The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey -the riddle scene. Perfectly captures one of the most memorable parts of the book.
Damn tell us how you really feel! I like Starship Troopers. Not because I think it's a genuinly great film, but I enjoy the action and camp (plus the infamous shower scene). Michael Ironside is awesome as usual too.Silentpony said:The Klendathu Drop Massacre from Starship Troopers. Nothing screams popcorn munching happiness than young 20-somethings running headlong into the jaws of monstrous insect aliens and getting their legs chopped off before being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the darkness, begging for help, to be slowly devoured while their compadres fight on in blissful disregard.
The rest of the movie was an absolute shamble that made the critical and oddly common 90s mistake that Denise Richards should be wearing clothes and is here to act.
It was an odd time.
Actually, I remember seeing that in the theater, and thought the opening sequence, that news footage bit, was a pretty good introduction into the movie. Seeing our hero totally ripped apart, wondering if he was going to be dead by the time the flashback story caught up. But I totally agree, that drop sequence was pretty badass. The music, the massive forces swooping down on the planet. Good stuff, got a genuine thrill from that bit.Silentpony said:The Klendathu Drop Massacre from Starship Troopers.

I have the extended edition, and I'd say it is, overall, a bad or unsuccessful film - it just has a handful of great scenes in it. It seesaws back and forth between quality and hamfisted fluff (as writing, acting, score, the lot), which makes it an incredibly uneven watch. For me, Bloom and Kruger practically suck the life [and quality] out of the film whenever they're on screen, and even some of Bana's moments are either cringeworthy or just drag the pacing to a crawl (then again he shares a lot of scenes with Bloom, so it's not his fault, per se).Soviet Heavy said:The 2004 Troy isn't a bad movie per se, and the extended edition is definitely better.
It's a fine scene, and certainly one of those standouts. But I felt Pitt was perfect for the role, and turned in a great performance; vain, egoistic, bitter, yet in a way, naive, and trapped in a culture and a role he both loathes and cannot help but live. He's by far my favourite aspect of the film, and I'd have loved a story focused exclusively from his perspective.But hands down, the best scene in the film is this: / Seven minutes of runtime given to probably the most integral scene of the Iliad, Priam asking for Hector's body back. Brad Pitt is a mixed bag throughout the film, but goddamn Peter O'Toole fucking nails it as Priam.
Ohhh, I remember that movie. XD Yeah, the scene with the chef blowing up the kitchen to kill a shark was a fantastic scene in a mediocre movie.BuildsLegos said:All the action and suspense in Deep Blue Sea was fantastic, a shame it was tied together by such a shitty script.
See, I hated that scene. For me it was the usual super armored movie bat beating up thugs type scene. The one I really liked was the first one with bats and the cop. They actually made bats stealthy and move in a way that people would actually think he's not just a human with some armor. For me, that was the best scene in the whole film. I will say, in the scene you mention, his use of his grapple at the beginning was pretty great though. I wish they had done more with his gadgets and more with him being stealthy.Saltyk said:Damn it, OP. You stole my example. Honestly, that scene in the bar with Clark just taking the guy's abuse was one of the best scenes in any Superman movie. It's just ruined because it goes on like 5 seconds too long and has Clark crucify the truck because the guy was mean to him, ruining the whole scene.
Fine, in the spirit of DC movies, in BvS we get a great moment of Batman taking down an entire building of goons. It it great, probably one of the best Batman action scenes in film. Brutal, well filmed, and makes you feel like this is Batman. It's just too bad the rest of the film is terrible. Also, it is also kind of ruined by the fact that Batman is killing people in it, too. Just try to ignore that fact, I guess.
Damn it, DC! Why can't you let me like your movies?
ohh that is a good one! personally I enjoy the movie, but I can see why most people would think it's very meh.erttheking said:The movie I Robot was a enjoyable but rather mindless action flick, but there's one really good line when Will Smith is questioning the sentience of Sonny.
Spooner: "Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?"
Sunny: "Can you?"
