10 God-Awful Scenes In Otherwise Perfect Movies

While there is admittedly a lot of joy to be found in the never-ending stream of conclusions that bring Peter Jackson's Return of the King to its end, there is one moment most Lord of the Rings loyalists would all happily throw into the fires of Mount Doom that comes during those latter stages of the finale.

In the wake of Frodo and Sam being rescued by Gandalf and the eagles after finally destroying the One Ring, the Baggins hobbit wakes up in Minis Tirith and is reunited with the rest of the surviving Fellowship.

On paper, that sounds like a sweet enough reunion to add to the mix. But Jackson's call to have the entire thing play out as though everyone involved is glowing and moving in slo-motion can't help but make a potentially sincere moment of happiness feel unquestionably cheesy.

That and the weird echoey laughter accompanying the giddy bed-jumping, along with the likes of Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf's awkward staring at the reconnecting hobbits, all help cement this as one of the most uncomfortable moments of celebration you're ever likely to witness.
