I have seen a few movies where a particular scene/s has destroyed the whole movie for me These scenes can be either so predictable or just out of place from the rest of the movie.

Here are a few examples
*The very last scene of the movie Broken - I though was out of place from the rest of the story and it was only placed there for shock value.
*I also thought Gwyneth Paltrow's death in Seven was so predictable and destoryed the rest of Seven for me.

The "twist" in Gone Baby Gone when Morgan Freeman is revealed to have kidnapped the kid or whatever happened.

The last twenty minutes of Mystic River, involving the identity of the girl's killer.

Frieda Pinto running across half of India yet still making it to the phone on time in Slumdog Millionaire.

Wow. Spoilers much. Particularly Gone Baby Gone is really improper to post here.

The very final scene of 'Clubland' ('Introducing the Dwights' in America) was completely ridiculous and felt like it had been tacked on by the studio. It nearly ruined what had been a very smart, funny, touching and well-acted film.

The dream sequences at the end of 'Lilya 4-Ever' didn't work at all and detracted from what had been a powerfully earnest, harrowing film.

I love 'Atonement', but the scene where James McAvoy dreams that his mother is washing his feet just doesn't work at all.

I didn't reveal a spoiler. I just saved you two hours of your time. You should be thanking me.

I have seen the movie - you didn't ruin anything for me. Regardless, I believe there is a policy against spoilers here, and plenty of people may not have seen the movie. It is one that got fantastic reviews and to say you are going to ruin the movie for people to save them from it is ridiculous. I you won't change it, I certainly hope a moderator will.

Just another example of the nastiness that has taken over the discourse here over the last few months.

Y'all are starting to sound like a bunch of cry babies. I was going with the topic of this thread which, to me, means what scenes in movies have destroyed the whole movie for you, so I mentioned one. For a movie that was released in October 2007. For those of you who have not yet seen Gone Baby Gone, I am not apologizing. As for the supposed nastiness around here lately, who really cares? At least it's made for something interesting around here. You have to admit that these threads have been dull for quite a while now. Do I think I was being nasty. Absolutely not. But nor am I whining about it like others. Right now, if it weren't for my comments in this thread, this thread would be dead.

The sinking of the Titanic.

I did put the word "spoilers" in the thread title ........

The dance at the end credits of Slumdog Millionaire. WTF

The condom scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Too stupid.

The entirety of Slumdog Millionaire up until the dance scene

That makes it seem like the only thing you liked about the movie was the dance scene.

The only thing I *did* like about the movie was the dance scene.

Woah. Now we have people saying an entire movie ruined the entire movie for them? I'd never guess someone would've come up with that.

What? That was hilarious! The audience needed to see how clueless Andy was when it came to sex. I thought the condom scene perfectly showed that.

WATCHMEN: The mocking reference at the end to Ronald Reagan (my idol) as a cowboy aiming to be president. That one statement reduced my rating for the movie by a whole point.
