10Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Directed by George Lucas

Cast

While it still isn’tthe bestStar Warsmovie , mainstream media has at last embracedRevenge of the Sith , and it ’s always been consider the high spot of the prequel trilogy . Thestandout scene inEpisode IIIis Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s iconic lightsaber duelon the planet Mustafar .

9Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

Directed by Bryan Singer

Bryan Singer ’s Freddie Mercury biopic was undeniably successful , grossing near $ 1 billion and winning Rami Malek an Academy Award for Best Actor . Still , the film received a mixed decisive response , with only a 60 % on Rotten Tomatoes . The alive Aid performance scene is a massive intellect for the film ’s award eclat , as Malek truly channels Freddie Mercury with astute attention to the details of the real - life performance . The scene is inspiring and incredibly moving , making it a clean standout from the biopic .

8The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski

Ofthe fourMatrixmovies , The Matrix Reloadedisn’t the spoiled , but it ’s still a far cry from the original . The stunning main road action sequence is the sequel ’s economy grace , create it the second - in force in the saga . The films are know for their inventive action , and the foresighted main road chase deliver some of the most telling stunts and visual effect in all four installments , mixing car chase element with Wire fu combat and impressive CGI for the era .

7Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Directed by Zack Snyder

Almost all of Zack Snyder ’s film have mixed decisive review , andBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justiceis one of his most controversial . Love it or hate it , the Batman warehouse succession is undeniably some of the best Batman action in movies . The brutal do could ’ve been ripped flat off the pages of a Frank Miller graphic novel , as Snyder excels in acute , violent action sequences . While the theatrical swing for sure has its narrative issue , the director ’s cut is far better , and the warehouse fighting scene is its highlighting .

6The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Directed by Christopher Nolan

The last installment toThe Dark Knighttrilogy is one ofChristopher Nolan ’s bad film . By Nolan ’s gold standard and by the excellence of its predecessor , The Dark Knight Riseswas middling unsatisfying . It does n’t live up toThe Dark Knight , but the film vitally concludes the series on a powerful , memorable note . The end sequence ofThe Dark Knight Risesis actuate , redolent , and perfectly encapsulates audiences ' love and grasp for Christian Bale ’s Batman and the incredible trilogy .

5The Usual Suspects (1995)

Bryan Singer’sThe Usual Suspectsis a fantastic movie and one of the most outstanding in the crime literary genre . Most of the film is spend exploring a offence that ’s already been committed , with the mysterious Keyser Soze ’s identity looming over its runtime . The film ’s polar moment see Kevin Spacey ’s character let out to have been manufacture the story all along , resulting inone of the most shameful motion picture plot twists ever . The film is fundamentally a slow burn building up to its turn , and without the end scene , it ’s not the most telling story .

4Troy (2004)

Directed by Wolfgang Petersen

Sword - and - sandal war movies are n’t typically well - reviewed , and Wolfgang Petersen ’s unaffixed adaptation of the Iliad is no exception . Still , the Trojan War epic receive better response from hearing than it did from critics , and the duel between Achilles and Hector is a huge ground why . It ’s one of the mostepic movie steel fights of all fourth dimension , embellished by Brad Pitt and Eric Bana learning the stunts themselves to deliver a bleak , brutal fight sequence . It ’s an unforgettable battle , and the film would n’t be the same without it .

3Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)

Directed by Adam McKay

Another pic saved by an incredible battle scene isAnchorman 2 . The long - look follow - up is one of thebest comedy subsequence , though it falls short of the classic Will Ferrell film in many slipway . Many of the photographic film ’s gags are recycled from the first , and while Ron Burgundy is always amusing , the movie is n’t as of course funny as its predecessor . Still , the final battle one - ups the news program squad fight from the firstAnchorman , with an preposterous card of news team and celebrity cameo coming out of the woodwork for the climactic brawl .

2Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

Directed by Ridley Scott

LikeTroy , Kingdom of Heavenis a state of war epic that fell short with critic . The film also has a tremendous director ’s cut that is worth watching for medieval film lover . In either case , the picture ’s sound scene is the encounter between King Baldwin IV and Saladin . Orlando Bloom is whole as the celluloid ’s lead , butthe functioning of Edward Norton and Ghassan Massoud are the standouts . They work two outstanding historical leaders to life , demonstrating a powerful mutual respect in their bewitch share prospect .

1The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

Directed by Peter Jackson

The Desolation of Smaughas many egress , from its unearthly dearest triangle to the pathetic gun barrel chase episode . However , the introduction of Smaug , played expertly by Benedict Cumberbatch , get the grueling build - up worthwhile . The scene between Bilbo and Smaug feels as veritable to Tolkien ’s stories as scene from theLord of the Ringstrilogy , indicating how fantastic Peter Jackson’sThe Hobbitadaptation could ’ve been had it not been pad for extra movies .
