Dumbest scenes in movies

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Sorry friend. I thought the thread was dumb scenes in movies. I wasn’t taking gravity fields into consideration when I posted that I thought it was just dumb. If we’re now expected to dissect the scene before posting then so be it, I’ll consider that next time.
To be fair, I think he might have actually stolen the idea of ships hovering above cities from the original television series ‘V’ (not the piss poor remake) which showed ships over the major cities of the world and Emirrich just made them bigger as his want.
But thank you for putting me straight, I’ll ensure forum etiquette is followed from now on and that only factual, truthful posts that can be backed up with science are posted

I always said the same thing! I’m just glad the the mothership was Apple compatible or else they’d be screwed.

Prometheus was good, except the donut scene.

very thoughtful responses from those who posted "whole movie". Keep 'em coming!
There's a scene in Saving Private Ryan where a soldier's helmet saves the man's life (or at least nicks it). Not satisfied with this and against all common sense, he takes off his helmet only to get shot in the head

Fuaaaark, I heard a podcast about the movie and imagined how bad it must be, these scenes are even better than expected.
What is that godawful accent, polish french with tryhard american?

There were a few scenes with Chaka the ape in Land of the Lost which involved his dick. I turned it off right after that. Stupid!

Neil Breen is a masterful artist, his visions and the product they are manifested in are far beyond of what your tiny little brain can comprehend.
He never acts a role, he acts life and celebrates it with his unsurpassable expressions.

Or the bit where he sees the cobra-like creature, and his first instinct is to try and pet it.
Alien Resurrection was dumb from start to finish, but the who is about to be chestbursted but it able to absorb dozens of bullets and kill the baddie with it takes the biscuit.
The ending of Fury is also pretty damn stupid for what is supposed to be a realistic film. Despite their tank being disabled they are able to take out hordes of SS who suddenly can't hit a stationary target, Brad Pitt finally dies when a grenade gets dropped through the hatch but suffers almost no physical damage, and then they let the last crew member go.

What's really bad for me is how pandering it is to Africa and Africans.
It's really a Afro-American view of Africa, you got a shallow veneer of African costume that mix and match a ton of very different cultures over a corporate American view of the world and the value the movie defends.
It has a good villain but that's about it.

He's not even a good villain. He's just a generic "boo hoo, my piece of shit traitorous dad got what he deserved and I don't like it" bad guy.

A fox sings a song about sodomy while a big hippo bitch goes postal with a machine gun.
It has been decades and this film still makes my brain feel like I took some hardcore hallucinogenic.

And the scene where they enter an unknown place and remove all their protective gear, and the scene where a guy got lost with a full 3d hologram map of the place and voice communication with people that could guide him step by step, and the scene where a couple of guys that were panicking at first seeing dead bodies but then actually thought it was a good idea to treat an alien unknown thing like a space cat and tried to pet it, and...
I actually could go on, but I think I made my point

Or once they get out, the only plan they can come up with is just charge straight at Bane's armed goons

Starting to think this is the worst thread on the forum, you guys could write for Cinema Sins
Most recent one for me was Wonder Woman '84:
The part in Egypt during the big road chase, down this one long narrow stretch of road, surrounded by an open desert, as they're also firing off AKs, handguns and even RPG's! And yet there was a bunch of kids playing football in the middle of the road that were completely oblivious to all of this and needed Diana to save them.

Dante's Peak had me shaking my head the whole time. Driving on lava, swimming in acid... this movie has it all.
Die Hard. I still hate that the escape van is clearly not in the truck when the gang arrives in it, but I think that's more of an oversight. But the whole premise of "we need to shoot rockets at tanks so the FBI will come and turn the electricity off" is super dumb and makes no sense. Does that building not have circuit breakers? And if they already are at a stage where they can comfortably drill on that company safe, couldn't they just drill some more? Or what about using a plasma cutter?

Are you guys seriously attacking Die Hard now? The "escape van" is an ambulance which they drive OUT OF the truck they came in. It's kinda clear why an ambulance would be LESS conspicuous in the aftermath of what they were doing, isn't it? The FBI isn't called in because of firing rockets at tanks, they're called in because it's a hostage situation, they knew they'd be called in and they knew the FBI playbook which involves cutting the power, however they wouldn't be able to enter a building as well defended as Naktatomi was to turn the power off which is why they needed to shut it down where they did. They made it clear the final lock was the real problem, an electric seal, earlier in the film and Gruber made it clear he had it covered.
