People Are Sharing The Movie Scenes They Love Despite Not Liking The Movie Itself

"I HATE Avengers: Endgame. However, the portals scene was awesome."

Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share a scene they love from a movie they don't like. The results convinced me that any movie can deliver at least ONE good scene, regardless of people's tastes:

1. "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a very average film, but the podracing scenes are amazing. It stands out so much from the rest of the film."

2. "This is an opinion. I don’t need anyone coming for me, and you will not change my mind. I HATE Avengers: Endgame. However, the portals scene was awesome."

3. "I didn't dislike Barbie, but I didn't think it was nearly as feminist as everyone made it out to be. The depictions of patriarchy seemed superficial and didn't properly illustrate its most vile and harmful manifestations. That said, America Ferrara's speech about being a woman today is spot on. It's as if she articulated what we've all thought for so long."

7. "I don't HATE the movie, but Thor: The Dark World was one of the more mediocre Marvel movies. The scene where Loki and Thor discuss their mother's death while Loki is in a cell is one of my favorite scenes in the franchise. Loki has an illusion at first, but when he drops it, he shows that the loss of his mother destroys him. It's a really strong performance by Tom Hiddleston, who is buried in a forgettable movie."

8. "The new West Side Story is too sad for my taste and was a lot for me to follow. The ignorance and spite that got like five people killed in one night was not fun to watch. Still, I loved the opening and school dance scenes because of the dancing. That might be some of the best dancing I’ve seen in any movie."

9. "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 was okay. I feel like that series suffered from the law of diminishing returns. But the scene after Katniss sings 'Hanging Tree' with that group's suicide mission to blow up the hydroelectric dam was really powerful."

10. "The scene in Nope when Daniel Kaluuya starts to get out of his truck, looks up, and goes, 'Nope!' Hilarious! Made the whole movie."

12. "Deep Blue Sea is a 'so bad it's good' film with a ridiculous premise, shaky effects, and some suspect acting, but it has two great scenes. The first is the shark approaching the window with the poor guy on the stretcher as it starts breaking the glass. 'Will somebody please tell me what that is…' It's exactly what we all think. Then the second is the completely unexpected death of Samuel L Jackson's character. The effects are awful, but absolutely no one sees it coming as you assume his character will make it through to the end because of his name."

13. "I wasn't a fan of Rambo: First Blood, but his monologue at the end of the movie where he's talking about the war and all of the effects had me crying."

Sylvester Stallone, drenched in sweat, grimaces and holds his head in a dramatic scene

14. "I love the Harley Quinn rampage in The Suicide Squad (2021), but the movie is awful. That scene was at least fun and artistic."

16. "I hate Coyote Ugly because I can't stand the bar owner and the mess Violet gets into because of her. But I LOVE the scene where Violet performs 'Can't Fight the Moonlight' near the end because I love to sing along to that song."

17. "The ending of Grave Encounters. As a lover of found footage, nearly everyone I talked to about movies and every article I read highly recommended this movie and having seen it, I don't begin to understand the hype. The writing is bad on several levels. The 'found footage' angle is inconsistent, the special effects are cheap, and the characters are grating, obnoxious caricatures. But the scene toward the end where Lance kills and eats a rat has always stuck with me. It's shot interestingly. Thankfully, it has no godawful dialogue to ruin the tension, and it does a really good job showing the kind of manic desperation he'd be experiencing at that point."

18. "The movie Under Paris was terrible for about the first three quarters of the film. Bad acting, mediocre CGI, cliché or ridiculous plot, etc. Then comes the final scene in the movie's last 25-30 minutes, which is absolutely bonkers in the best way possible. If you can get through the mediocre mess that is most of the film, the final scene makes up for it and more."

19. "I really, really disliked The Hateful Eight. The pacing was weird. It was a little long, and the violence was not my thing. That being said, I enjoyed the flashback scene where Daisy Domergue’s group comes to Millie’s place. The acting was fun, and the introduction was interesting. The guitar scene is a close second. The rest of the movie…not worth it."

I was shocked people didn't like some of these movies, but it's all good. I'm sure there's a movie you don't like but can admit has a great scene. Tell me in the comments below!
