10 Famous Movie Scenes That Viewers Found Repulsive

A moment that is overly sentimental or a romantic twist that has little to do with the main plot might destroy even a very outstanding movie. And occasionally, even in our favorite movies, this occurs. Moviegoers discussed which moments from films like Titanic or The Devil Wears Prada could have been easily cut, and they all agreed that doing so would have improved the films.
Indeed, some directors or actors decided to change the script for the better. It sometimes works and sometimes turns into a head-scratching failure. Despite efforts to improve the film, the filmmakers didn’t receive high praise from the audience. Below are 10 famous movie scenes that made them cringe. Let’s scroll down and check them out!

#1 Edge of Tomorrow

In this science fiction film concerning alien interference, Emily Blunt plays a powerful woman who isn't particularly into mushy things. But it appears that even she was susceptible to Tom Cruise's allure. Her character kisses him during the movie's conclusion, and many viewers are actually quite irritated by this kiss.
  • Emily Blunt initiates the kiss with Tom Cruise. Her character has known this guy for less than 24 hours. She is a hardened veteran. There is no way her character would do this.I would get it if he kissed her. They established that he had developed feelings for her, so him kissing her would make sense. But no, some idiot executive probably thought this great sci-fi movie needed some forced romance, and this unconvincing moment takes me out every time. © CosmoNewanda / Reddit

#2 Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Even Terminator, a robot from the future, is not perfect, so John Connor teaches T-800 how to high-five, use slang terms, and do other things to make him appear human. However, some viewers thought this funny show was improper.
  • The scene where John is teaching Terminator slang. It comes across as really cringeworthy and doesn’t fit the tone of the rest of the movie at all. © WillemDafoesHuge**** / Reddit

#3 The Devil Wears Prada

A renowned fashion magazine hires Anne Hathaway's character to start her career there. Although Andrea spends practically all of her time at work, her boyfriend Nate doesn't like it and constantly attempts to make her feel bad about it. Andrea still gives Nate a cupcake with a blazing candle but he just turns it down.
He was quite toxic in the eyes of many spectators. Nate seems to want his girlfriend's insecurities to continue and for her to disregard her goals.
  • The heroine’s boyfriend and friends are so grating and the way they make Andi feel bad for working for one year at this job drives me nuts. She certainly needed to be challenged for drinking the Kool-Aid a bit too much, but I think the film’s one mistake is that they are so grating and unlikable that you almost root for Andi to go to the “dark side.” © Mid-CenturyBoy / Reddit
  • The fact that Anne Hathaway’s character ends back up with her toxic boyfriend is the only thing holding it back. © HeHasBeautifulBones / Reddit

#4 Bullet Train

Brad Pitt's character speaks on the phone with his handler throughout the entire movie. Although we don't know who she is, the characters completely understand one another. But when the handler appears at the film's conclusion, several viewers weren't amused by Sandra Bullock's cameo. They believed it would have been wiser to allow some room for imagination and withhold her true identity.
  • I really hate the last 2 minutes of Bullet Train. I absolutely adore the movie up to that point, but the CGI at the end is so god awful I can barely look at it. And Bullock shouldn’t have made a physical appearance. © CrazyGoose712 / Reddit

#5 Wonder Woman

In the movie finale, Diana encounters her major enemy, Ares. The evil god invites her to join him and conquer the world. Diana, however, makes the decision to confront him. However, spectators thought that the decisive battle was unnecessary and extravagant.
  • I don’t know if it’s a perfect film, but I think it was about as perfect as you could expect from the genre. Then they just tossed the whole plot aside to have a big, unbearably terrible CGI fight scene. It was a truly awful way to end a movie and retroactively ruin any meaning from what was set up during the rest of the film. © Mononon / Reddit

#6 Titanic

Rose and Jack actually enjoy themselves at the party they elude to in third grade. Despite being from a different social circle, she gets along well with other passengers.
But she makes the decision to interrupt two wrestlers by saying, "Let's see if you can do this," and then she stands on her tiptoes. Some people were shocked by this scene since they thought Rose's actions were wrong.
  • That bit in Titanic when Rose interrupts the 2 guys arm wrestling and says she’s tougher and stands on her tippy toes. I’m not saying it’s not harder, but it’s a very cringeworthy scene. © effypom / Reddit

#7 Gangs of New York

Most people know Cameron Diaz from her humorous roles. Her acting in Charlie's Angels or The Holiday was excellent, in our opinion. Because of this, not all viewers found her appearance in this crime drama to be acceptable.

#8 Interstellar

To ensure that the tale was credible, the filmmakers of this science fiction film consulted with experts in the field. The statement made by Anne Hathaway's character that "love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space" was heavily condemned by the audience and may have been due to this. Many of them thought this scenario was overly flamboyant and romantic.
  • I didn’t pay much attention to these words the first time at the theater because I had fallen in love with this movie, but when I watched it again a few months later they were so cringeworthy. © lincruste / Reddit

#9 The Prestige

It's not the first time that movie director Christopher Nolan has taken the fall for poorly written female characters. And in the movie, this is precisely what occurred to the character played by Scarlett Johansson. Her protagonist frequently comes across as unconvincing despite her attractiveness and charisma.
  • I think Scarlett Johansson is ordinarily a good actress, but she sticks out pretty bad in The Prestige. © D****en_Vike / Reddit

#10 Speed

Sandra Bullock's Annie appears to control her emotions and the circumstances for almost the entire duration of the movie. However, Annie transforms into a typical "damsel in distress" in the film's climax and needs to be saved by Keanu Reeves' persona.
  • I knew in my heart that after being a total step-to-the-plate badass for the entire movie, they were going to have Annie do something stupid and banal. Sure enough, she steps out into the open, gets nabbed, and then gets put into a damsel-in-distress situation for Keanu to save. © Flahdagal / Reddit
