20 Recent Movie Moments EVERYONE Hated
These recent movie moments didn't go down well.
Even the greatest movie is far from perfect - sometimes, despite how great a film might be otherwise, there's a scene that just doesn't work at all.
And then there are those already-bad films which somehow sink even lower with an especially terrible scene you can scarcely believe made the final cut.
Regardless of how good or bad the rest of the movie was, then, these 20 recent films all served up a scene that just about everyone in the audience hated.
Perhaps it was a lazy plot twist, a dramatically unconvincing moment, a groan-worthy cameo, or a death scene that fell way short of the mark.
Whatever it was, these scenes were all widely complained about on social media, and in extreme cases are unfortunately what folks still remember most about the entire movie.
In others, it's thankfully only a regrettable moment from an otherwise good film, even if you're left wondering how things managed to go quite so south in a single sequence.
The lesson here? Filmmakers can never be sure which scenes will take hold in the public psyche, for better or worse...
20. The Killer Reveal - Scream 7
Scream 7 may have suffered through some serious developmental issues - namely the firing of Melissa Barrera and subsequent departure of Jenna Ortega - but at least there was hope it'd serve up another compelling murder-mystery.
Yet this sequel rocks the most resoundingly lame killer reveal and motive in the entire franchise to date.
We eventually learn that the lead Ghostface is Sidney's (Neve Campbell) neighbour Jessica Bowden (Anna Camp) - a Sidney fangirl who was inspired by Sid's autobiography to murder her abusive husband.
An obsessed Jessica was then disappointed that Sidney was absent from the events of Scream VI - get it? - and so conspired to kill Sid in front of her daughter Tatum (Isabel May), in turn making Tatum "the new Sidney."
Jessica's co-conspirator is Marco (Ethan Embry), an orderly at the local mental institution who used his computer knowledge to taunt Sid with AI deepfakes of former friends and foes such as Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard).
It's all incredibly groan-worthy and convoluted, and exactly what's to be expected when a sequel is rushed out the front door during a chaotic development process.
