blofeld, you say you specifically engineered the deaths of M and Vesper Lynd, right? Well, then, how is it that after re-watching those movies to see exactly how well this was implemented, I know that Lynd essentially committed suicide outside of your machinations, and M was killed by what's basically a stray bullet? How the hell do you plan a stray bullet? How the hell do you engineer suicide?! It's almost as though Bond spared Blofeld in the climax because he didn't buy it, either. It also undermines and cheapens the actions of the previous Craig-era villains by essentially retconning them into more pawns to Blofeld.]] It's extremely difficult to believe that he planned this from the beginning, and the execution feels extremely poor.

* Tropers/{{YoungPrincessZelda}}: The ending of ''Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' with the unnecessary church choir and church bells. This is a Scfi/Horror movie, what gives? They got the reason why the martians die at the end right, but the last two lines of the monologue explaining it throw in religious stuff into an adaptation of an atheist's novel. H.G. Wells probably would've flipped over the ending if he saw it.

* Tropers/{{Peteman}}: In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', when we find out just how deep the corruption and particularly the incompetence runs in the Alliance, and given how tired and overused that theme is in Creator/JossWhedon franchises, I felt like he was reaching out of the screen to insult me personally.
** Tropers/{{ondarisa}}: For me, it was the scene where the crew returns to Haven to find it wiped out. Mal orders the crew to cover his ship with the blood and corpses of their dead friends, and he'll kill anyone who dares to confront him about it. Particularly jarring when in the next scene he shrugs off the Operative's NotSoDifferentRemark speech with "I don't kill children"... he just threatens to kill the people he thinks of that way. I simply couldn't view him as a hero after that.
** Tropers/{{Allronix}}: "A leaf on the wind..." [=*crash* *thud*=] C'mon, Joss. That was totally pointless, didn't advance the plot, had no impact on the rest of the plotline events, and was a bit of cheap shock by reverting to your usual cliche of killing off a character just to invoke the AnyoneCanDie trope. At least Book got to take down the sons of bitches in that cruiser! But this just proves that Joss can't tie his shoes without some cheap character death.
* Tropers/{{Slowzombie}}: ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'', the scene where Shilo stands up to her father for the first time. Not a bad moment in itself, but the song that follows is not at all pleasant. For one, it feels out of place, with a sudden swerve from the established "we sing to talk"-style to the more music video-like "band and dancers out of nowhere"-style. In addition, it is a little... [[ParentalIncest creepy]]. [[http://agonybooth.com/repoge0b Agony Booth]] gave it a particularly vicious recap:
--> ''Now, I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason why they would stop their 'serious' musical to include a 'rocking' teen rebellion song that has nothing to do with padding the soundtrack, but whatever it is, this song is just awful, so much so that TV Tropes, which is run by people who like everything, lists this scene as Repo's Dethroning Moment of Suck.''


* Tropers/X2X: In ''Film/TheVillage2004'', yet another Creator/MNightShyamalan [[SarcasmMode classic]], we had the obligatory TwistEnding. [[spoiler:The eponymous village is not set in 1897, but was actually founded during in the late 1970s and is essentially a human wildlife reserve/science observatory plant. The female lead learns this when one member of the community falls ill and requires medical aid that is only found in the modern-day society]]. Fittingly enough, this movie is almost unanimously hailed as the point where his movies were thrust into third gear... right into the realm of suck. [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken What a tweeeest]], indeed.
** Tropers/XiVXaV: What cements the ending as a DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck is that it was possibly plagiarized from a 90s children's novel called ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_Out_of_Time_%28novel%29 Running Out of Time]]'', to the point where the publisher considered legal action.
* Tropers/{{Crazyrabbits}}: The "dance scene" in ''Film/MemoirsOfAGeisha'', where the newly-minted geisha Sayuri (Zhang Ziyi) performs a dance amid a blanket of fake snow onstage... the only problem is that it's not a dance, despite what the characters claim. Sayuri walks onto the stage in [[{{Narm}} six-inch platform shoes]], waves her umbrella around for a few moments and jumps around acting spastically for a few seconds. She dances for less than two minutes. Yet, everyone thinks this is good enough to give her a standing ovation. Putting aside all the other problems with the film (slow pacing, unlikable characters, cultural inaccuracies), the dance scene proves that Hollywood didn't understand the concept of a geisha at all.










* Tropers/Enchanter468: The scene in the ''Film/WingCommander'' movie where the ''Tiger Claw'' has to hide in an asteroid crater to avoid a Kilrathi ship, and everyone aboard the Tiger Claw has to be very, very quiet so that the other spaceship doesn't hear' them! You know, I'm okay with [[SpaceIsNoisy sound in space]]; I don't go after ''Film/Armageddon1998'' or ''Franchise/StarWars'' or ''Franchise/StarTrek'' for it, but when a movie flat out states that not only can the audience hear the sound in space, but so can the characters, that is freaking pushing it.




* Troper/KenyaStarflight: I'm not saying that ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'' is a good film by any means... but it crosses a line from being bad to being downright insulting with the introduction of Lero and Lola Sombrero, two [[EthnicScrappy Ethnic Scrappies]] that embody everything that's wrong with the {{Spexico}} trope (with [[SnakeCharmer a bizarre jab at East Indian culture]] for good measure). As if being a bad parody of Hispanic/Spanish culture wasn't enough, neither of them are actually played by a Spanish/Hispanic/Latino actor! Did the filmmakers honestly think that when viewers think Hispanic/Spanish culture, they think of Creator/JaimePressly and Creator/ChristopherLloyd? Or did they just not care?

* Tropers/{{Kitchen90}}: ''Film/PitchPerfect'' had the scene in which Beca is caught singing as she prepares for her shower by one of the head runners of the Bellas, and that disgusted me to the point [[BrainBleach of wanting to shower myself]]. I just found it awkward, and just couldn't believe that this was {{played for laughs}} -- the way that Beca obviously looks uncomfortable with Chloe standing there staring at her, [[SlasherSmile the smug grin Chloe gives]] her when she finds Beca's singing good enough to be in the Bellas group, and then the pair of them caught naked in the cubicle by a male student. I didn't laugh at all at any part of it, especially at the implication of Chloe liking to pleasure herself to the David Guetta hit tune "Titanium", which just made the scene entirely gross and stalkerish. Seriously, it sounded like Chloe was bragging about that rather intimate detail, making me glad that worse things didn't happen in that scene, and practically thanked God when it vanished from the screen.

