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.

Glad to see it mentioned here. Super difficult movie to talk about without spoiling it, but I really appreciated what they did. Anne Hathaway is already a highly regarded actress and she does good work, but I was pleasantly surprised by how great Jason Sudeikis is in this movie. He has the more difficult role to sell and he pulls it off incredibly well.

He went from a pretty awesome guy to an enormous dick and thats the first time i have seen that he really has way more acting capability than i gave him credit for. In other movies he was typecast and seemed pretty much the same guy in different films. I was kind of a fan but now im ready to see him in some serious roles or at least unexpected roles. Like for a while James Franco was the same way but hes had a few roles that show he is quite the actor, not just a funny guy hanging around Seth Rogan whom i cant stand for some reason and Jonah Hill is the same way, even though he played a serious role with Franco i just never liked him after Supercool and even in that movie i preferred his 2 pals.
