Mine was the heads of state videolink snap vote wIth the Russian obviously voting for first strike against the orb.
They did soften it with the US vote after but it was too late by then i'd already cringed my pants.

There were definitely other contenders but cant remember them now

Also, any scene Thor's brother showed up pretending to act. Just cruelly bad.

The whole movie made me cringe. One of the worst movies i've ever seen.

The whole movie made me cringe.

So true.

One of the worst parts is when Jeff Goldblum's old Jewish stereotype father has somehow managed to drive a school bus full of kids right to the spot in the desert where the final showdown is taking place. When he spots his son he gets out and starts doing the tired old 'what, you never call, your mother worries, etc.' shtick, totally oblivious to the huge *beep* alien spaceship hovering in the sky. I hate when movies do that.

And yeah, every moment Hemsworth the douche is on-screen.

'Karate? The Dane Cook of martial arts?'

All the scenes featuring Patricia Whitmore and her fiance. They looked like they had about as much chemistry as an eggplant and a banana.

His line "I got you babe" or something like that at the end made me physically cringe.

What is that thing you're using?.... It's technical.

Everyone competing to kill themselves so they don't survive the movie as non-heroes and reserve characters for the sequel.

All the movie, as it clearly piles up all the cliches you'd expect.
"What about a Lady President? that'd be awesome considering...!!!" check
"What about gay males, they're so trendy" check
"Lovely grieving kids to make the audience aawww?" check
"Surviving dog? we always have one, people like it" check
"Motivating "we are the world" speeches?" check
"Lets put on some foreign hero, why not some good-looking 20 year old chinese woman?" check
"Don't forget Africans! with machetes!" check
Etc etc.

Nicely said bro. This whole movie is an "American is Great" propaganda just like the one from 1996. I don't understand why do they need to put "super attractive chinese woman" there, which should be a model instead of an aircraft pilot. Fan service?

The pilots - they looked like the puppet pilots from the Southpark movie. Actually, the puppet pilots showed more human emotion.

There were so many it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

But the CGI Robert Loggia comes to mind as he was (when alive) a great actor. :D

Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement... Listen, kid, we're all in it together.
