10 Exact Moments Fans Turned On HYPED Movies

1. Hallelujah - Watchmen

The grand daddy, the greatest to ever do it, the originator of this style.

If you're going to ruin a blockbuster, make sure you do it with an unforgettably cringeworthy, unintentionally funny scene that almost instantly becomes an iconic moment of cinematic disaster.

Zack Snyder's ambitious adaptation of Alan Moore's Watchmen can't be faulted for scope, and the movie has many admirable qualities. That said, the 2009 movie features a hilariously out of place extended sex scene set to, of all things, Leonard Cohen's gloomy Hallelujah.

The scene takes place immediately after one of the movie's goriest set pieces, naturally, and lasts longer than it has any right to, managing to dwell on the awkward fumbling reality of sex in super-suits for long enough to seem intentionally comical.

It's goofy, self serious, and tragically unsexy, and more than earned the number one spot here as this was the moment an entire generation of Watchmen fans realized this movie wasn't the treat they were expecting for, oh, just the last few decades.
