9 Movies So Annoying They Lose You In The First 60 Seconds

9. John Connor Is Terminated - Terminator: Dark Fate

By the time the most recent attempt to steer the Terminator franchise in a new direction properly got underway - after Sarah Connor's intense Judgment Day warning to humanity and the sight of machines storming a beach, of course - fans found themselves being treated to a 1998 flashback involving Linda Hamilton's leading lady and her son John; brought to life by combining Edward Furlong's facial likeness with Jude Collie's body.

Only, far from this being a pleasant trip down memory lane with two digitally-altered Terminator icons at a beach bar, it took less than a minute for Sarah's peaceful reality to be completely massacred by a T-800.

Leaving jaws dangling the world over and many fans - and even Furlong himself - somewhat annoyed at the speed of his demise, the apparent saviour of the human race was quickly dispatched by another version of Arnie's unstoppable machine.

Sure, this definitely gripped fans before they'd even had a chance to properly get comfortable in their seats. But cutting down such a pivotal figure from the franchise so soon into a flick that promised to be a continuation of those first two beloved Terminator tales was always destined to brass off many, as Hamilton herself noted early on.