* Tropers/AHauntedMind: While ''Film/{{Pixels}}'' is a horrendous film on its own, the moment where I stopped watching was when Creator/AdamSandler's character "[[WithFriendsLikeThese friend]]" did an atrocious cover of Music/TearsForFears' "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". Putting classic 80's games in an awful movie is bad enough, but ruining one of the best songs of the 80's, from one of the best ''bands'' of the 80's, is simply inexcusable. (And, yes, I know I'm overreacting; I'm just having a visceral reaction to the [[DefiledForever defilement]] of a fantastic song.)

* Tropers/DanDanNoodles: ''Film/TheRock'' was a silly movie start to end, which, OK, don't expect subtlety and nuance from Michael Bay. But one scene in particular is so egregiously dumb that it turned me into a bad theater neighbor, as I was compelled to say, out loud, "Oh, come on!" -- when Mason cuts through a plate glass window with... a quarter. Not a special diamond-edged, super-secret spy window-cutter cleverly designed as a quarter, mind you. A plain old quarter, straight out of his pocket. Seriously, they aren't even trying at that point, just seeing how much they can put over on moviegoers so long as they sandwich it between lots of shiny lights and explosions.
** Tropers/{{pvtnum11}}: Possibly handwaved; I recall Mason slams the metal chair leg onto the quarter before picking it up, and that might have put a sharp edge on the quarter. Maybe. My DMOS on that movie was having every single SEAL getting waxed by the wayward Marines. Yeah, okay, high-ground and all that, but really?
*** Tropers/TheGoodSamaritan: Seconded. For me, it was that all of the [=SEALs=] are handed an enormous IdiotBall which makes them forget that [[TooDumbToLive they are perfectly capable of moving to more adequate cover.]] Instead, they all stand futilely in plain sight, firing blindly and not moving an inch, letting the Marines turn them into Swiss cheese. Really, [[Creator/MichaelBay Michael?]] I had trouble taking you seriously before, but this...

* {{Supreme-X15}}: ''Film/SpiderMan3'' is seen as the weakest of the original ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' and I can understand why. There were numerous problems, like a slow plot, very few actions scenes, too many villains to keep track of, and some bad characterization. However, I could tolerate these issues, because I'm a Spider-Man fan, and I try to see the positive side of some of the worst things the Spider-Man franchise has wrought over the years. Hell, I'm even willing to consider ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' a somewhat entertaining movie, despite it's flaws. But, ''Spider-Man 3'' has a scene I can't help but ''cringe'' at it every time I see or even think about it. The Jazz club... I really hate the Jazz club scene, alright! Of the things Emo Peter did throughout [=SM3=] [[note]]Some of which were pretty cool, considering Peter was [[ExtremeDoormat kind of a doormat]] most of the time in this iteration[[/note]], I remember distinctly cringing so much when I first saw the scene of Peter dancing and upstaging Mary Jane in the club that I turned away in embarrassment, because I did not remember Peter doing anything like this anywhere that I could think of, regardless of if he's wearing the Symbiote. Him dancing around and flirting with Gwen in front MJ was way too embarrassing to watch, and felt so out of place. To this day, still don't like it. I don't care if has reached some kind of meme status over the years, I do not understand the purpose of this scene, and I do not care!

* 1810072342: ''[[Film/SupermanTheMovie Superman '78]]'', with the ending. The idea that Superman flies around the Earth millions of times in one second: cool. The idea that he does this to slowly reverse the Earth's rotation: nice. The idea that this action will cause time to run backwards: What?! Just... why did they think this was a reasonable plot device?
** Miracle @ St. Olaf: Speaking of child abuse played for humor, there's also the scene where Superman rescues a little girl's cat from a tree. She runs home to excitedly tell her mother what happened, and we hear her mother yell at her for lying, then slap her in the face. The joke's setup wasn't funny to start with, so it's safe to say that omitting the punchline --a young child being struck-- wouldn't have detracted from the "humor" one tiny bit.

%%* Tropers/CaptainEquinox: ''Film/MarsAttacks'' opens with a few remarks about smelling barbecue, then we see a herd of cattle running down a road and they're on fire. This was supposed to be uproariously funny. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I just got up and walked out]].

* Tropers/CabbitGirlEmi: I got through ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' feeling a strange combination of feelings, but I had solely negative feelings for one scene, in a bad way. Somewhere within an hour [[TimeSkip after several years have passed]], Caden Cotard visits his dying daughter Olive in Berlin. They use translators because Olive now speaks German. Long story short, [[spoiler:Olive refuses to forgive Caden because of lies about being gay told by her stepmother (which happened off-screen), and then she dies. The stepmother then rubs the events in Caden's face]]. Not only was it tonally confusing for me, but was it necessary to give poor Caden an unwanted kick to his emotional crotch on top of other crap he's went through?

