But there were also some great music moments. The Arctic Monkeys’ comeback album was a huge success, Kesha won her court case against Dr. Luke, and Dua Lip topped the charts with her debut single “New Rules.”
Best TV Show Moment: The Fall of Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones came to an end after seven seasons, and the final episode was a bittersweet affair for fans. While some loved seeing the characters come to grips with the reality of their situations, others were left feeling frustrated by what seemed like unfinished business.
One of the best TV show moments of the year was when Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) entered into the city of Meereen and declared himself its queen. The scene showed not only Tyrion’s power but also his arrogance. It was a perfect encapsulation of his character, and it was a moment that viewers will never forget.
Other standout TV show moments included the arrival of Carol Burnett on RuPaul’s Drag Race; Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime performance; and Donald Trump being sworn in as president of the United States. Each one will be remembered for different reasons, but they all proved to be unforgettable moments in 2018.
Worst TV Show Moment: The Unforgivable Crossover of Two Cancelled Shows
The year was full of disappointing television moments. But the worst of them all had to be when ABC pulled the plug on the much-maligned and unpopular crossover between the cancelled shows “The Unforgivable Crossover” and “The Good Doctor.”
While some viewers were excited for the crossover, most were left bitterly disappointed by its lackluster execution. The plotline saw characters from both cancelled shows seemingly working together to take down a common enemy, but it was too convoluted and nonsensical to be enjoyable.
Other low points in 2018 included the firing of Roseanne Barr from her own show after a racist tweet, the death of Robin Williams at age 63, and the devastation of Hurricane Florence in North Carolina.
Best Movie Moment: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The year 2016 was a highly anticipate year for movie fans all over the worlds. And, as expected, it did not disappoint. The best movie moment of the year had to be Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Not only was the film visually stunning, but it also featured some of the best action sequences and emotional moments ever seen in a movie. In particular, the ending scene where Rey (Daisy Ridley) is revealed to be Luke Skywalker’s (Mark Hamill) daughter was truly heartwarming. It was an excellent way to tie all of the different elements of the original trilogy together and make sure that fans were left satisfied.
Other highlights of the year included Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Both films were well-made, but divisive. Some people absolutely loved them, while others found them extremely disappointing. However, they are still two very good movies that are worth watching if you’re a fan of superhero movies.
Overall, 2016 was a great year for movie fans all over the world. There were plenty of excellent films to choose from, and no single one was bad enough to ruin the experience for everyone else. Thanks for reading!
Worst Movie Moment: San Andreas
One of the worst movie moments of the year was when San Andreas hit theaters. The film was full of major fabrications and false advertising that made it a total disaster. Not only did it have terrible acting, but it also had some truly shocking moments.
For example, in one scene, a character is driving down a highway when a massive earthquake hits. The car suddenly starts flipping over, and the driver ends up getting thrown out of the car. Thankfully, he was not injure, but this scene was all too realistic for many moviegoers.
Another poor moment came during the climax of the film. Just as the main characters are about to escape the city, the building they’re hiding in collapses. This scene was so poorly done that many viewers were left wondering how it could have ended any other way. It turned out to be one of the most hated scenes in San Andreas history.
Overall, 2018 was a pretty bad year for movies. However, there were a few standout moments that made it worth watching. These include the disastrous San Andreas and the heart-wrenching ending to Black Panther
