25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead

When the Lumiere brothers held the first commercial cinema screening in Paris almost 130 years ago, few could have imagined what an all-consuming monster it would become. With multi-million dollar stars' fees, billions in box office receipts, and an abundance of CGI effects. And popcorn, of course.

Cinema has become our constant companion, and even if you don't like it, you've probably watched a dozen or two movies in your life. But even in the most masterpieces or commercially successful films, there were still moments or lines when we wanted to get up and walk out of the theater. Or just turn off the TV - and never return to watching it again.

Basically every line uttered by Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen’s “love story” is top level cringe.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead In Avengers: Endgame, when Captain Marvel saves Spider-Man, "don't worry, she's got help". Then we cut to a shot of every single female superhero in the franchise judt standing there in the middle of a battle, and even Mantis is there even though she's not a fighter.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead Four Weddings and a Funeral

Andie McDowell’s line: “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed.” It’s also delivered so poorly and somehow completely captures what an awful actress she is in just a few seconds.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead I agree that Palpatine line is awful, but the line Jennifer Lawrence said in Dark Phoenix about calling the team X-Women was one of the most cringeworthy lines I’ve ever heard in a movie.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead Not only is this not the worst line in star wars, this isn't even the worst line in IX.

That award goes to "they sold you, to protect you".

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead Not a great movie anyway, but Uhura's fan dance to distract the bad guys in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is such a terrible moment. Villains easily distracted by women being seductive was already such a lazy cliche, and what are bad way to use Uhura. She already had to do something along those lines to that one dude in Trek III. The whole sequence is embarrassing.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead It's hard to top Palpatine's return, but these two lines always come to mind:

"It just grew an exoskeleton under its skin!" - The Predator. If only there was some word for a an exoskeleton that is inside you.

"There's only one way this ends, Kal. Either you die, or I do " - Man of Steel. General Zod can't count.

And yes, I know what both of these lines actually meant. They were written in a funny way.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead I *love* Annihilation, but when Natalie Portman is trying to convince JJL to let her go on the next mission, JJL says something like "A soldier scientist? You can fight...you can learn..." Yes, thank you, we all **know** what a soldier is and what a scientist is. You really don't need to spell out what each of those skill sets entail.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead I've said it before, but I can't stand in Justice League after the intense scene where Superman is brought back from the dead and then he and Lois are standing alone in a field together after their dramatic reunion (and of course he is shirtless but his pants are ok) and she says "You smell good." And then his even worse reply, "Did I not before?"

When my husband is channel surfing, he always manages to land right there and I end up yelling at the TV!

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead The Departed is one of my favorite movies of all time, but there’s a scene near the end of the movie that really annoys me.

Right after Matt Damon’s character shoots Jack Nicholson, there’s a scene of the entire police squad applauding Matt Damon. A secretary walks up to Matt Damon and hands him a cup of coffee which Matt Damon replies “thank you”. The secretary replies “No… Thank YOU” in possibly the cheesiest way it could be delivered.

Again, the Departed is one of my favorite movies of all time, but this scene is just soooo corny and doesn’t fit into a script that I think is so we’ll written.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead Thor arriving in Wakanda in Infinity War with Stormbreaker is one of my all time favorite scenes in all of the MCU. But when Banner say's, "you guys are so screwed now" it is just so jarring and takes me out of the scene. I wish there was a cut that would take his line out.

25 Movie Scenes That Were Supposed To Be Cool But Ended Up As Pure Cringe Instead Volcano (1997) wasn't a great movie to begin with, but there is one scene where a rescuer is helping a child find his mom. The camera shows a multicultural assortment of people all covered in ash, and the child says "Look at their faces. They all look the same." There were no racial themes throughout the rest of the movie, so the cringeworthy heavy-handedness came totally out of nowhere.

After many years of working as sports journalist and trivia game author and host in Ukraine I joined Bored Panda as a content creator. I do love writing stories and I sincerely believe - there's no dull plots at all. Like a great Italian composer Joaquino Rossini once told: "Give me a police protocol - and I'll make an opera out of it!"