* larry4163: The ''Film/ThreeFlavoursCornettoTrilogy'' films are all far from being bad films. That being said, the third and final film, ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'' can, for the most part, be considered just as funny, touching and epic as the two films that came before it. That is, all except for one very important part of the film that it caps of the entire trilogy with, that being right after the thrilling climax of the film, we get the ending and resolution to the film. And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Oh, My, Gracious]] is this a truly shark-jumpingly stupid [[AssPull let down of an ending]] not just to the film, but to the entire trilogy as a whole!
** First up, after the surviving characters leg their way out of the destroyed Newtown Haven we soon find that not only has the pulse destroyed the town where it started, but now it has sent out a chain reaction of pulses that have wiped out all the advanced technology across Britain and presumably the rest of the world and has sent humanity back to the Dark Ages. [[BigWhat What???]] Okay, I could accept that in this world, some aliens were behind the development of today's telecommunications and computer technology, but first off, exactly how long have freaking aliens been influencing human technology, to begin with? In the movie, Basil claims that they arrived in Newtown Haven in 1990, which would make sense given the rise of the internet from then on, but even then, there's a tattle-tale sign on the Newtown roundabout sign that hints aliens might have originally founded Newtown as far back as the 1900s! So, is this basically like in ''Series/AncientAliens'' where aliens have been influencing/living among humans since older times?\\
\\
Further on, as the epilogue unravels, we suddenly find that there are more blanks outside of Newtown, presumably from other penetration spots, or so it would seem, as given there are now many of them; are we now supposed to assume that this whole time Britain's major population centers were populated with humanoid robots without once making a slip-up? No resistance movement, no unrest, just a happy population? And not because of an easier lifestyle but instead because they got replaced by robots?\\
\\
But it gets better! Now that technology is gone, Andy says that life is now simpler, and Gary King is looking to restore human civilization through a new movement to be "The King". Did none of the creators of this movie ever watch films like ''Film/TheDayAfter'' or ''Film/{{Threads}}''? The fact that the alien pulse has wiped out their technology would also mean that it would have destroyed most of its infrastructure as well. And as with many poorly written apocalyptic disaster movies, this issue seems to be almost completely overlooked, as Andy only mentioned how a few people that weren't converted into blanks lost their lives after the great pulse. Realistically, it is entirely possible that more people were wiped out by exposure/starvation than were simply mulched and replaced with blanks, and Gary and his posse were essentially partly to blame for this! Not because the whole blank program was something humans would have wanted to begin with, but because most humans didn't even need to be replaced, as the infrastructure was keeping them alive and well, to begin with. And what makes it even worse, is that in spite of the title, the ending just doesn't work as an endpoint to justify any of the film's themes or messages because of the sole reason that it was not properly built up at any point in the film and winds up being a nearly literal last-minute [[{{Pun}} Shocking Swerve]] that happens directly ''after'' the film's climax. There was no need to literally bring TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt if the blank invasion meant the end of humanity all by itself, and in fact rather than just having the aliens take away their blank production facilities and leave humanity to its own devices in an uncertain future, what happens instead winds up invalidating Gary's awesome ''ScrewDestiny'' maneuver of defiance that he carried with him all throughout the film!\\
\\
Essentially, both The Network and Gary's crew are in some ways responsible for the film's ending; whereas Gary and his friends simply freaked at the existential threat and The Network's vaguely socialist agenda of destroying free will between free men, The Network, despite claiming to be an omnipotent and well-intentioned alien entity, seemed to show absolutely no regards towards the idea that since all humans think independently, they would never be capable of seeing another person's idea of "perfect" as their own idea of "perfect". This means that The Network, despite what it claims itself to be (calling humanity out as a bunch of "Fuckups" for their repeated cycles of self-destruction) [[{{Hypocrite}} is, in fact, committing the same "Fuckup" that many socialist human leaders have done in the past,]] (holding people against their will and probable existential genocide) which it might have also done on the other planets it claimed were more "developed"!\\
\\
To top it all off, there is the idea that Gary's quest would be a sign that humanity would be able to put itself back together again under the hopes of striking back at The Network once it was back to its former status. Again, this seems to ignore the notion that aliens have been influencing human technology for many years, and thus seems to place this "present-day world" in a setting where [[CreativeSterility humans on their own could never advance their own technology]] beyond MedievalStasis, and could never even so much as get of the ground on their own without [[EtGaveUsWifi the intervention of aliens.]] And considering that the pulse has destroyed all infrastructure on Earth, basically, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero thanks to both The Network and Gary's crew,]] [[EsotericHappyEnding all of humanity is now thoroughly screwed for a long time to come,]] with little more than sticks and stones fend for themselves, let alone get off their InsignificantBluePlanet [[AllForNothing to stop the network and its domination of other systems...]] Oh yeah, [[ArtifactTitle and there isn't even any]] [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools actual Mint Cornetto]] [[DamnedByFaintPraise (save for a wrapper)]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking anywhere in the movie.]]
* Tropers/TheTitanPrince: I like ''Film/{{TRON}}'', but there's one thing about it that really annoys me: the entire existence of Yori. Granted, it's been a while since I last saw the film and I could be misremebering a few things, but I can't remember her existence ever being foreshadowed. She randomly shows up brainwashed by Sark's forces, is un-brainwashed by Tron through powers that, like her, were never foreshadowed or shown before, and then she joins him for no apparent reason. Even more enraging about this is that this comes shortly after [[spoiler: the death of Ram, a far more likeable character than Yori.]] Yori gets pretty much no character development (the only thing she really does the whole thing is make out with Tron and Flynn, convince Dumont to help them, and create a Solar Sailor). From what I've been told, there were some deleted scenes that developed her character more, but she just feels like a waste in the final cut.
** Tropers/{{Allronix}}: Flynn's creepy behavior towards Yori and that damn kiss. First of all, Flynn behaves like a creep to her because she looks like the ex he's still hung up on (and Lora was obviously the one who dumped him...and upgraded to Alan, who actually behaves like a responsible adult). Yori was clearly unsettled by him, and he kept making attempts to get in her space. It was also clearly obvious that she and Tron were a committed couple, and Flynn wasn't able to respect that. Digging himself deeper, Yori is (from a certain point of view) Lora's daughter. Yuck! Oh, and she had no idea what he was doing to her or what it meant, judging from her kissing Tron later, and Tron having no idea what it was. And to add a gallon of gasoline to the dumpster fire in progress, he's technically a deity over her, meaning that even if she did know, she wouldn't be in a position to tell him "no," making it a {{downplayed|Trope}} (but still awful) case of DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal. Just how many lines was El Duderino trying to cross here?
* SenorCornholio: No mention of the [[WesternAnimation/JemAndTheHolograms Jem]] movie yet? Just watching WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic tearing it apart was enough to keep me away from this mess, even as someone who never saw the original cartoon. It had nothing to do with the show, everything is changed up aside from the idea that the characters are in a band, and pretty much everything I could potentially say about it has already been said by people like Doug and [[WebVideo/RebelTaxi Pan]] in the past. However, one moment in the movie, I have to mention. In case you were blissfully unaware, the creators of the movie gave the fans a chance to be in the movie by simply stating how much they loved the show. Sounds like an interesting idea, right? It seems like they're being nice to the fans. However, that's not what they did; what fans got instead was their own gushing over Cartoon!Jem being used at the end of the film, and edited to make it look like they're talking about Movie!Jem. Wow. Not since [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo Return of Slade]] have I seen such an insult towards a fanbase in my entire life. Give the other moments on this page credit; at least they didn't go out of their way to insult a franchise's fanbase to such a degree.

