So, with that in mind, here are just a few of the most popular responses shared:
1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)
"The red room fight scene is possibly my favorite fight in a Star Wars movie. Rest of the movie was whatever, and Laura Dern continues to be foxy as hell, but the red room fight was amazing."
"I didn't hate the movie, but the opening montage set to 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' is head and shoulders above the rest of the film."
"Godzilla's introduction in New York. It's the scene that comes the closest to being what the movie promised us: a movie about a giant monster destroying things. We actually see him destroying several things (something we don't see much afterwards). Some of the shots — like the bridge at the lake being destroyed and the reporters all bringing down their umbrellas to look up — look cool, even if the CGI hasn't entirely held up, and the music works well with it. Shame about the rest of the movie, but that scene was admittedly fun!"
4. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
"The opening scene with the ground-level perspective of Bruce Wayne during the destructive climactic battle from Man of Steel, which was recreated between Superman and Zod."
5. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
"I fucking love the T-Rex in San Diego scene."
"Samuel L. Jackson getting suddenly eaten."
"When we first see construction workers walking off the top of the building from below. A very cool, creepy shot."
8. X2: X-Men United (2003)
"The opening scene when Night Crawler is trying to kill the president. That scene was awesome; the rest of the movie was average at best."
"When Bruce Willis sacrificed himself, even though Ben Affleck pulled the short straw."
"There's a really impressive transition when Catwoman robs the jewelry store, and the broken glass transitions super smoothly into the stolen necklace. I hate how good that transition is."
11. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
"The 'riddles in the dark' scene is one of the best in all of the Lord of the Rings franchise, and it came from The Hobbit trilogy."
12. Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
"The ending. Not exactly a terrible movie, but it fell way below my expectations."
"Unpopular opinion here, but my answer is the talk show scene between Phoenix and De Niro. Other than their performances in general, it's the only scene that really stood out to me in that movie."
14. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
"The Logan and Victor fighting through America’s wars montage."
15. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
"I went in blind, and from the opening scene alone, I was like, 'Wow, I picked a winner!' And then, the rest of the movie happened."
"Dreadful film except for the initial bombing and battle scene, which I think is just phenomenal, warts and all."
18. Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace (1999)
"People hate on this movie, but that Darth Maul battle? Can't hate that."
19. Southland Tales (2006)
"That movie is like, 'What if all these good scenes made a bad movie?'"
