Morbius
2022's Morbius has grown into something of a cult film thanks to the many memes surrounding the film in regard to its strange dialogue and directorial choices. Reddit user valkdoorposts one of the lines from the film as the worst piece of dialogue they've heard, "It's lethal to bats....but deadly to humans". Related: 10 Worst-Looking CGI Characters, According to Reddit The line is made even more terrible by the fact that the speaker, Morbius, is supposedly a scientist. It's a completely illog...
Deep Blue Sea
Deep Blue Sea is best remembered as the film that unceremoniously killed Samuel L. Jackson, but it's also important to point out that the rest of the film is a mess with some horrendous dialogue. Redditor Positive-Source8205posts, "We made their brains bigger. As a consequence, they got smarter." The scientists in the film have been developing ways to combat Alzheimer's disease by testing in sharks. They end up increasing the intelligence of the sharks to the point that the sharks start hunti...
Pearl Harbor
Even Michael Bay's best movies have never been the go-to examples of good film writing, he tends to focus on action and set pieces rather than dialogue. But Reddit user Ruffian00012 posts a particularly egregious example from Pearl Harbor, "I think World War 2 just started." The events of Pearl Harbor, which are shown in the film, happened on December 7, 1941, two years after the war's official start. It doesn't get much more jingoistic than Americans deciding World War II didn't start until...
The Tomorrow War
Amazon's The Tomorrow War is one of the most expensive films ever released on a streaming platform and actually performed fairly well for critics considering many called it paint-by-numbers for the genre. But the CGI, clever premise, and effort that seemed to be put in the film were all pluses. Related: 10 Worst Movies With Excellent Remakes Reddit user McRambis, however, posts some laughable dialogue as the reason the film doesn't completely work, "If protecting my family means saving the wo...
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Plan 9 From Outer Spaceis widely considered one of the worst films ever made and often makes the number one spot on ranked charts. It is a fiasco from every possible angle, special effects like spaceships made of paper plates, technical errors, and wooden acting. And, of course, the dialogue is atrocious. Redditor truckturner5164gives a few examples such as, "Future events such as these will affect you...in the future". Absurd dialogue like this is as painful to hear as it is to read. The sto...
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
One of the fantastic reveals of the second Doctor Strange film was the introduction of the Illuminati in another universe. The Illuminati, as any Marvel fan knows, is an organization of Earth's most powerful heroes. They are very prevalent in the comics and in no way a minor part of the universe. However, they have never appeared in the MCUso when it appeared, it marked a big moment. And it's why Reddit user Sagzmirthinks Doctor Strange's line to them is so bad, "The Illumin-what-i?" The word...
Tenet
Choppy dialogue is almost a trademark of Christopher Nolan films. His characters don't always speak like real people, instead issuing out lines that are meant to be expository rather than character revealing. Redditor paulinuhhh points out one of his worst lines from Tenet, "Everyone will die. Including my son!" It's stating the obvious, but if everyone dies, Elizabeth Debicki's character's son would be included under "everyone". It's a redundant and useless line that only serves to remind th...
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith
The three prequel Star Wars films were the only three to be directed by George Lucas save for the original film in the series, A New Hope. He has proven himself time and again a much better producer and world builder than scriptwriter and director of actors. Reddit user Norwester77points to one of his worst lines in the series, "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" Related: 10 Best Dialogue Writers, Ranked By IMDb This line has been mocked roundly for its self-seriousness and ridiculous...
The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender, the live-action film version of the beloved animated Avatar: The Last Airbender show was criticized for many reasons, not least of which was its terrible dialogue. Redditor MrLee723mentions a particularly ridiculous line, "It’s time to show the Fire Nation that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in theirs". M. Night Shyamalan has never been excellent at writing dialogue, but this line is one of his worst. The structure of the sentence wouldn't pass a high sc...

Basically what it comes down to is that all war films whether intentionally or not, glorify what they mean to demonize by virtue of the medium regardless of a writer or directors intent. There is a good BBC culture article that explains the argument, as well as a TV Tropes entry titled Do Not Do This Cool Thing.
- "Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me."
