The Awakening (2011)
An OK film that could've been great.
The true tragedy of this film doesn't lie within the backstories of its' characters -- it's that it had so much potential to be a much better film.
It had - in my opinion - everything going for it: an interesting plot, compelling characters, an eerie and atmospheric setting... oh, and Imelda Staunton.
And somehow it managed to toss all those things aside in the last ~40 minutes of the film in lieu of a not particularly clever twist that had very little, if any, build-up.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Jason Statham and The Rock stroke their egos for 2 hours and 17 minutes.
They're invincible, hot women are all over them, and every scene has to mention how ripped The Rock is a minimum of twice. It's like every awful action movie trope rolled together x2. Even being self-aware (we get it -- they're stuborn, testosterone-oozing bald manbabies) couldn't save it. The CGI and fight scenes were also cheesy and cartoonish. So if you're looking for a good, plot-rich action film, I'd pass on this one; the trailer contained just about every semi-decent scene in the movie, anyway.
