TELL US NOW. ... Ryan А. wishes Once Upon A Time In Hollywood had ended differently. Chalk it up to Tarantino, he says. Loved the movie, but QT had to have his excessive violent ending, which totally ruined a really good movie. CRACKED.COM — Source

28

TELL US NOW. ... The curb-stomp scene in American History X is too much for Ryan В. Не calls it a great movie that I could never watch a second time because of the curb-stomping scene. May not be a bad scene but it causes me to run my tongue over my teeth to make sure they're OK whenever I think about it. CRACKED.COM — Source

TELL US NOW. ... Why did It: Chapter One make us watch the bathroom being cleaned? Matt В. says it's an incredible movie, but the bloody bathroom cleanup with a pop '80s backdrop is tonally and thematically out of left field. The scene had just been one of Beverly's most traumatic moments, but now it's played off as lighthearted summer fun. CRACKED.COM — Source

25

TELL US NOW. ... Rose's narration in Titanic was pointless and extra to Christian с. The movie could have begun where Jack wins the cruise tickets, skip the whooole-ass Robert Ballard Titanic Exploration, and just have it as a normal romantic movie-Robert, or Bob's, exploration only adds distractions to an otherwise wonderful story. CRACKED.COM — Source

24

TELL US NOW. ... The anal sex scene in Kingsman: Secret Service was cringe-worthy. It's probably meant to subvert some spy movie tropes, but it comes off as weird and tacked-on, for Anna H. It just felt so out of place and out of step with the rest of the otherwise amazing film. CRACKED.COM — Source

23

TELL US NOW. ... The rooftop scene in the 2002 Spider-Man was a snore for Robert E. Stopping the movie for an extended chunk of Green Goblin exposition was a miss in an otherwise decent film. The entire movie came to a screeching halt. CRACKED.COM — Source

22

TELL US NOW. ... The barrel riding sequence in The Hobbit was jarring, for Alex H. In The Desolation of Smaug, during the barrel riding sequence there are a few random moments that look like GoPro footage for no reason. They really throw me off from what is otherwise a really cool action sequence. CRACKED.COM — Source

21

TELL US NOW. ... Wow, that Martha scene in Batman v. Superman was a disaster. Where Bruce and Clark instantly bond over their mothers' shared first name? Chris L. calls it The one crap scene to top them all. No movie moment has ever made me cringe as hard. CRACKED.COM — Source

20

TELL US NOW. ... Anthony M. hated the Sy Snootles update in Return of the Jedi. Не calls it a horrible CGI scene forced into the beginning of a tense encounter in Jabba's Palace. It is especially jarring against the practical effects and makeup of the original scene. CRACKED.COM — Source

19

TELL US NOW. ... Davis В. says the dog costume scene in The Shining was pointless. Не calls it random furry porn with no context. Yes, it was in the book, but without any sort of setup, the scene was very much inserted into the movie like a donut into a CD drive. CRACKED.COM — Source

18

TELL US NOW. ... The sex scene in the Watchmen movie was literally laughable. When I saw it in theaters the entire audience burst into laughter when the song Hallelujah began playing, and it was totally unnecessary. It's gratuitous boob delivery without any of the post-sex discussion included in the original comic and just feels cheap and awkward. -Charlie W. CRACKED.COM — Source

17

TELL US NOW. ... Bucky's cheer in Captain America, The First Avenger was a clunker. Let's hear it for Captain America! After Steve leads the POWs out from behind enemy lines, Bucky says this line and it just seems fake and forced. Total immersion breaker. - Kenton P. CRACKED.COM — Source

16

TELL US NOW. ... The volleyball scene in Top Gun had Jeff M. checking his watch even more than Maverick. Не says it could've easily been replaced with 5 additional minutes of Tomcats doing badass shit. CRACKED.COM — Source

15

In Da Club by 50 Cent CRACKED.COM Look, mami, I got the X if you into ta- kin' drugs Who says taking drugs? This just makes him sound like a cop. — Source

14

Whenever, Wherever by Shakira GRACKED.COM Lucky that my breasts are small and humble/- So you don't confuse them with mountains Was that a risk? Also, are big boobs inherently proud? — Source

13

Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys CRACKED.COM She's just a girl/And she's on fire In case anyone wasn't sure based on the title of the song and the repeated refrain that this girl is on fire, Alicia Keys wants to make it very clear that there is a girl, and the girl is on fire. Honest- ly, we're not even mad. We just have a few more questions: Is she a girl? And is she on fire? — Source

12

S.E.X. by Nickelback CRACKED COM Sex is always the answer/It's never a question 'cause the an- swer's yes Chad Nickelback says a lot of weird things, but this is a straight-up contradic- tion. It's also something your teenage boyfriend would say to look cool. — Source

11

Vertigo by U2 CRACKED COM Uno, dos, tres, ca- torce! For the non-Spanish speakers, that's One, two, three, fourteen! It's dumb in any language. — Source

10

Complicated by Avril Lavigne CRACKED.COM Take off all your preppy clothes Ironi- cally, only complete dorks used preppy in a derogatory sense past, oh, about 1995. — Source

9

My Humps by Black Eyed Peas CRACKED COM Mix your milk with my cocoa puffs/Milky, milky cocoa It's clear what he's going for on a symbolic level, but it's also a visual no one wants. — Source

8

St. Anger by Metallica CRACKED.COM I'm madly in anger with you Aside from the fact that some middle-aged guy clearly thought he was very clever by flipping this particular script, that's not really how those words work. Maybe you're in hate, but this is like say- ing you're madly in horniness with someone. — Source

7

Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit CRACKED.COM I hope you know I pack a chainsaw 2000s tough guys had a weird habit of comically overselling their danger. Like, yeah, we would know if you packed a chain- saw, Mr. Durst. It would be extremely visible. — Source

6

Drops of Jupiter by Train CRACKED.COM Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken? One of these things is phil- osophically opposite of the others. There's also some- thing about a soy latte lat- er that we just can't even get into. — Source

5

She Bangs by Ricky Martin CRACKED COM She bangs, she bangs/Oh, baby, when she moves, she moves/l go crazy 'cause she looks like a flower but she stings like a bee/Like every girl in history We took a poll of the entire world, and no one knows what bangs is supposed to mean in this context. Also, there were surely some girls in history who looked like weeds and minded their own business. — Source

4

All Summer Long by Kid Rock CRACKED.COM We were trying different things/We were smoking funny things Не rhymed things with things! As if it wasn't bad enough that he ruined two great songs. — Source

3

Hey, Soul Sister by Train CRACKED.COM So gangsta, I'm so thug Honestly, Train's whole catalog is, well, a wreck, but no middle-aged white guy should be allowed to describe himself as thug unless he's literally Al Са- pone. — Source

2

All These Things That I've Done by the Killers CRACKED COM I got soul, but I'm not a soldier This song is ар- parently about former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield and his work mentoring vets. That doesn't make this line less stupid. — Source

1

Love the Way You Lie by Eminem ft. Rihanna CRACKED.COM Now you get to watch her leave out the win- dow/Guess that's why they call it window pane Yep, Eminem just dropped a dad joke in a song about do- mestic violence. — Source
