This probably isn't fair, because I do like The Mandalorian. It was always fun.
But the season 2 finale, The Rescue, when everyone is pinned down and waiting to die, and Luke fricking Skywalker comes and wrecks shop to save the day- that was incredible.
Yeah, I know, not the smoothest digital reconstruction of his face when talking; I don't care. They did it as right as could be done; all the teases:
-"One X Wing? Yay, we're saved"
- That first camera shot, of the gloved hand, then the green lightsaber ignites
- "is that a ... Jedi?"
- the hooded figure just rolling through the Death Troopers, with the music playing
- then he Force-chokes (crushes actually) one of the Death Troopers

That scene still gives me chills, far beyond what that show should illicit.

I'll both agree with this while at the same time saying that Hudson Hawk got a bad rap and is actually a solid farcical comedy.

Was that the movie where everyone is killed on the dance floor by a wire shooting across it?

Every fan in that reaction video should be ashamed of themselves for crying over a CGI Luke Skywalker.

Agree. It was obvious from the very first scene with DaVinci and the ugly chick, which most people seem to have forgotten. It's a live-action cartoon.

Lots of average movies have cool stunts in them (Sharky's Machine, Stick).

Downvote away but the bomb test scenes in Oppenheimer were amazing within a movie that was otherwise the world's longest Malick trailer combined with a listless Cold-War version of All the President's Men.

Batman v Superman is pretty mediocre, but it has some really great comic book scenes. The Batman warehouse scene, the batmobile scene, the destruction of Metropolis thru Affleck's point of view, his parents death with Zimmer's great score. A shame that the movie as a whole was weak.

My first thought was the No Man's Land scene in Wonder Woman. Mediocre super hero movie but that scene made me feel something the first and only time I watched it.

I just went to watch it again after this thread and it's really not anything special by itself.

Another candidate that always comes to mind is the first Truck scene in Jeepers Creepers (and really the first 30 minutes of the movie).