* {{Tyrekecorrea}}: ''Film/PowerRangers2017'' gives us a lot to complain about, but my chief complaint is that it shames the LGBT community. Case in point: putting an LGBT Power Ranger on even terms with one who has Autism is like saying that being LGBT is a disability or illness. Then there's that scene where it looked like Billy died... why would Saban allow that when David Yost, who originally played Billy, is both understood to be gay and consistently top of mind? Now people are going to think that everyone who is gay is awkward and can't function. What's the deal with Trini, for that matter? She's said to be LGBT, but it's never made clear whether she's a lesbian or bisexual. Is she neither? Is she some kind of omnigay person who has no set identity of sexual orientation? Is that what the term "queer" means in an LGBT context now? This Trini doesn't so much relate to the gay community as make it look like a bunch of freaks, and it's an awful thing to do to Thuy Trang's legacy.
* Tropers/AL19: I honestly only watched the film ''Film/GodsOfEgypt'' for BileFascination, as I was curious as to how bad it was (It's definitely bad, though I don't hate as much as most people do). While there were some moments that were pretty confusing, there was one which utterly bamboozled me. And that is the moment where [[spoiler: Ra appears to be dead after being stabbed by Set, only for the viewers to discover later that he was somehow alive this whole time]]. Now you could make the argument that because Ra is a god, he [[spoiler: can't die]]. That would've been a decent argument... if it wasn't for one thing. See, in the beginning of the film, [[spoiler: Set battled against his brother, Osiris, and eventually stabbed him, causing Osiris to die a moment later. He makes the exact same action to Ra much later on, and it seems as though he died. However, right after Horus tells him "There's still time", Ra opens his eyes, essentially telling the viewers, "Haha, I'm not dead, suckers."]] Just that moment was beyond nonsensical.
** Tropers/{{ManEFaces}}: What makes it worse is that immortality couldn't be the fallback excuse for Ra not dying because he was going to appoint Set as his successor. You don't need your son to replace you if you can't die.



* [=SenorCornholio=]: After giving [[Series/OutOfJimmysHead Re-Animated]] a re-watch, I can safely say this is the worst movie I've ever seen. There are many reasons for this, but since I'm only allowed to choose one, I guess I'll have go with [[BigBad Sonny's]] backstory. Long story short, he's the only son of [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]], whom the latter never even acknowledged as such. After Milt's death, Sonny was made president and ended up [[AudienceAlienatingEra running it into the ground]] by making incredibly bad cartoons starring the Appleday cartoons. Not too bad on the surface, right? Well, let's start with the fact that he's apparently been below one of the rides for 30 years at this point. So, making a bunch of bad cartoons is grounds for life imprisonment? What happens if any animator doesn't have a good writing day one time? Do they get the same treatment? Even worse is the second aspect of all this: when Robin tells Jimmy more about him, we see a picture of what he looked like 30 years prior. He was, without question, around the age of 10. So you're telling me that Milt died, they made his untrained, under-aged son the president, and when he made bad cartoons, they locked him up? Before you could even call UnfortunateImplications, the movie then shows that Sonny is still the president of Appleday Studios, still has his seat in the office, and was still running the place to the ground. Not to mention, Appleday's work still has its fans, so 30 years clearly didn't have the "drive everyone away" effect that the movie seems to imply. So, is he imprisoned, or is he not? I can't tell if I'm supposed to feel angry anymore, because the movie doesn't even know what it wants to say. All it leaves me is a mix of angry and confused; at least with other bad movies I've seen, all the stuff that was shown seemed to have at least some form of purpose and had at least some kind of narrative. With this one element, nowhere more was it clear to me that the movie was written in a single draft. They didn't think through implications, they didn't know how they wanted the story to go, and they didn't even bother re-reading their script. It was just there to show off live action on Cartoon Network, nothing more.

* Tropers/{{Retloclive}}: I got my enjoyment out of ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne2018'' for what it is, but one moment I can't overlook is how players couldn't figure out for years until the main character, Parzival, figured it out that the solution to passing the race test for the 1st key [[spoiler:was to just drive backwards]]. Really movie? No one over a couple years ever noticed something so simple? People would instantly try to break the game in any way they know how when they realize that the race can't be won the normal way, and [[spoiler:driving backwards]] would easily be one of the first things people would try to pull off to make something different happen. What's even worse is that it apparently took several years to figure the 1st test out, yet the 2nd and 3rd tests, which many could argue are actually more difficult to figure out, ended up being solved within the span of one day. Oh hey, look at that. IOI actually has a group of people trying to figure out what Atari 2600 game solves the 3rd test. What the heck have you guys been doing being unable to figure out the race test all these years? Overall, this is such a mockery to people who are actual video-gamers, or even just people that have the simplest of intelligence.
** Tropers/DrZulu2010: One of the worst thing about Ready Player One (both the movie and the book) is the overall nostalgia pandering who felt like they're here because they are awesome rather than for plot purpose (Is there a good reason why the final challenge in the book has to be quoting word for word Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail?) but the worst moment of pandering from the movies has to be the inclusion of WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant in the final battle. At first, it felt awesome to see him in a multi-million dollar budget but then you realize "wait... why is the Iron Giant here?" The original movie was an anti-gun allegory written after Brad Bird's sister got killed by her husband and yet Ernest Cline and Steven Spielberg thought he should be the important one? You can put Gigantor, Mazinger Z, Giant Robo, Gurren Lagann, the Eva-01 or Gao Gai Gar in there and they would be more fitting than the Iron Giant.
** Tropers/AHauntedMind: For me, it's the scene where [[IdiotHero Wade]] is escaping from one of the stacks collapsing on top of him, and, instead of [[OneDimensionalThinking running to the side]], he runs away ''[[TooDumbToLive in a straight line]]''. I guess the name of his VR high school is the [[WebVideo/CinemaSins Prometheus School Of Running Away From Things]].
* polybius81: As much as {{Literature/Diary Of A Wimpy Kid}}: The Long Haul was a horrible film in general, one scene stood out to me the most, the scene where [[spoiler: Greg goes to a video game convention, to see his Idol Mac Digby, sneaks in on the stage, Mac has no idea who he is, but then his mother comes and takes him off the stage, but not before she reveals to Digby and the Public that Greg Heffley is "Diaper Hands", the lack of remorse from Digby, and even Greg's family, was just where I completely lost it, and it set up a horrible stereotype of a Gamer and Let's Player in General]].



