22 Movies People Only Finished Hoping They’d Get Good

Deciding when to quit a movie is a lot like deciding when to quit a romantic relationship. Give up too early, and you might only realize later what you were missing, and then you have to start all over. Stick it out too long, and you’ll end up with nothing but regrets and a stomachache from all the snacks it took to get through it.

Worst of all, seeing a movie/relationship through to the end because it seemed like a really good idea and you were hoping it would get better at some point is a special kind of despair known mostly to English singer-songwriters but also to everyone at some point. As a result, when user Bocephalus asked r/AskReddit, “What is the single worst movie you sat through hoping it would get better, but didn’t?,” everyone had their tale of woe.
