Scenes you liked, in movies that you didn't.

I didn't like the Hunger Games. I still don't. However, I won't lie that I got JUST A BIT misty-eyed when

Spoiler: Tagging just in case

Rue died. Well, there goes the best character... -waves-

I HATED the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street but I LOVED Jackie Earle Haley in it. I love that man and I wish the movie itself could hold up without his performance as a crutch. It's hard to pick a scene when he's really not in that much of the movie but eeeh

Thirdly, -insert a bad movie that Ron Perlman's in that he's great in but everything else is crappy here-.

Into the Woods

Meryl Streep is [I/]basically[/I] rapping the story of Rapunzel

[spoiler/][/spoiler]

whooooooaaaa I feel like I'm having some kind of acid trip

The movie Equilibrium bored me to tears but I loved the final fight scene.

I don't dislike equilibrium, it veers into guilty pleasure terratory (the worst I can say about is its got quite a few inconsistencies and was dumb at times....the ACTUAL mona lisa?...really?)

but I loved the scene where he wakes up from a dream for the first time and the one where he drops the snowglobe

in fact I love the score and the catholic motif they had going on

Ed Helms singing Allentown in the Hangover 2. The rest of the movie is completely useless and redundant if you've seen the first one.

 

[Little Woodsman]

House 2 the Second Story was awful but from the moment the character Bill Towners enters until he leaves is pure gold...

(sorry, couldn't find a clip of his whole time on the show, but this gives you an idea....)

I've rented the movie multiple times just to show people his fifteen-minute segment. Should probably just buy it...

Sleep With Me is a fairly 'meh' movie.

Listening to Quentin Tarantino go off about how Top Gun is actually about one man coming to terms with his homosexuality, on the other hand, is pretty damn funny.

I watched The Thief and The Cobbler as an admirer of animation but I have to admit, as impressive as the technical aspect of it may be, its effect sort of wears off after a while. Still, if it lacks in pacing it certainly has no shortage of style. Here's a scene from fairly early on, before it started to bore me.

Please tell me you've at least watched the recobbled edition. It still may be 0% story and 100% animation but it's a hell of an improvement over the bastardized version they released.

Actually I watched Richard Williams' original workprint.

Gamer is a pretty bad movie but this scene is great.
Michael C. Hall is basically mind controlling a bunch of death row convicts and using them to fight Gerard Butler:

Ah yeah, that scene inspired a mind controlling mutant character I played once on a website. He was a follower of Magneto's teachings, and felt that they should embrace their powers, not hide them to fit in with the normals. I was going to have him eventually go bad, and have a group of minions that he controlled in fights. And I was going to have him come in singing that song, having them dance. Because he was just that kind of over the top guy. xD


And since others have mentioned Twilight, I have to mention my favorite scene from BD Part 2. Michael Sheen's laugh.

It's just so....wonderful. I burst out laughing in the theater when it happened.

I thought the 'Robocop' reboot was awful, but that scene where the Doctor takes off Murphy's cybernetic parts and shows him that he's basically nothing more now than a pair of lungs, a heart, and a brain. I'll admit, that scene totally floored me, and it achieved something the older one couldn't quite do thanks to the limits of special effects (emphasize that he's not a man in a suit, and that he's essentially a machine).

The final scene in "Cabin Fever". I thought this movie was terrible, but I doubled over in the laughter at the final "my niggas!" scene. I completely didn't see it coming and it was hysterical.

'Eraser' was pretty bad, but pretty much any of the scenes involving the Railguns were great. And I give credit where credit is due for the movie pretty much popularizing putting Railguns into shooters (along with the cool 'particle trail' effect).

'High Crimes'. It was this really forgettable Ashley Judd-Morgan Freeman murder mystery, about a woman whose husband is arrested years after his Military Service for committing war crimes, except the whole things looks like a giant set-up by the Military to cover up something they did, and he's innocent. Would be completely forgettable except...
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT SPOILER THING, SO SPOILER WARNING

At the end, you find out that, in fact, Judd's husband actually DID commit the war crimes and he was guilty the entire time, and the Military was actually correct and wasn't trying to cover up anything. Nothing mind blowing, but 99.99% of the time in movies like that, the Military or Government is a super-duper bad guy (or substitute "Big Evil Corporation" as well) and is trying to cover things up, so it was refreshing to have a movie that totally turned the cliché on its head.

There this crappy alien movie a while back called Skyline, nobody liked it
But the end was really fucking awesome, basically, the hero got killed, and his brain was relocated to a huge alien that apparently needed a human brain to function
Meanwhile, some aliens were examining his pregnant girlfriend, and then the huge alien with the hero's brain went berserk and started killing the aliens examining his girlfriend, then he showed his girlfriend that he was still himself, and the credits rolled while some images of him kicking more ass afterwards were shown

I don't remember absolutely anything about the movie but the end, and i usually prefer sad or ambiguous ends, but when your ending is as manly as that i can't complain

SNIP

Yeah I know, I just didn't think about High Crimes till afterwards, and I'm at work so I didn't have much time

And man, I remember 'Skyline' as being probably the most wasted potential of any alien invasion movie I've scene. The aliens and their ship designs were outstanding, but for some bizarre reason they opted to make the aliens essentially completely invincible. I don't mind a movie with an unhappy ending, but it takes away all suspense when there's literally nothing the humans can do to even fight back.

No worries, it happens. Cool hat.

The Dark Knight Rises wasn't terrible, but it was easily the weakest of the trilogy.

That being said, Batman and Bane's first fight was nothing short of absolutely brutal. It shows exactly just how massive the gap between them is, especially after Batman gets in quite a few hits with the massive hunk of meat just shrugging them off. I know Bane breaking Batman's back is iconic with him, but for me it'll be second to the bit where he smashes Batman's head so hard that there's a massive dent in his helmet. If you had told me that Batman was dead after that, I would've believed you. Just wonderfully dark.

The Amazing Spiderman 2, the car chase in the beginning. It's what made me so excited for the rest of the movie, I was at the edge of my seat until I realized TAS2 was actually a pretty mediocre movie. But everything about it is classic Spidey.

Yeah, I found that movie lame too, but I really did enjoy the scene when the cops charge in mass to reclaim Gotham. There was something satisfying about seeing all of them, recently freed, charging like ancient soldiers, yelling at the top of their lungs, to crash into the thugs, to fight for their city again. The only good bit in that whole movie sadly.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Bane beating the shit out of, and ultimately back-breaking, Batman in The Dark Knight Rises. I don?t know why, but that was pretty much the one thing I?d been hyping myself up for (even though Bat?s, like, my favourite superhero alongside Spidey).

Franklyn was an incoherent mess of a film, but I did like the scene where Eva Green?s character

Spoiler

tries to commit suicide for art.

As a big fan of the graphic novel, anytime I have to watch Watchmen?s film adaptation always leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth, and I?m constantly picking out things wrong with it. But I do love the Dr. Manhattan flashback scenes, blue dick and all.

Kill Bill Vol. 2 was majorly underwhelming in comparison to the first one, and even that wasn?t that good (even though I still enjoy it). But the scene of the Bride just plucking out Daryl Hannah?s eyeball and leaving while she just screams profanities on the ground is simply?golden.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I found Man of Steel to be a bit of a let down, but I'll liked a lot of the early scenes where Clark just does classic superman type shit. Pushing the schoolbus out of the river and the oil rig scene both stand out.