* Tropers/DrZulu2017: While I can give ''[[Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians The Lightning Thief]]'' some slack for introducing me to one of my favourites book series, I don't have the same level of kindness for Sea of Monsters. The biggest problem for me came from the climax. Not only they put four... fake-out... deaths in less than 30 minutes, the last one (Annabeth) was so pointless you could easily remove it and you'll only lose one minute. I mean, Tyson being shot by an arrow and falling off a cliff? Yeah, okay; I can get that. Luke and Grover eaten by Kronos? This is more of a "blink and you miss it" moment. But Annabeth stabbed and poisoned by the manticore who so happens to be ignored during the climax and the characters mourning her before remembering "That's right! We got the Golden Fleece!"? This became ridiculous![[note]]What's worse is that is a reference to the book where Annabeth was also in danger of dying except that: one this happens when they had to deal with Polythemus pursuing them and could have die if it weren't from Tyson's BigDamnHeroes moment and two: they didn't have the Fleece so her life is hanging by a thread and time is off the essence; making the drama and tension very high.[[/note]] It didn't help that she got a major case of Chickification in the movies, basically turning one of my favourite character from the novel into basicaly the movie version of [[Film/TheLastAirbender Katara]].
* SampaCM: Here i'm listing a moment from ''Film/TotalRecall1990'': After watching [[Film/TotalRecall2012 the 2012 remake]] I could write books about how it's better than the original: for starers, I think Colin Farrell was a better hero than [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Arnold]], the fact that it takes place in some colony on Earth makes it more credible than that stupid thing in Mars, that quirky black guy who turned out to be TheMole was very annoying, and the part where the villain Cohaagen suffocates in the martian atmosphere was pretty disturbing, I guess it's just too fantastic for my taste; but my DMOS is the part where Cohaagen, out of frustration because Quaid (Or Hauser, I don't know) escaped, [[TantrumThrowing throws a tantrum]] and smashes an aquarium, and we get a look of the poor fish suffocating to death. What? Why was that necessary? If you wanted to put emphasis on how evil Cohaagen was, there are better ways than venting your anger on some innocent animals.



* DCorp123: Creator/RogerMoore had always been the goofiest Bond, for better or for worse. As many amazing moments his films had, they also had a lot of really bad moments that didn't fit the franchise very well, [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun from the slide whistle sound effect that ruined an otherwise great]] CarChase, [[Film/{{Moonraker}} to Bond's infamous trip to space]]. But for me the biggest JumpTheShark moment in Film/JamesBond history had to be the clown scene in ''Film/{{Octopussy}}''. As goofy as these films get, at least Bond has some sort of integrity, but this feels entirely unfitting of his character. Bond is supposed to be this brutal spy, not someone who gets dressed as a clown. It wasn't even that good of a joke, either it was a sign that the writers had started to run out of ideas, or that Roger Moore's goofiness got way out of hand. The fact that this came after his most traditional Bond film (''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'') made it hurt even more.
* WildMassGuessing: ''Film/Oldboy2003'' is a very dark film which I don't mind, apart from the scene when his love interest is in the toilet and he breaks down the door to attempt to rape her, and even though she stops him his actions are portrayed sympathetically and as an understandable result of him being locked up, which is wrong.
* Tropers/GeniusInTheLamp: The Joe Besser era is not looked too kindly upon by fans of Film/TheThreeStooges. However, a few of the Besser shorts (''A Merry Mix-Up'', ''Oil's Well That Ends Well'', ''Muscle Up a Little Closer'') have their merits. The same cannot be said for ''Horsing Around'', the tedious and unfunny sequel to ''Hoofs and Goofs''. It completely disregards the previous short's plot point that the boys' sister being a horse was AllJustADream. The plot centers around Moe, Larry, & Joe looking for the father of their "sister's" baby colt. The short suffers from an implausible plot, a nonexistent budget, stagnant pacing, and a complete lack of enthusiasm from everyone involved - even Emil Sitka uncharacteristically phones in his part. This and ''Sweet And Hot'' are regarded by Stooge fandom as the worst Stooge shorts, but at least ''Sweet And Hot'' is weird enough to be memorable (and to even fall at times into SoBadItsGood territory); ''Horsing Around'' doesn't even muster up the energy to reach that level.






