Recently, in a thread on the subreddit r/movies, redditor u/Sufficient_Season_61 asked fans, "What was the cringiest moment or line that took you out of a movie?" and movie lovers really came through with some great responses!
So, with that in mind, here are just a few of the most popular responses shared:
1. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
"One of the cringiest moments, especially in context, was sitting in a theater at the opening weekend, and hearing Oscar Isaac spit out the line: 'Somehow, Palpatine has returned.' The problem was that there was still two hours to go. I've rarely witnessed a whole audience laugh at a scene that wasn't supposed to be funny. I'm glad that I'm not into Star Wars because that must have been horrifying for fans."

9. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

10. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
"Thor arriving in Wakanda with Stormbreaker is one of my all-time favorite scenes in all of the MCU, but when Banner says, 'You guys are so screwed now,' it's just so jarring, and takes me out of the scene. I wish there was a cut that would take his line out."
