Movies That Were Good Until...

[Aesop Rocks]

This is a thread about movies that were good until certain scenes in the film that killed it for you.

My list:

Jurassic Park 2: I really enjoyed this movie a lot and I remember watching it, thinking it was the greatest, most un-flawed movie ever. Until I watched it again like 2 months ago and I realized all the flaws and Vince Vaughn. The scene that really shut me out was When they captured the T-Rex and transported it back to the United States and, after the ship crashed and the crew were found dead. WITH NO EXPLANATION.

Jason X: Jason had I guess 'de-thawed' and started his killing spree, he killed the girl with some freeze thing and smashed her face in and how FAKE the prop head looked. That or the scene with the victims tricking him in the virtual camp setting.

AVP: REALLY good movie up until Predator BFF'd the girl and they were running together like intergalactic warriors.

AVP: R, besides the entire movie being terrible, here's a small list:
-The Predalien in the nursery, that scene literally pissed me off. They took it too far there, for my likes.
-The people fleeing to a gun story and saying the worst/most cliche line ever: 'We need guns!".
-The fact that a hand gun (a regular 9MM) killed an Xenomorph.
- After the town was nuked and the helicopter crashed and everyone is surprisingly OK after SURVIVING a CRASH via NUCLEAR BLAST and the writters had the guts to write in the WORST LINE EVER, "Next time, let me drive".

Sunshine: The Ending

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I never seen it, I heard really good things about it though.

 

[bluedragon77]

blood the last vampire 2009 was great until i saw the horrible effects.. movie would have been so much cooler if not for the horrible effects..

 

[bluedragon77]

Sunshine: The Ending

+1 they always seem to make a good movie then for some reason do something major to eff it up.. great movie cept for the ending.

Sunshine: The Ending

The made-for-tv film or Kubrick's?

 

[SuperAl]

ya definitely sunshine until it turned into a slasher

 

[Bunker]

The made-for-tv film or Kubrick's?

Danny Boyle's...?

I'd have to agree with him. The first 2/3 of the film was fresh and exciting. The last 30 minutes or so was a clichéd mess.

Wow, I'm an idiot -- for some reason I read the Shining.

I loved the whole film, but I can see why a good amount of people hate the third act.

 

[Rac]

I guess I'm on the minority 'cause the 3rd act of Sunshine didn't bother me that much.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

From my knowledge it's about "rebooting the dying sun" which just sounds astronomically amazing to me.

 

[Episode29]

Sunshine: The Ending

My first thought upon reading the thread title.

Here's a great clip of Tarantino ripping into the film's bizarre downward trajectory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAMYudPgQKc&feature=related

Die Another Day (Bond) was good until "London Calling" by The Clash was finished playing.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

First film that came to mind was Spielbergs War of the Worlds. What a saccharine, Hollywood ending. Totally tacked on.

 

[dude stannis]

WAR/Rogue Assassin. Great until the ending.

 

[Episode29]

Agreed!

I thought that A Perfect Getaway was a failry entertaining little B-movie up until the ludicrous twist which required 10 minutes to flashbacks to help explain.

I also thought Hancock died a sad, pathetic death after Charlize Theron hit him with a fridge.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

blood the last vampire 2009 was great until i saw the horrible effects.. movie would have been so much cooler if not for the horrible effects..

agreed...couldn't get through it



OngBak the Thai Warrior: Not a bad film. Great action. The actors stunts were all great. But then he had people smacking him around with fridges and **** into him and he just plowing through them

 

[Dark Victory]

First film that came to mind was Spielbergs War of the Worlds. What a saccharine, Hollywood ending. Totally tacked on.

Yep, Cruise's ex-wife's building perfectly fine after an alien invasion and his son who somehow made it all the way to Boston on his own.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Indiana Jones: Temple of the Crystal Skull. The Aliens.

 

[hitmanyr2k]

I wanted that kid to die so bad. I can't remember a character annoying me as much as him in recent memory.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

War of The Worlds had a lot of potential, from the Superbowl ad, that was one of the greatest things I had ever seen and the Tripods were the coolest things ever. I just didn't like the casting (Tim Robbins was good though) at all.

 

[Episode29]

Still a great film, but the studio demanded ending of Magnificent Ambersons never ceases to annoy the piss out of me.

 

[Warhammer]

Whew, Sunshine was the first movie I thought of when I saw this thread. When it turned slasher mode, it went down a few notches.
