What Movie Do You Like Until The Third Act?

Not to cast too much hate on it but I think Star Wars: TFA was building up to be an actual incredible movie (despite all the callbacks) up until they attacked Starkiller. At that point everything felt rushed; a group of like 15 x-wings and a piece of junk manage to infiltrate the force field, at light speed without crashing into it somehow, and then land on the base, sneak around, manage to capture one of the highest commanding officers in the FO and have her (without much force or anything) betray her entire order by manually lowering the shields (with her reasoning being that, you guys are fucked anyway, when she was supposed to be all about loyalty). After that it goes pretty well, I actually got chills when Han called out Kylo's real name on the bridge, but I hated how they rushed everyone around in the escape. Hux is talking to Snoke with like ten minutes left until the planet detonates, he manages to then get on a ship, find Kylo and escape, okay fine, but then Rey is also able to get back to the ship with very little issue and even with the planet being torn apart under everyone's feet. They could have extended the movie by about another twenty minutes to flesh some of those plot points out better. But then again after what TLJ did I could care less about the story.
