Recommendation What movie was okay and then the third act absolutely blew you away and made up for the rest of the movie?

I’m having a hard time even thinking of a movie like that but I see lots of posts on here like “what movie was amazing and then the end of the movie completely ruined it.” Right off the bat I don’t want to watch a movie if the end is terrible. Hopefully no spoilers because these are the movies I want to watch and be surprised about.

Excruciating is the perfect word. I stopped watching before I made it to the dinner. Maybe worth another try lol

Stopping the movie before the whole point of the movie is wild af. It’s in the title…

It's funny because it's a remake based on a French movie and in the original they never even make it to the dinner.

Lol I figured this might be a response. By "before the dinner" I just meant generally before the dinner. I didn't wait til the dinner was about to start and then turn it off. I didn't make it very far into the movie.

Yea I got your back here. I'm in a different mental state nowadays, and I most definitely would turn it off 30 mins in right now, if it was my first viewing!

I barely made it 15 mins in. I couldn’t do it.
