Here are my questions
Should it be
V+ing + something + simple past / past participle ?
or should it be
V+ing + something + to simple present?/ or + simple present ?
Or rather there never had
V+ing + anything above ?
My example sentence:
Considering so many reasons pushed me to watch this movie, I finally bought the ticket.
My options:
Considering so many reasons have pushed me to watch this movie , I………
Considering so many reasons push me to watch this movie , I……………
Considering so many reasons to push me (to watch? / watch? / watching?) this movie, I…..
Please tell me which of those are correct, and thank you!

Your first example is correct, and is in the past tense. You're saying that in the past, many things have pushed you until you finally, in the present, watch the movie.
Your second example is in the present tense, many things are currently pushing you to watch the movie, so you finally see it.
Your third example is incorrect. You can't use reasons in the general sense, you need to introduce them with the phrase 'there is/are' or a definite/indefinite article. The following examples are correct:
In these examples, I'm talking in a hypothetical sense. I'm saying that if you want to push me, I'm going to give you a good reason you could use to convince me.
