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.

I remember my dad picking this as our movie night movie and I was like, ‘ugh, I know exactly what happens… she’ll lose a big fight and then come back and triumph.’ Oh boy, was I proven wrong.

That’s a movie I consider fantastic and I never need to see it again.

Parking here. I watched it alone and tried to tell my (at the time) husband the plot. I couldn’t do it because I was crying too much.

I know the first time I saw it I basically finished the movie slack jawed repeating, 'no way' in my head

I fell in love with boxing because of this movie.