* Tropers/{{DukeNukem4ever}}: ''Film/WarForThePlanetOfTheApes'' is a great movie. However, the treatment of the [[WoobieSpecies human race]] definitely reached the lowest point here. After being reduced to the separate settlements at the beginning of the [[Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes previous movie]], humans prove that both species are simply trying to survive, yet the creators of this movie try to portray [[DesignatedVillain most of them as evil]] simply because they are opposing the [[CreatorsPet apes]]. By the end of this movie, however, the whole humanity gets yet another kick in the balls - and in which way, you'd ask? [[spoiler: Simian Flu started spreading among them again! Moreover, it somehow takes away humans' ability to speak. Whenever it truly makes them feral (as the Colonel suggests) or not (Nova is a living evidence of sick humans who still have ability to do different tasks apes can't), the very idea of bringing it back in the first place was a ridiculous and cheap attempt to have a connection to the original 1968 movie in my opinion. Worse, unless you read the supplementary material for this movie (comics and prequel novelization), you will have no idea where the virus came from, when it started to spread or who was PatientZero.]] [[UnintentionallySympathetic It's hard to not feel bad for humans who are simply trying to do their best in order to survive and retain their ability to talk at the same time]], but for the sake of finishing them off, creators just made them act dumb and unrational for most of the movie (like the Colonel betraying the apes on the spot instead of being more pragmatic and saving them for last). The worst example here, however (and my [=DMoS=] in general), is when the Colonel, who is perfectly aware of the [[spoiler: infection spreading across America, [[DarthWiki/WhatAnIdiot takes Nova's doll (that might be contaminated) he's probably never seen before away from Caesar.]] [[TooDumbToLive With his bare hands, no less.]] Surprise, the next time we see him, the Colonel has been infected and rendered literally speechless from the same virus his entire compound had been trying so hard to avoid. Keep in mind that before the events of this movie he ordered to kill infected soldiers of his army and then burn their belongings to stop the spread of infection.]] Such an OutOfCharacterMoment felt really forced. I understand that this is Planet of the Apes franchise and that the apes' victory is a ForegoneConclusion, but it does not mean that humans should behave like complete idiots at the crucial moments.

* Tropers/{{Blazar}}: Now, I really liked ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. With the introduction of [[TokenMinority Darwin]], however, the first thing I thought was literally "BlackDudeDiesFirst." I was really hoping to be wrong about this, but guess what? He's Killed Off in the first confrontation, [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter without even getting to do anything important]], and the others (none of them racial minorities, with the possible exception of Mystique) immediately seem to forget that he was even there in the first place. And this from the film [[BrokenAesop purported to speak out against racism and bigotry]]!
** Tropers/LadyStardust: Nice to see i'm not alone. I thought this character was fascinating and to see him thrown away like that was very disappointing
** purplespooon: One of two characters in the whole franchise who should have been able to survive that, and he doesn't.
** Tropers/{{Tuomas}}: On top of BlackDudeDiesFirst, the movie ends with every female and/or non-white mutant on the side of the bad guys, while all the good mutants left are white men. Talk about UnfortunateImplications.
** Tropers/WRM5: While Darwin's death was definitely terrible, for me the worst part was the movie's portrayal of Beast. Beast was always one of my favorite X-Men because he was intelligent, patient, and one of the few mutants who was completely at peace with who and what he was despite also being one of the few mutants who could never pass for a normal human. So of course, I should love a movie where he's the exact opposite of that, right? Yeah, we get to see a self-loathing Beast so bad that he has to be lectured on being proud of who he is by Mystique of all people. (Also, really? Mystique is not the best advocate for "Mutant and proud." [[VoluntaryShapeshifting She can look however she wants.]] She never has to face anti-mutant prejudice unless she just wants to for some reason.) And instead of the brilliant Beast we all know we get a piss-poor scientist who's so stupid that his "mutant cure" actually accelerated the effects of his mutation! Seriously?! Little kids with Toys 'R' Us chemistry sets have better results than that! (Seriously, though, the stupidity of the "mutant cure exacerbates your mutations" thing can not be overstated. Pharmacology does not work that way - bad cures just don't work, or have side effects. They don't magically overclock what they're meant to fix, that would require an entirely different chemical compound, and the only way Beast could have accidentally done that is if he just had absolutely no idea what he was doing at all.) Maybe this is actually canon to how Beast was as a young man, I don't know. What I do know is it's freaking awful to watch.
** Ciel12: Another case of a [[BrokenAesop flawed message]] for me is how Charles behaves towards Mystique. She gets insecure and asks if he would date her in her natural form, blue skin and all. Instead of reassuring her, he instead gives a non specific response that she is worrying about her looks too much. Sure, he was probably being serious, but it comes off as though he genuinely doesn't like her blue form, and in him telling her to cover up her true self all the time it seems as though he agrees with the people who dislike mutants! Then by the end, he tells her that going with Eric is what she needs, and the whole thing comes off as 'Since your true form is blue and therefore you can't fit in if you decide to be yourself, you don't belong with the 'good mutants', as the good mutants agree with the notion that we should cover up our powers and not be proud of what we can do'. The whole thing comes off as confused in terms of its message, and when you combine it with Charles' 'They were just following orders' justification of the US and Russian navies trying to kill them at the end of the movie, which he says to ERIC, a Holocaust victim, I find it incredibly hard to believe the directors intend us to support Charles at all.
* [=DevNameless=]: OK, I know the handling of Wade Wilson in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' is kind of a low-hanging fruit that almost everyone loves to rag on, but I still feel like qualifying it for a DMOS, and I'm one of the people who actually kinda enjoys watching the film. In general, it's the fact that TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter to such an extreme extent that makes me feel like it's not a good moment. Before losing his mouth, Wade showed a lot of charm and really gave a very solid performance, so I figured they'd continue to go down that route when he went through his experiment and became Deadpool. I didn't even really care if they decided not to do any fourth-wall stuff, I just expected him to be witty and fun to listen to. It only seems natural I was disappointed that they took the "Mouth" from the "Merc with a Mouth". Taking away one of the stand-out aspects of a character that gives him so much of his appeal... that was just setting itself up for failure in all possible ways, and it only hurts more when they had done a pretty good job with him before all this. I'm definitely glad they learned from their mistakes and that Ryan Reynolds went on to bring a truly masterful version of Deadpool to the big screen (and get to poke fun at this while he was at it), but I still can't help but lament how this turned out.
* Souhiro: One has to go to [[TheFlash2023]] in the scene saving babies (And a dog) at an hospital. The SFX are cheap-looking, but the ice on the cake is comparing it with Quicksilver's scene in [[XMenApocalypse]] (That scene that is the pic image for the "Moment of Awesome" entry in that film) so when you lost to your main competitor, after seven long years, in the field of saving people with super-speed, you know that you hit rock bottom

* {{Tropers/mscc22}}: I was unlucky to discover ''Film/TheStrangeThingAboutTheJohnsons'' through Twitter because of the whole plot. Basically, the son has been raping the father since he was 12. One scene that does piss me off is when the son apparently busts down a door to get into the bathroom that his father is taking a bath in. Isaiah then proceeds to rape Sidney, and the scene cuts to the mother, Joan, not doing anything to help her husband. She just sits in her room mortified and just watching television. When it comes to molestation/rape, the bystander who just ignores it is just as bad as the abuser, so of course this would leave a horrible taste in my mouth.

