Besides Training Day, what other movie gets severely overrated due to one scene?

[KGlock]

What's that term these gen z kids say nowadays, rage baiting?

Oh yea

 

[s@n]

Denzel had at least six or seven roles prior to TD that he was much better in

Nah, Training Day is a classic.

Denzel had at least six or seven roles prior to TD that he was much better in

Possibly, but it's the one movie in which we actually see him play the morally corrupt bad guy, which was and is still rare to see of Denzel. Another rarity is that it's also one of the few movies of his in which his character dies.

Before Training Day, where things go as usual, in terms of script, Denzel would've been written in as Hawke's character taking down a dirty cop, but this time roles were reversed, and that is what makes Training Day special and adds to its appeal, winning him that well-deserved Oscar. Imagine an actor always known for playing the good, morally conscious guy who saves the day, but then suddenly they break out into a role that's different from the norm of their reputation.

Yes, the formula/plot of Training Day is simple in that we've seen it before but seeing Denzel in the backdrop of the gritty hood and slums of LA raises the film above average. If any other actor played the character of Alonzo, this movie would probably be in the B-tier category, a very good film, but not an Academy Award winner.

Training Day overrated where OP??

No Way Home is not a good movie but I knew nikkas would not be able to honestly discuss it once this scene happened

Hot take but anything outside the Sam Raimi Spider-Man joints are pretty garbage, especially the latest ones.

Since we’re talking Kevin spacey… the usual suspects…. Movie was made by the last scene

Came to post these exact words.

Do the Right Thing. Just fast-forward to the Radio Raheem part

Basically anything Nicholas Cage has done.

Nah. Set it Off is a classic. "I'm in a bind, Nate" Queen Latifah's soft coming out of the closet and her death scene. Vivica's character going from meek and mild mannered to pulling the gun in the cop who chastised her at the beginning of the film.

You may be juxtaposing two characters. Vivica's character has never meek and mild. You are confusing her with the mother who got her kid taken away by "them people"

I get you. Ronnie wasn't meek. She had PTSD because WC shot the white lady in front of her. Then the guy from Scrubs blamed her because she froze and didn't press the silent alarm.

It then comes around full circle at the end when she asks him what is the procedure when a gun is pointed to her face. The same question he asked her.

Looking back at the film, it got less praise than it should

Bohemian Rhapsody is a textbook example of this

Live Aid scene was great.
