Contrary to popular opinion, does anyone else typically find themselves enjoying the first 2/3rds of a film over the last 1/3rd?

I find that the final third of many films, particularly popular entertainment flicks, delve more into physical action scenes, and almost always this feels less interesting. For one, there's an air of predictability to it all, as you know the main character(s) are going to jump through some physical obstacles and come out unscathed until, at worst, the final moments. Then there's also just the ffact that the early plot points all need wrapping up, so many of the charms and unpredictably of the early parts get are put aside and the film gets more "narrow", i guess you could say.

This all causes me to kinda zone out and be bored in the final acts.

It's just that so often I find myself reading opinions and reviews of films where people say "first half was boring, but when shit hits the wall in the final 30minutes thats when things get good". And I'm just feeling the exact opposite, because I enjoyed all the early character build up and setting introduction - it's the end part where all the physical stunts and set pieces get thrown in did I start to lose interest and feel "numb".

Also I feel like the noise increase in the final third doesn't help with that "numbing" feeling either. Typically in the final act sound effects and music gets louder as things reach a crescendo. I'd be interested to know if there's ever been a study on the noise-levels and patterns in film. I feel like the final third would be much louder than the rest of the film the majority of the time. But maybe this is going slightly off-topic.

Anyway, do you feel the same? Or do you tend to prefer the final third where "shit hits the fan"?
