10 Movies Where the Opening Scene Is Better Than the Rest of the Movie (MovieWeb)

"Sometimes it seems as though filmmakers take the concept for a movie to a studio only to show them the first 10 minutes. Which was enough of a taste to get the studio to green light, but as a misdirection. Why? Because some movies feel like all the thoughtful creative effort went into crafting the first chunk of the first act, and then there was no juice left for the remainder. These are the movies that peak not just in the first act, but in the first 10 minutes. Now, that's not to say these films are poor, but their effectiveness does experience a rather rapid decline. From slasher sequels and original superhero films to Hanna Barbera adaptations and less original superhero film, these are the films that peak from the outset." - movieweb.com
