Post something you've watched that you liked up until a certain point and then thought it either fell apart or was at the very least tainted by something and then never recovered afterward. For me, it was Chungking Express. I loved the first story and progressively hated the second more and more. Why the fuck would you make a movie with multiple, similar stories in the same setting involving characters under similar circumstances and yet they're completely separate from each other? I wasn't really a fan of Fallen Angels either but Christ, at least some of the characters from the different story lines in that one crossed over and actually had something to do with each other. Even less than that, the first story was just much better done overall. It was funny, sad, suspenseful and romantic and was paced incredibly well. The cop and the blonde chick are somewhat memorable and even though they're fated to only meet one time because he's a cop and she's a criminal, it's still enjoyable watching the two of them together in the brief time they have. The second story is mostly just sad and has a happy ending but fucking drags on like molasses in the summer and is incredibly repetitive. Faye Wong is decent but just fucks around in the cop's apartment when he's out working and plays the exact same music at her job over and over again, and the cop is too retarded to even notice she's been in his apartment until he literally catches her doing it in person toward the end. This would've been a great film if it was just the first 40 minutes or if the two stories crossed over, but instead this was made. What a disappointment.

Parasite, falls off after the first half. Sucker punch went right to shit after the samurai fight.

I don't know. I guess I just didn't like the turn to basement guy. I think I expected more an arc where they not only replace the staff of the family but the family itself.

That would be interesting, but replace them in front of whom? they'd have to establish a lot more characters
