Name a film that starts strong but ends weak


I hate when this happens: a film starts off and grabs you but then at some point it falls apart and ends on a weak note. Maybe these aren’t the best examples, but IMO these films got boring midway through:

Top Gun (after Goose died)
Baby Driver (after the first car scene)
Taken (after he stabbed his ex-colleague’s wife)

Weak is a strong word but:

Django Unchained
Den of theives
Sunshine

The Dark Knight... After the hospital blows up, it's basically done. It just dwindles down after that point and I hate seeing Two-Face become a five minute "villain."

reply

Yeah, the movie doesn't even need Two-Face. It's all about Batman vs Joker.

Flight of The Navigator. The movie is a great sci-fi mystery, and then becomes a goofy kids adventure.

High Tension (2003)
Shutter Island (2010)
War of the Worlds (2005)
The Game (1997)