* Tropers/MathsAngelicVersion: When it comes to Hallmark Channel's Christmas movies, they're usually guilty pleasures at best and [[SweetnessAversion sickeningly sweet]] at worst... and then there is ''A Gift of Miracles'', which outright infuriated me when it started pushing its "everything happens for a reason" [[AnAesop aesop]]. That message is already a PetPeeveTrope of mine, and this film's use of it is particularly gross because the fact that Darcy's mother was killed by a DrunkDriver when Darcy was an infant plays a big role in the story. Thus the "everything happens for a reason" moral just leads to a disgusting case of {{Glurge}} -- apparently some "greater power" decided it was necessary to kill an innocent woman in a senseless accident, leaving her husband widowed and forcing her daughter to grow up without her mother, just so that said daughter could eventually go on that "meaningful" quest to visit various people who knew her. Wonderful. Merry Christmas, everyone!

* Tropers/MathsAngelicVersion: ''Film/PayItForward'' was all right, at least until the ending ruined everything. [[spoiler:While trying to defend their victim, Trevor is suddenly killed by two bullies. [[KarmaHoudini They get away with it]]. It [[DiabolusExMachina comes from nowhere]] and [[BrokenAesop obliterates]] the [[AnAesop positive message]] the film would've had otherwise. Were the creators desperate enough for a TearJerker ending to ruin the inspirational message of spreading goodness, and replace with the AccidentalAesop "being good will get you killed needlessly"?]] All they accomplished was ticking me off and making me not want to touch the film ever again.

* Tropers/MathsAngelicVersion: I'm well aware I'm in the PeripheryHatedom -- I actively dislike {{horror}} stories and only looked into this one because morbid curiosity got the best of me -- but I want to get this off my chest: the ending to ''Film/DragMeToHell'' is [[spoiler:ridiculously mean-spirited, even by CruelTwistEnding standards. After all she's been through, Christine has finally freed herself of the curse, her incredibly supportive boyfriend is about to propose to her, and we are treated to a cute scene symbolizing a new beginning for the couple... except that the curse wasn't actually broken because there had been a stupid envelope mix-up, and she's DraggedOffToHell to be tortured for eternity even though she did nothing to remotely deserve such a harsh fate, and had showed that she had learned from her initial "sin". It also makes it feel misguided as a morality tale about greed -- heaping an extreme case of DisproportionateRetribution on someone for one fairly defensible act (why should Christine have given the old lady a third extension on her loan when there was no reason to believe she'd pay it back this time, and she had other options she was simply too proud go for?) just makes me feel bad for that person instead of functioning as a cautionary tale.]] All this proved to me is that I should continue my usual approach of not touching horror media with a ten-foot pole.

** emilethetemplar: I like the movie too but I'll never defend the moment where the butler reveal to Harry the way Norman Osborne died. Contrived doesn't even begin to cover it. Harry not knowing after all this time is completely illogical and make his entire subplot look stupid and pointless in hindsight. As a result, him coming to save Peter in the finale simply doesn't feel earned. Forget anything emo Peter did, this is the worst moment of the movie.

* Tropers/AlmightyKingPrawn: The scene in ''Film/ItsAVeryMerryMuppetChristmasMovie'' where Scooter, a character that is implied in other Muppet works to be in high school, is half-naked and cage dancing. I don't even think I need to explain what is wrong with that scene and how creepy it is. Even if he wasn't underage it would still be a horrifying, unfunny example of ParentalBonus gone wrong.

** fluffything: The fact that Zilla was killed by freakin' missiles is what made me say "Fuck this movie". What's worse is how he's killed by missiles. He doesn't go down fighting like Film/KingKong or his far-better Japanese counterpart. Oh, no. Instead, he gets tangled up in the wires of the Brooklyn Bridge (Which by the way, is a suspension bridge and should've collapsed when the wires snapped) while the Air Force pretty much blast the shit out of him. That's right, the film pretty much turns the climax into an inverse CurbStompBattle in which the giant monster is the one who gets pwned. This and the previously mentioned "Pregnant Iguana" aspect of the movie are why [[FanNickname GINO]] is the ultimate example of CharacterDerailment in any film. This movie doesn't [[InNameOnly deserve to be called "Godzilla"]] by any stretch of the imagination.

* Tropers/X2X: In ''Film/TheVillage'', yet another Creator/MNightShyamalan [[SarcasmMode classic]], we had the obligatory TwistEnding. [[spoiler:The eponymous village is not set in 1897, but was actually founded during in the late 1970s and is essentially a human wildlife reserve/science observatory plant. The female lead learns this when one member of the community falls ill and requires medical aid that is only found in the modern-day society]]. Fittingly enough, this movie is almost unanimously hailed as the point where his movies were thrust into third gear... right into the realm of suck. [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken What a tweeeest]], indeed.

** Erwin: It was at least a missed opportunity to introduce the Golgathan by saying Azrael "called in the [[IncrediblyLamePun Calvary]]."

* Tropers/DannyLilithborne: ''Film/LadyInTheWater'' was [[IncrediblyLamepun treading water]], but I was along for the ride for awhile. I could even tolerate [[MartyStu the director being a main character in the story]]. But then... a kid reads plot-oriented messages from the backs of cereal boxes. Judging from the expression on the faces of everyone I saw leave the theater, I think the cheated feeling was mutual.

