10 Incredible Action Scenes In Terrible Movies

10. The Forest Fight - Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

The second Transformers film might well be the most unbearable of the lot - a cluster migraine masquerading as a movie that's jam-packed with humour both embarrassing and offensive, way too much talking, and not nearly enough compelling action.

The single saving grace, though, comes at almost exactly the one-hour mark, when Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) battles the combined might of Autobots Megatron (Hugo Weaving), Starscream (Charlie Adler), and Grindor (Frank Welker).

The thrillingly kinetic fight kicks off in a gorgeous, remote forest, and as presented in a full-frame IMAX aspect ratio, delivers action with scale and clarity far in excess of anything else in the movie.

The visual effects hold up incredibly well to this very day, offering up a real sense of weight to the duelling bots and palpable fear that Optimus won't come out on top - as, eventually, he doesn't.

It's a sequence that proves what brilliance Michael Bay is capable of when the conditions are right, even if it's miserably plonked in the middle of an otherwise mind-numbingly awful movie.
