13 Awful Movies With 1 Awesome Scene

5. The Opening Credits - X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The Awful Movie: Wolverine's first solo adventure had so much promise, but aside from Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber's solid performances, this is a painfully generic superhero flick with howlingly bad CGI and a downright insulting third act which ruined the character of Deadpool until he was course-corrected earlier this year.

The Awesome Scene: The movie's opening credits show Wolverine and Sabretooth fighting side-by-side throughout the American Civil War, both World Wars, and the Vietnam War, in a superbly directed and edited series of action sequences.

It's easily the most imaginative scene in the entire movie, and only makes what follows feel even more mediocre by comparison. Honestly, a whole film focused on these two tearing up history would've made mad money.
