2017's summer of movies once again proved that blockbuster filmmaking is a magnet for poor creative decisions, counter-intuitive to the idea of making money or, indeed, good art.

For every entertaining tentpole released this past summer, there were several braindead movies that made mind-bogglingly, head-smackingly bad choices, resulting in infamous scenes that won't be forgotten anytime soon...for the wrong reasons.
