Now obviously something like this is completely subjective and we will hardly expose the "worst scene in CBM history" with this poll of 10 but hey, I needed a title! Plus I chose a handful of the scenes that people generally complain about the most. Some I don't even think are that bad! But I know many of you do. So, here is the list. I've added the proper vids where I could, but you will have to make do with crappy shaky ones and the movie's trailers in some cases. OK?
1) Superman lifts a Kryptonite Continent in Superman Returns
I don't see too much wrong with this. I'm not going to get into why again(read
This if you're curious) but it has to be on the list due to causing such a stir here on CBM when anyone so much as mentions it!
2)
The "Emo Dance" in Spider-man 3 Another scene I really don't think is too bad and actually found quite amusing. But I guess I can understand why Spidey fans covered their eyes in despair as Peter Parker(Tobey Maguire) cuts a rug down the street, pointing at the ladies to the strains of James Brown.
3)
Enter Barakapool in X-Men Origins : Wolverine Remember how you felt when the doors opened to reveal The Merc With A Mouth..mouthless, with added arm swords? Not a terrible scene for non comic book fans perhaps, but dammit it had to be on this list.
4)
The playground fight scene in Daredevil Matt Murdock(Ben Affleck) and Elektra(Jennifer Garner) have a flirt fight in a playground while kids cheer them on. This is a real howler. It really belongs in a different movie and is by far the worst thing in an otherwise underrated flick.
5)
Final fight with Whiplash in Iron Man 2 Ok, I know some of you will object to this but I hate this scene and it's going on the list. Stark(Robert Downey Jr) and Rhodey(Don Cheadle) destroy a load of drones with ease. But then it's on to the big showdown, the epic clash, the life or death..so yeah Whiplash shows up and they dispatch him even quicker. Awesome.
6)
The super-hero sex scene in Watchmen Now I love this movie, it's one of my favorites. But there is no denying that this cringy, gratuitous sex scene set to Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is a bit of a strange one. Put it this way, I tend to skip past this when watching. And it's got boobs in it.
7)
"Throwing the S" In Superman 2 Again, not one that bothers me particularly but it seems to rile up a few of you so it's on the list.
8)
"Call me...COMMANDER" in Gi Joe: Rise Of Cobra Lets face it, you could almost put any scene from this movie on the list but this one really cracked me up. In fact, I'm pretty sure every single person in the theater I saw this in laughed their asses off.
9)
Cloud Galactus in Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer Another one that perhaps wouldn't really bother a non comic book reader, but [frick] it, I hate both the
FF movies so it's going on. In the climax of this, admittedly superior, sequel to
fantastic Four the all powerful Galactus shows up as a cloud. Now, I realize that having him exactly as he appears in the comics might have looked a bit silly, but a cloud? Tut tut.
10)
Devastator's balls in Transformers: ROTF Another one that's pretty much shooting fish in a barrel as to which scene to use but out of all of the juvenile nonsense in Michael bay's splosion fest this one was just so out of place and so ill timed that it makes the cut.
And that's it. I'm well aware that I have left out some horrible scenes and some horrible movies(
Batman & Robin, Catwoman etc), but could you really single out just one part of those movies to focus on? Anyway, if you think I've omitted anything significant let me know in the comments section. Now, vote away!
