13 Movies that have an important or climactic scene that falls short of satisfying (Explain why it fell short to you and Post Scene):

1. Creed II (Rocky comes face to face with Drago after so many years. The emotions were not as high as I expected. I wanted that scene to punch me right in the gut, but it didn't)
2. The Dark Knight Returns ("I came here to stop you" is such a dud of a line)
3. No Country for Old Men (After everything Anton Chigur did in this movie, he gets to just buy a shirt from a kid and walk away? Seriously?)
4. War of the Worlds (2005) (After all the death and destruction in the movie and getting separated from their son and brother during the final act, Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning finally get back home to find the son and the rest of their family perfectly safe)
5. Batman V. Superman (I never liked the film to begin with, but the one scene where Batman and Superman finally have their ultimate showdown, the fight ends just because of the name "Martha". Lame)
6. The Departed (him being shot comes across less like the ultimate punishment and more like him being conveniently put out of his misery, which stands in stark contrast to the same character being left alive to think on his sins in*Infernal Affairs)
7. Problem Child (Two words: Chekhov's prune)
8. Titanic (Not only the fact that Rose easily could have made Jack room on that door but that Rose lied to all those people about that neckace)

13 The Last Jedi (While it is my favourite of the new Star Wars movies, Luke’s death was just unsatisfying)