But it gets better! Now that technology is gone, Andy says that life is now simpler, and Gary King is looking to restore human civilization through a new movement to be "The King". Did none of the creators of this movie ever watch films like ''Film/TheDayAfter'' or ''Film/{{Threads}}''? The fact that the alien pulse has wiped out their technology would also mean that it would have destroyed most of its infrastructure as well. And as with many poorly written apocalyptic disaster movies, this issue seems to be almost completely overlooked, as Andy only mentioned how a few people that weren’t converted into blanks lost their lives after the great pulse. Realistically, it is entirely possible that more people were wiped out by exposure/starvation than were simply mulched and replaced with blanks, and Gary and his posse were essentially partly to blame for this! Not because the whole blank program was something humans would have wanted to begin with, but because most humans didn’t even need to be replaced, as the infrastructure was keeping them alive and well, to begin with. And what makes it even worse, is that in spite of the title, the ending just doesn't work as an endpoint to justify any of the film's themes or messages because of the sole reason that it was not properly built up at any point in the film and winds up being a nearly literal last-minute [[IncrediblyLamePun Shocking Swerve]] that happens directly ''after'' the film's climax. There was no need to literally bring TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt if the blank invasion meant the end of humanity all by itself, and in fact rather than just having the aliens take away their blank production facilities and leave humanity to its own devices in an uncertain future, what happens instead winds up invalidating Gary's awesome ''ScrewDestiny'' maneuver of defiance that he carried with him all throughout the film!\\

** Tropers/TheMasterChand: The sequel, ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters'' is a massive improvement in many respects that I personally really like. So it's painful for me to do this, but the part where Vivian Graham is eaten by King Ghidora is just sadistic and unnecessary. We know Ghidora is an evil, irredeemable monster who lives for the killing, the rest of the movie, as well as his status in the franchise in general, make this ''very clear''. Having a well developed, sympathetic character die in agony and become King Ghidora's crap was not going to add to that in any way. All it did, was put a damper on an otherwise spectacular film. In fact, every single time, without fail, that I consider whether I'm going to watch this film, and decide not to, this scene is the exact reason, 100% of the time.

** Tropers/DrZulu2010: Having seen this movie when it comes up, I got this to say: It's filled with subplots that went nowhere; the most infamous of them being Belle the inventor. Basically, Belle made a washing machine that got destroyed by the villagers as a way to make Belle more ahead of her time. The problem, however, is that her inventor skills ended up having no payoff. Did the crew don't know how settings work? Why making her an inventor when it adds nothing to her character except... wokeness? And, as a Brucie Bonus, that one guy who said "Isn't one [girl who reads] enough?" in a time period where girls reading books and magazine for girls are prevalent is another example of Disney being woke without thinking for how it organically fits into the story.

* [=Loekman3=]: In the live-action movie of ''Film/{{Tekken}}'', during the segments before Jun's death, Jin is shown to be making out with his girlfriend Kara, sure it is completely different than the [[ChasteHero Jin]] we know but I suppose I can tolerate that. But my real DMOS is when he woos Christie and he suddenly decided to make out with her at the nightclub dance, effectively cheating on Kara who Jin never thought about again in the later parts of the movie. This is a massive Main/ProtagonistCenteredMorality regarding him cause not only did [[KarmaHoudini he gets away with this act of adultery]] but also it portrays as if rape and assault is wrong while cheating and adultery is A-okay.

* Sophie1322: The moment in ''Film/DarkShadows'' where Barnabas murders a bunch of hippies for absolutely no good reason at all. Now, to be clear, Barnabas was never the nicest of protagonists - he's killed innocent people before without being fazed by it in the slightest. But at least those murders were somewhat justifiable by extreme bloodlust. There is absolutely no excuse for this. Barnabas had been around humans for a while without harming anyone, and had plenty of opportunities to find safe alternatives for human blood, which he never once considers. He didn't even lose control, he calmly told them he was going to kill them all before doing so. I know that hippies are AcceptableTargets, but even these ones weren't portrayed as being bad people. On top of all that, it's PlayedForLaughs, and could have easily been removed from the film without affecting the story too much. After this scene, I found it completely impossible to like Barnabas.

* [=DoctorWTF=]: ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' might not have all the charm of its [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory 1971 predecessor]], but overall it's a respectable movie. That is, except for the subplot with Wonka's FantasyForbiddingFather Wilbur. Plenty of viewers have complained about the film giving a backstory to a character who really didn't need one, but the true Dethroning Moment is the conversation with Charlie where Wonka disparages the very notion of family (referring to his experience with his father), and Charlie replies with "Usually they're just trying to protect you, because they love you." First, it's a blatant BrokenAesop -- in the flashback scenes, it's painfully obvious that Wilbur is more interested in berating his son for liking something he dislikes than protecting him from anything. Second, the line is delivered in the same "pretentious purveyor of wisdom" tone as Charlie's earlier line "Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy." Put those things together, and you have (at best) borderline {{Glurge}}.

* Tropers/{{Kitchen90}}: ''Film/PitchPerfect'' had the scene in which Beca is caught singing as she prepares for her shower by one of the head runners of the Bellas, and that disgusted me to the point [[BrainBleach of wanting to shower myself]]. I just found it awkward, and just couldn't believe that this was {{played for laughs}} -- the way that Beca obviously looks uncomfortable with Chloe standing there staring at her, [[SlasherSmile the smug grin Chloe gives]] her when she finds Beca's singing good enough to be in the Bellas group, and then the pair of them caught naked in the cubicle by a male student. I didn't laugh at all at any part of it, especially at the implication of Chloe liking to [[ADateWithRosiePalms pleasure herself]] to the David Guetta hit tune "Titanium", which just made the scene entirely gross and stalkerish. Seriously, it sounded like Chloe was bragging about that rather intimate detail, making me glad that worse things didn't happen in that scene, and practically thanked God when it vanished from the screen.
