I hate when a movie is kino for the first ~30 minutes then turns to self-indulgent masturbatory crap.
>>223605144SALT with Angelina Jolie is like that.Granting amnesty to an international terrorist for giving you the name of a bigger terrorist and then the name he gives you is your name is such a kino fucking set up for a movie and then it fumbles it hard
>>223605144Dusk till Dawn was like that for me, but I went into it blind and the twist was such a sharp difference from the beginning (crime drama/thriller) it ruined the movie for me. Can watch the first part any time, but have only seen the rest of it like twice
>>223605144But come and see was great from the beginning to the end.
>>223605258As a kid I loved that twist. But now I realize the vampire stuff is so bad. It's just scene after scene of characters fighting vampires solo and getting killed individually. It's like they were too lazy/talentless to film action scenes with multiple characters.
>>223605305it has plenty of good moments spread throughout, but it relies too much on people wailing to try and make me feel the horrors of war. It's like when a comedy thinks having every character yelling all the time is funny. It wears thin quickly.
