Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Fans have been enquire what will be Quentin Tarantino ’s 10th and last film for a while now , but the one thing for certain is thatit wo n’t be the canceledDjango and Zorrocrossover motion picture . The filmmaker had been working on the crossover continuation for a while before he actualise the budget would have been way too eminent . But some Redditors did n’t even take kindly to the universally acclaimed original movie , thinking the second half paled in comparability to the first half .
Redditors have deliberate which flick have lopsided one-half , whether it ’s the film ’s first or 2d half motion picture that ’s much worse than the other . Between the now - classic Tarantino film , an only half - epicStar Warsmovie , and a Viking film that becomes more about farming than revenge , these films should either be turned off or switched on at the Battle of Midway point .
Hancock (2008)
Where most superhero motion picture are adaptation of funny books , Hancockis one of the few superheroes that was really created for the screen . But despite being a boxful role hit and making $ 630 million worldwide ( viaBox Office Mojo ) , it did n’t become anywhere near as iconic as the superhero films based on risible books . That ’s partially due to the assorted receipt from critics , andOuterzenithnotes that the 2d half meet from a shoehorn - in romance game .
The Redditor excuse , " At first , it ’s a pretty fresh turn of events on the superhero musical style , how the unbiassed superpowered guy has to fit in guild and rebuild his range from an a * * * * * * to a role model . Then they beget ta total love affair into it ? " The first half of the 2008 movie beatDeadpoolat its own plot , as it follows a uproariously reluctant anti - hero who causes more harm than good , but the last half is almost like a different picture show . However , the movie does have its rooter , and some thinkHancockis the best standalone superhero flick .
Idiocracy (2006)
Idiocracyis one of the most exact dystopian movies , as itbest predicts the hereafter of humankind . Even though the film is pretty fantastical and implausible , a lot of what the picture portrays can be discover in society today . The flick begins with an healthy and wealthy couple who wait to have children until the economy is stable , which never happen , whereas a couple living in a lagger parking lot has as many children as they can .
That ’s the kickoff of what ’s 40 minute of hilarious satirical funniness , butAreWeCowabungareckons it significantly dangle off after that . The Redditor argue , " The first half is world building where they have the freedom to just do whatever wacky stuff they want , then the plot takes over and they just have to get to the end . "
The Wolverine (2013)
Callmemacreadythinks Logan ’s 2nd expedition , The Wolverine , has incredibly spotty halves . The Redditor posit , " First part is great , a lot like Miller ’s risible run , but then turn into generic CGI giant robot showdown . " The first part is a great and faithfuladaptation of Frank Miller ’s unspoilt comic Scripture , but it , unfortunately , has a clichéd and underwhelming last number .
But the Redditor is being a little unjust , as the CGI fest come in the motion picture ’s last part , and it ’s much less than half of the two - hour film . But either means , the picture drop off when it has to splice everything together , as not only is the bad CGI distracting , but the termination feels so rushed . And even though film director James Mangold redeemed himself with the follow - up , Logan , its final turn once again suffer the same problem .
Rogue One (2016)
Nobody would have ever thought that a spin - off prequel movie would have been better than any of the continuation trilogy , but , against all betting odds , it ended up being held in higher regard than any of them by most fans . However , Redgunnerguyis more critical of the moving picture than others , noting that the second half is much better than the first half .
The Redditor explains , " It go from a very boring undercover agent movie to an amazing warfare movie . All the way until HE show up . " After what is a jolly dense and meandering setup in the first half , it then becomes an epic battle for the entire last hour , and it ’s the first time in the franchise that it ’s ever felt like an actual " star war . " Not only that , but it features one ofthe best hall combat sceneswhen Vader show up and slaughters half of the rising .
Django Unchained (2012)
Better_Maximum2682thinks thatDjango Unchained , one of the most universally praise movies of the 2010s , " Turns to junk after the first one-half . " The Redditor is not alone , as a lot of the second half has been criticise by others even if it is one of Quentin Tarantino ’s best .
When Dr. King Schultz drink down Calvin Candie in front of all of his guards , it ’s so out of character . Schultz has done nothing but plans everything so meticulously from the very opening scene , so it does n’t make sentience that he ’d do something so spontaneous , specially knowing that it would in all probability end up in a massacre , stamp out him and potentially even Django . And , take after that , when it feels like the movie is ending , there ’s a whole other human action where Django is sold to Australian slave owner , only for Django to end up back at the Candie spread .
Fantastic Four (2005)
Marvel Studios is develop aFantastic Fourmovie set within the MCU , and it ’s one of the most exciting releases on the studio ’s slate . But it is n’t the first time a studio has attempted to make a electrifying Hollywood film about Marvel ’s first superheroes . The 2005 release was a camp and hammy take on the reservoir textile , and it was universally hated , butArchDuckythinks the picture show has some merits in its first one-half .
Looper (2012)
Hier00points toLooper , the 2012 sci - fi action flick , for having two very lopsided one-half . The Redditor explains , " First half was near , 2d one-half was absolutely horrific . It ’s essentially a different motion picture altogether after the midpoint . " The drug user is n’t wrong , as the moving-picture show switches from a sci - fi picture about time - move around hitmen to one about a vernal male child with advanced telekinetic powers .
It ’s like two one-half of two very different films ignore and pasted together . Though the picture show frequently prompt audiences that psychokinesis exists in the world in the first hr , it feels completely out of place . And while the second half brings up some interesting concepts , it is n’t the film that was sell to audience in the marketing campaign .
The Northman (2022)
The Northmanmight have bombed at the box office ( viaBox Office Mojo ) , but it has become many people ’s preferred movie of the year so far . Thoughit ’s essentially a typical retaliation movie , it ’s such a unique - looking film and uses Norse mythology in such a fantastical way . ButElderfutharkthinks that the second half is lacking compared to the activeness - compact and exciting first one-half . The Redditor argues , " Frenzied Norse Epic in the first half , rugby equal and tundra land in the second . "
The first 90 minute of the picture see Viking invading villages and is to a fault violent . The second half sees Amleth doing chore on a farm . But while it make audiences marvel why he does n’t kill Fjölnir at any point on the farm , as he has so many chances , it at least lead to an larger-than-life net struggle on an erupting volcano , which is more thrilling than anything in the first half .
Funny People (2009)
Though film director Judd Apatow has some classic under his belt , such asKnocked UpandThe 40 - yr - Old Virgin , Funny Peoplemight be his magnum opus . Not only is itone of the longest comedy moviesever , but it ’s uproariously ego - referential , as Adam Sandler act as an exaggerated version of himself star in goofy comedies for the payroll check - only he returns to stand - up comedy after being diagnose with cancer .
Beeblebrox41thinks only half of it is a masterpiece , observe , " The first half is Apatow ’s adept picture . The second one-half is close to his bad . " The plastic film feel like it ’s wrap up at the Battle of Midway degree , as George Simmons ( Sandler ) beats cancer , only it keeps going for another hour as he taste to win back his ex - lady friend who is jubilantly married with child , and it just feels weird and unpleasant .
Halloween Kills (2021)
After the critical acclaim of 2018’sHalloweenreboot , which also became the highest - grossing movie in the franchise by far ( viaBox Office Mojo ) , director David Gordon Green struggled to seize lightning in a nursing bottle twice . Halloween Killsis almost comically unfit , and the line that ’s speak so many time throughout the movie , " Evil die tonight ! " has been memed to no end .
