Front Row Dress Circle

It is always disappointing when you read a lot of hype about a soon-to-be-released blockbuster and then go to see the film only for it to have a truly awful ending. I’m talking about those anti-climaxes which prove to be a real let down - you walk out of the cinema feeling pretty pissed off.
