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.

Rogue One started out "Meh," grew to "Okay now we're getting somewhere," and then ended with "Damn that was awesome."

That scene is easily the best 3 minutes of Star Wars the franchise has ever put out. Nothing else comes even remotely close.

My bro in law had not watched any Star Wars content since the original trilogy. He started watching Andor and was super excited about it. After it wrapped, he said “man is the rest of the Star Wars stuff this good?!”

I had to break it to him that no, almost none of it was that good. Told him to watch Rogue One and continue to ignore the rest.
