8 Utterly Boring Openings That Spoiled Great Movies

1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

'My dear Frodo, you asked me once if I had told you everything there was to know about my adventures. And while I can honestly say I've told you the truth, I may not have told you all of it. 'Now before I spend ages telling you every minutiae of said adventures, including things there was no way I witnessed or was even aware of, let me tell you about another adventure. It€™s slightly relevant to my adventures, although once again don€™t question how I know it in such explicit detail. Oh, but before we get to the relevant things let me set up a town that bears no importance to my adventure or really the pre-adventure. There's also a dragon, but I don€™t feel I have the time to describe him just yet, even though I later saw him the flesh. 'Don€™t worry though. Once I€™ve told this story, that makes Galadriel€™s rings monologue look like a slight children€™s book, I€™ll excite you with washing-up songs and unmemorable dwarfs and, after a bit more exposition, we€™ll finally begin that journey I mentioned. It'll only take two short chapters/half a long film. 'Oh, I also forgot to mention this jewel thing which is kinda important, but I€™ll just mention that midway through because I think by then we'll be due some exposition.' - Bilbo Baggins
I€™m so glad to be back in Middle Earth. Know of any more rare films start terribly and end up quite good? Head to the comments and let us know.
