Good movies with bad scenes

    I was just thinking what movies we love have a terrible scene/s that just does not match the quality of the film. Maybe its the acting or the special effects or that it just does not fit into the tone/narrative of the movie.

    The reason i was thinking this was I just watched the Matrix again recently. A movie I always loved. Its special effects at the time where ground breaking but I always remember thinking ( from first viewing) that the effect with trinity flying like superman through the window was dreadful. It seemed like an effect from a movie 10 to 15 years previous. Also the part when Tank took out Cypher was terrible acting. The guy who played tank even thought that acting like you spit meant pretending to spit (he was dreadful throughout) Not that the matrix was known for its acting but that scene seemed really bad in comparison.

    Im sure there are better examples out there but that was just the film that got me thinking about making the thread.

    There's a good few cringey moments in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I do love the movies, but I could have done without:

    Legolas and his stunt work (skating down the steps in Helm's Deep in TTT and on to the Oliphant in RotK).

    Legolas and Gimli's sparing on their kill count

    Aragorn's tumble off the cliff and return to Helm's Deep

    The Dead's attack at Gondor.

    Aragorn and Arwen's soppy kiss when they meet at the end of RotK.

    Not to mention the multiple endings.

    Honestly, I do like the movies, though the above may not seem like I do.
